Finally, someone who understands and includes practical and pragmatic EDC contents that aren't supposed to be useful in case of nuclear EMP or stranded on a back road in the winter. I am always looking for similar surprise items that can be handy. I am not looking for BOB or GHB content. Kudos on explaining what an EVERY DAY carry bag should contain.
Yeah I appreciate the realistic content too. I have a bag I keep in my car to get me or a friend out of small mechanical problems. Mine is similar to this but I got some good ideas for additions from this video. Refreshing to get a useful practical edc bag video
Good to hear you support the buy American motto , if we keep it up and demand American made .plus sites are coming out American made only. Thanks for your service Hoorah keep up the good work.
I really like you focus on American made products. This kit is very practical. Also, appreciate your service, patriotism, and your commitment to family.
Bro, part of the reason I love your channel is because most of your stuff is practical. EDC isn't always about SHTF (although that has its purpose). Sometimes its nice to see things I can actually use EVERYDAY. Great job brother.
As a Farmer, i truly appreciate this tool organization, i duplicated a lot of this kit because i needed small tools, but couldn’t get things done fast enough in the field with ONLY good multitool, thanks big dawg 🤙🏼
One thing I like to keep in my kit like that is a small tire repair kit . I can plug a tire if I need to weather it's my tire or someone else that is stranded . Its really small and doesn't take up much room
i was an engineer on a swcc boat and had a small drop leg pouch very close to this kit. only thing id add ia a 25 ft length of paracord, and a roll of electrical tape.
I really appreciate that this kit looks well used. Also, I swear every household has a pair of those yellow needle nose pliers and no recollection of ever buying them
I work as an industrial mechanic. I like knipex water pump pliers. They come in different sizes and the ones I use alot are their 5inch model. The best part is they lock in place, and made in Germany. They are so good I bought them in different sizes because nothing compares to them. They also have an adjustable wrench that would take up less space. Thanks for showing us what you have.
I always EDC tools , plier wise , mostly Knipex ( for both work and play ) , terminal , and eyeglass drivers , utility knife , and Multitool , stubby and about 5” 1/4 hex magnetic bit holders . For nuts etc a 125 mm knipex Plierwrench , and Cobra ( 125 mm , approx 5” ) . For anything electrical , an NCV detector ( Klein ) , which has an LDM . Also Wago 221 levernuts ( 2 , 3 , and 5 conductor iterations .
The MUT is a beast. My son gave me one a couple of Christmases ago. Incidentally he just retired from the Corps two weeks ago. After viewing your video it dawned on me with all the go bags I have I don’t have a set up like this. I will be making one this weekend. God bless you and all those who have or are serving.
I carry my multi tool when I’m out and about. But I have a small tool set in my house, both vehicles, and then my main tools in my garage. I do tend to carry my knipex 7” pliers wrench, mostly bc I put it in my back pocket and forget about it. 15 years of maintenance habits haha
Good assortment of tools. I keep a similar set of tools in my truck. Can't help thinking that tools are only half the story. The other half is a set of hardware, e.g., assorted screws, nuts, washers, cotter pins, heat shrink tubing, etc. You could fit a small roll of steel baling wire (3 ft or more) to tie up a falling muffler or car grille, bumper, or other temporary fix. Thanks for the video.
Dude you have some of the best content on youtube. I'm trying to become more able as i get older and more people rely on me. You and Corporals Corner got me covered man.
Thank you for your service. I always try and keep some medical options in mind. Band-aids, a bandana, possibly some cleaner/sanitizer. Thanks for your channel. Very helpful. Also, I just picked up a RoverTac Multitool Knife with multiple screwdriver bits and a pair of very good scissors. Thanks again.
Great kit! Add on suggestions: Mini Sharpie, Mini Bic, Duct Tape (wrapped around Bic), WD40 or oil dispenser pen, 6" half round bastard file, Victorinox knife sharpening pen, a 1/4" drive mini ratchet (+ sockets?), 50' of 200# Kevlar cord, a smaller micro bit driver set.
Another great video. I like having a small towel/scarf that is a bright color. Something to lay small parts, bits, and whatever on so they don't get lost while working. Also if needed to wipe a small spill or hands afterwards, useful for that too.
