    I watch a lot of EDC channels but this one is my new favorite. I added a couple of new tools, which really surprised me; I rarely add anything to my EDC. Thanks!

    The Cinch-a-lot I had was a much larger version. I put my travel mug in the "cinch" end and a larger carabineer on the other. I would attach to my tool bag or (when my hands were full) right onto a belt loop.

  • @FAngus-ly8lk
    @FAngus-ly8lk 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've had a Leatherman Squirt PS4 on my keychain for more than a year. It's just an ideal compact pocket tool. Most of the time I don't notice I'm carrying it. I'm never without my keys, so I'm never without a useful blade, scissors, pliers, a couple of little screwdrivers and a nailfile. It's small, but rugged and well-made, and it saves me from having to carry a larger pocketknife or tool. Lately a lens keeps popping out of my glasses (I'm overdue for a new pair), and the PS4 has been quite handy as a repair tool.

    I've got one of the leatherman styles, and the spring on the scissors has broken 3 times. The weird thing is that it's never been when I was using the tool, but when I've taken it out of my pocket I've noticed that the spring has snapped. No idea why, but it keeps happening!

      @Heizenberg32 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @@brimstone33 I carry the Style most days, but switch it out for the Dime occasionally. The only time I had to contact the manufacturer of either tool was for the same reason: Lost tweezers. Leatherman gave me the option to ship in the whole tool for a warranty claim, or to buy replacement tweezers out-of-pocket. Needing to mail them the tool just so they could pop in a set of tweezers was pretty silly. It was my own fault for losing the tweezers, so I will credit them for at least having options for me. But I never bothered to follow through. Gerber never replied to me. A new set of tweezers just showed up in the mail a couple of weeks later! So, I will give the win to Gerber's customer service over Leatherman's, in this instance

With these your keys etc won’t accidentally fall off.

      I found this neodymium magnet at Wal Mart too in the key section for $5.00. While it's obviously too powerful to keep in your pocket. I keep it around to make a retrieval tool to pick up metal items dropped. Keep it around to test metals if you scrap metals. You can also use it to remove the security devices from clothing if you happen to have some one forget to remove one. Obviously you can use it to securely hang a key from a metal surface. You can use it to hang a flashlight overhead. I recommend it. Just use common sense.