I use a red bandana , mask , head covering , bandage etc. Red will show the parts and can be used as a signal device and as a flag for long loads like lumber
I really like the idea of bringing tools to friends houses, just in case. I keep my empty tool pouch, with all the tools for it, in a tool roll, in my trunk. That way I can grab just the tool roll, or load up the pouch, and be like “ok … you got a circle saw”? let’s do this! lol
My kit is very similar. I like the flashlight and note pad. I’ll have to add those. I don’t carry a bit driver since I have Phillips & flat head on the multitool. Hammer is always tricky for these little kits. By their nature, they’re long and bulky. The MSR Stake Hammer solves the bulk, but non the length.
What an awesome load out bro! I have the same Husky 2 ended screwdriver and it made me a hero with my in-laws when their sliding door handle came loose and it was the only tool that could fit under the handle to tighten the screw up. The glass was in the way of a regular screwdriver. Thanks for your service 💪🏻
I gave 2 of my own design tool kits to a set of twins for their 18th Birthdays. I told them to shove them in their glove boxes & I gave them both a first aid kit each with same pouch. At Xmas the son tells me he used the tool kit to fix his car as they were 2 hours away from the holiday home.
I have a similar usa made craftsman bit driver. It has the ratcheting mechanism. Holds bits in the handle. Has a small screw cap to retain the bits. Nice write up👍🏻
Thank you for your service. I was with the 82nd Airborne and trained with the Marines at Camp Onofree (not sure on the spelling), in California. I have the fatty also, your bag seems more tool oriented mine is more generic. I have a small bic lighter and a thing of chapstick which I have a gorilla tape wrapped around for whatever needs. The chapstick can be used as a fire starter and in a jam you can use it to lubricant squeaky hinges and desk drawers that stick, etc…. Since you have the Leatherman seems like you could ditch the needle nose. I also carry a length of paracord, like tape, you can never go wrong with it. Great channel!
Thanks for the vid, it really helped me create/ build my tool bag. I did add some items such at a magnetic probe and a telescoping mirror. Lover you tips and vids!
I have 2 tool kit bags that are virtually exactly the same as yours (different brands though obviously). I have one of the kits in the car and the other in the cabinet next to our home 1st Aid/Trauma kit. Don't really EDC it as it's overkill, but having one in the car means it's usually close at hand. For EDC I have my Leatherman Signal with the add-on bit kit and driver which covers 95% of my daily/regular tool needs along with my Gerber Armbar. The Signal recently became my full time EDC multitool, but I still have Rebars, Sidekicks and Revs in all my various kits and bags and the family's emergency bags. I have 4 of those Prybrids, they're awesome.
Pretty good kit. I have a few different mini kits and a plain larger mechanic's tool kit in a smaller tool bag..socket set, combination wrench set, a 6 in 1 screwdriver, an electrical tool kit and a couple a meters...(a VOM, a car battery tester, an obd 2 tool...) a small air compressor various channelock pliers, vise grips and lineman pliers. This I keep in the vehicle, obviously.
I'd never edc a toolkit like that on my person, but it's a great idea to keep in the car for some quick grab and go tools. Even in you have a larger toolbox, it's usually not something you want to lug around.
Very comprehensive and well thought out kit . I have most of the same tools but need to get them organized into a compact kit like you have. I would also like to extend a thank you for your service.
I put together something similar that got 80% complete and then slowed down on the project. I used a vanquest organizer and wish i would have gone 1 size bigger. In place of the pouch i cut some velcro cable ties to length and stuck them head to toe alternating rows (like sharing a bed as a kid) on the velcro spot, 2 layers thick.
Thank you for the great video and video insightful information. I took your recommendations and built a bag for myself. I am a Leatherman man but my MUT is going to stay in my shooting range bag and I used a WAVE for my EDC bag.
I'd probably swap the slip joint plyers for a some plumbing slip joint offset plyers, for plumbing tasks, wider jaws than anything you currently have. I might go with a 6in1 or 12in1 screwdriver, probably an electricians screwdriver, and ditch some spair bits, use the ones on the screwdriver. Dedicated prybar, mini one, but larger than yours, and ditch the little knife bar combo, use the knife on the Leatherman instead, or Gerber's pocket box cutter with full size replaceable blade, and keep extras, a fresh box cutter blade is hard to beat for some jobs. I might ditch the needle nose for the Leathermans plyers, and I might swap the adjustable wrench for a knipex, but maybe not, depends on what you do, I find it gets the job done better most of the time than a regular adjustable. Zip ties, electrical tape. 😉 Great kit sir, very practical.
I use the same pouch. You got everything covered other than a lighter and maybe some duct tape. I have a Leatherman surge and a Leatherman crunch in there. Replaces alot of the individual items you have but also adds redundancy between the two which will lighten up the pack a bit. You wouldn't need the needle nose, vise grips and/or the crescent wrench if you just got the Leatherman crunch and kept your MUT in there. That being said, they ain't cheap.
Nice assortment of multi and single-purpose tools. At the 9:28 mark, I like that flashlight (Lumen-Top). I would strongly suggest using a litihum AA battery. It will not corrode and damage your flashlight like regular and alkaline batteries ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS do. The extra price is worth it.
If you have room, a 4-inch or 5-inch Knipex slip-joint plier tool is nice to have in your EDC bag. The mouth opening is pretty sweet for grasping from small to large items.
I carry a couple of hex fit drill bits they fit in my bit driver and are handy for enlarging/clearing holes making quick pilots for screws and a couple of other things
A fantastic video. Very thoughtful and thorough. I may have missed it, but I would add zip ties and some basic first aid items. Thank you for your service.
nice to see a mini kit that can actually fix something. id ditch the needle nose because the leatherman has them, switch the slip joints for a small pair of channellocks or cobras, ditch the bit driver for a klein 11n1. maybe squeeze in a roll of electrical tape.
Thanks for your service. I’ve been prepping long before prepping was a thing. I appreciate your approach concentrating on tools and not just the SHTF things. It’s always great to be prepared for what comes up in daily life.
I use the same one... except the Chinese (PRC) knockoff! I can't fit a full size Leatherman, but I keep a Squirt and a T4 in mine, and a small Knipex wire/bolt cutter. I keep two AA batteries in the front mesh pouch for my flashlight. I also keep a survival "axe head" that was a dumb purchase a few years back. Its another blade if nothing else... I like the mini crescent wrench Idea. Gonna work that into my bag somehow. I have a bit driver on my T4, and I'm gonna put some more bits in my kit. Cheers and Semper Fi.
I've got the bigger prybrid with the typical utility blades and being that I work landscaping it sees extreme use and is so far holding up well to cutting turf and scoring irrigation boxes lol
, wire saw, gorilla tape, tube o super glue, machinist wire, the multi tool is freakin cool but I rly prefer the leatherman super tool mostly for the saw and file. Couple of nails/screws .a hose clamp. Lighter . Ranger bands were good , Topek mini ratchet functions as bit driver and to pair with it a universal socket , sharpie ! , I would lose the needle nose and the slip joint pliers and replace w/ the knipix and keep the crecent .small wad of sand paper .6 in ruler/straight edge ,syringe of jb weld . Back th large compartment with flattened thin wall pvc .small length of rubber or gasket to be used i with th hose clamp for leaking pipe/radiator hose bandaid. Small length of wire w/ a couple terminal connection for small wire repairs. Cloths pins .Stanley 6 in pry bar .allosun multimeter.pice of hacksaw blade. … just ideas 🤔
Great video! I have been adjusting and upgrading my bag like this for years and you gave me some new ideas to use. Also I am not much of a Gerber fan, however love the utility tool 😎
I’m a new sub and been binge watching all your videos! thank you for the valuable information and edc knowledge. Just an average joe but definitely wanna be ready for anything
Switch out the adjustable wrench and slip joint for just 1 knipex pliers wrench, less weight and bulk and better gripping power. A leatherman bit kit could replace most of the drivers and bits. Not as nice to use as a proper driver but would take up so much less space and weight An extendable magnetic pick up tool is a good addition
What about to put in some Mini-Butane Torch, and some soldering Pewter? Anyway, Thank You for the Video, Sir! And Thank You, for the Service! By the Way, yet another Great Video! Best Wishes to You, from Norway! Thumbs UP!😀👍
Nice pouch dump. I didn't know about that little Gerber Prybrid. It just landed in the Amazon cart. I keep two American Silver Eagles in that front mesh pocket. of my Maxi mini pocket.

Great tip!
Finally. Real EDC. No fishing lures in an Altoids tin for people in the suburbs. So helpful and practical. You had me at loose toilet seat.
No fire starters for suburbans with 3 bic lighters?
i was an engineer on a swcc boat and had a small drop leg pouch very close to this kit. only thing id add ia a 25 ft length of paracord, and a roll of electrical tape.
That had to be an interesting position.
I really appreciate that this kit looks well used.

Second this, I find them more usefull in a wider range of tasks than a strictly adjustable wrench. 👍
Same thing bro, i work as a Mechanic for cigarette machines, u used to carry 5.5,6,7,8,10,13 spanners. But when i discovered knipex i only bring one!!
Finally an adjustable wrench, a truly useful tool, beats the hell out if needle nose pliers.
I live out in the country so having a good set of Fencing pliers,16p nails,duct tape, bailing wire, super glue,bankline

One of the best versions of these small, in-a-pinch packs. Actual tools. Sometimes the utility of full tools is better than a multitool.
Tools with a pinch of rust = dirt time. Thanks
I carry my multi tool when I’m out and about. But I have a small tool set in my house, both vehicles, and then my main tools in my garage. I do tend to carry my knipex 7” pliers wrench, mostly bc I put it in my back pocket and forget about it. 15 years of maintenance habits haha

+1 on hardware. Difficult to screw somn tgether if u ain’t got screws
Spare screws sounds like a win.
@@stevog44 I like the way you think hahaha
This is genius didnt have many of these tools in mind. Thank You for everything you have shared or for your service Sir.
Tradie here, swap your adjustable spanner for a Knipex pump pliers or ranch pliers. Adjustable’s are so last year.
Great idea. That's in another one of my kits. Specifically my kitchen junk drawer. I just don't want you pliers to grow legs
Subscribed simply as a fellow Marine. Semper Fi! Great content too!!
Thanks killer!
Dude you have some of the best content on youtube. I'm trying to become more able as i get older and more people rely on me. You and Corporals Corner got me covered man.
Solid kit. I always keep a silcock tool handy just in case you need water and the knob requires said tool. Cheers man
Something to consider is exchanging out the torx bist with security torx bits. They will go both ways
Thank you for your service. I always try and keep some medical options in mind. Band-aids, a bandana, possibly some cleaner/sanitizer. Thanks for your channel. Very helpful.

Add a Bic Lighter 🔥 and some basic first aid stuff like bandages, alcohol wipes, antibiotics etc, and 3 fts of parachord 😉
I would Def say a roll of electric tape. Granted I am an electrician but I always find a need or use for it all the time when I'm out and about
Semper Fi. Great video. Practical kit. I have many of these tools but haven’t assembled them together in this thoughtful way. Thanks.
I got a jumbo maxpedition organizer all three of the outside pockets of my alice pack and I have a micro organizer for my on person EDC

Self amalgamating silicon tape is what I would add...super handy stuff.

I have 4 of those Prybrids, they're awesome.
You are an EDC guru. You’re giving me some good ideas.
If you need to think about it, then you haven't needed it and it's probably safe to say you won't need it.
Pretty good kit. I have a few different mini kits and a plain larger mechanic's tool kit in a smaller tool bag..socket set, combination wrench set, a 6 in 1 screwdriver, an electrical tool kit and a couple a meters...(a VOM, a car battery tester, an obd 2 tool...) a small air compressor various channelock pliers, vise grips and lineman pliers.

That Lumintop is an excellent flashlight. I've had one for like 6 months and use it all the time. Super bright !
I've got most of these items in my Jeep liberty, it has a built in tool box in the rear compartment built into the floor.
I put together something similar that got 80% complete and then slowed down on the project. I used a vanquest organizer and wish i would have gone 1 size bigger. In place of the pouch i cut some velcro cable ties to length and stuck them head to toe alternating rows (like sharing a bed as a kid) on the velcro spot, 2 layers thick.

1/4 inch ratchet and a 10mm socket is what I’d add. Great video though and something that fits a wide variety of task/ needs.
NICE! Maxpedition is great. I added an old gift card wrapped in gorilla tape to lay flat. Thanks!
Great kit for the small size. Makes me think.
Nice little edc bag with a glass of "alright alright alright" . Might have to get one of these bags for my dad since he's more of a man than me 😅

Band Aids. Having an open wound on your hands, even a small one, can make life extremely difficult. Great toolkit!

nice to see a mini kit that can actually fix something. id ditch the needle nose because the leatherman has them, switch the slip joints for a small pair of channellocks or cobras, ditch the bit driver for a klein 11n1. maybe squeeze in a roll of electrical tape.
With a kiddo I would add a first aid kit in there
I have one in my EDC bag itself
Thanks for your service. I’ve been prepping long before prepping was a thing. I appreciate your approach concentrating on tools and not just the SHTF things. It’s always great to be prepared for what comes up in daily life.
Before prepping was a thing? Prepping was a thing during WW1 and before you were even born.
@@slyfer5321 I was referring to the word, not the concept.

I keep two AA batteries in the front mesh pouch for my flashlight. I also keep a survival "axe head" that was a dumb purchase a few years back. Its another blade if nothing else...

I've got the bigger prybrid with the typical utility blades and being that I work landscaping it sees extreme use and is so far holding up well to cutting turf and scoring irrigation boxes lol
Probably can squeeze in:
zip ties
super glue
small roll of duct and/or electrical tape
shrink tube
A few electrical connectors
Bic mini lighter.
Maxpedition is awesome. I have several of their pouches and a few back packs. They make good grayman style back packs
, wire saw, gorilla tape, tube o super glue, machinist wire, the multi tool is freakin cool but I rly prefer the leatherman super tool mostly for the saw and file. Couple of nails/screws .a hose clamp. Lighter . Ranger bands were good , Topek mini ratchet functions as bit driver and to pair with it a universal socket , sharpie ! , I would lose the needle nose and the slip joint pliers and replace w/ the knipix and keep the crecent .small wad of sand paper .6 in ruler/straight edge ,syringe of jb weld . Back th large compartment with flattened thin wall pvc .small length of rubber or gasket to be used i with th hose clamp for leaking pipe/radiator hose bandaid. Small length of wire w/ a couple terminal connection for small wire repairs. Cloths pins .Stanley 6 in pry bar .allosun multimeter.pice of hacksaw blade.
… just ideas 🤔
Great information in this video. Thank you for sharing your kit. I would add a little bubble level to the kit.
Nice kit! Maybe some tape
, electrical or gaffer and a few Band Aids in case of a slip
Great video! I have been adjusting and upgrading my bag like this for years and you gave me some new ideas to use. Also I am not much of a Gerber fan, however love the utility tool 😎
It is neat and inexpensive!
Well done sir. I like that micro driver set, very handy to have. I have the MUT in my range bag, I need a second for my truck.
I have this pouch and love it
I’m a new sub and been binge watching all your videos! thank you for the valuable information and edc knowledge. Just an average joe but definitely wanna be ready for anything
This gives me information to improve my kits. Enjoy your videos, thanks.
Glad to help!
Switch out the adjustable wrench and slip joint for just 1 knipex pliers wrench, less weight and bulk and better gripping power.
A leatherman bit kit could replace most of the drivers and bits. Not as nice to use as a proper driver but would take up so much less space and weight
An extendable magnetic pick up tool is a good addition
I definitely am using the Knipex to whip my kitchen drawer into shape.
Great kit loadout, gave me a couple of good ideas. Subbed!
What about to put in some Mini-Butane Torch, and some soldering Pewter? Anyway, Thank You for the Video, Sir! And Thank You, for the Service! By the Way, yet another Great Video! Best Wishes to You, from Norway! Thumbs UP!😀👍
Morse code on the back of the notebook very handy!
Klein has an electricians ratchet 1/4 inch bit driver 72 teeth it’s pretty awesome
Your videos are interesting and informative-good job, Marine!
Nice pouch dump. I didn't know about that little Gerber Prybrid. It just landed in the Amazon cart.
I keep two American Silver Eagles in that front mesh pocket. of my Maxi mini pocket.
Excellent content, very informational. Semper Fi !!
