Product Sourcing:
When it comes to sourcing a product for review, I will usually either purchase and item personally or reach out to a supplier requesting a sample for review. Most suppliers, after seeing the channel, are supportive if they are confident in their product, appreciating the value of greater exposure.
I am sometimes asked to review a product by a supplier which I will only agree to if the product fits the channel and I believe will be of interest to you, my audience. Also the product needs to be worthy of a review. It is not in my interest to review inferior or poor quality products and therefore as you might expect many requests are politely declined.
Any sponsored videos (paid for reviews) are clearly stated as such so there can be no misunderstanding. Even with sponsored reviews I will only agree to a sponsorship on products and services which I believe will be of genuine interest to viewers.
I will always make reference in the video to products which have been provided for review by a supplier and I always make it clear to the supplier that they cannot influence or be involved in the review in any way if they choose to supply a product.
Sometimes a supplier will provide a link to the product or the supplier which I am happy to include in the description. Sometimes I will be provided with an affiliate link so I can earn a commission on sales and this helps to support channel costs but never at the expense of an honest review.
If a product I have reviewed is available from Amazon I will often include an Amazon link in the description. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. If you purchase a product or service with the links that I provide I may receive a small commission. There is no additional charge to you.
Comments:
I really appreciate the feedback in the comments - I find it a source of knowledge and inspiration - so thank you to all of you who take the time to contribute. I have recently found that if I continue to respond to all the comments as the number of videos builds, it takes time away from being able to produce new content which would be very counter productive! - so my aim is to read everything I can and reply when I can, after each video goes live, until the next video goes live a week later. I'll see how that works out 😊
Thank you for supporting the channel so I can continue to provide you with regular reviews, thoughts and ideas and (hopefully) inspiration! Please consider subscribing to keep up to date with new video releases. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
We're not going to talk about the perfectly organized garage full of bins? :-)
Yep, I want a video on the garage storage solutions too.
Ha! Not sure if anybody is interested in that!
I love the squirt, a good quality little tool. 👍
As always very through. Thank you.
Ratchet belts are all I'll wear any more. They are a game changer.
good to know 👍
“You can adjust the belt to how many beers you’ve had.” 🤣 🍺 🤣 Love Jon’s humor and his work (of course). 👍🏻
Thank you 🙏 appreciated.
Wishing you a great Father's Day - Not sure if you're a father, but you're definitely a man of influence which qualifies you for well-wishes on Father's Day! Thanks for curating such high-caliber products I know I can trust and enjoy.
Thanks for the feedback and kind comments 👍
I’ll say it before. And I’ll say it again. Thank you so much for the link to the products. And also the links within the video. You da man
Thank you 👍 you're very welcome
Thank you for another very enjoyable and informative video, I definitely agree with you in regarding the small Leatherman , I have had a Leatherman Wave for years, a really useful and easy to carry (5th pocket) multi-tool.
Take care
Sam
Thanks
Welcome 👍
the belts are great value and super comfortable
😂😂😂 Scrap last question on the bell Roy desk caddy Jon mate gone for it will organise new gear arround it looks ace 😂😂👍🇬🇧
been contemplating to get those quad lock set for such a long time now, I’m used to having my nomad case for all of my iPhones simply because I prefer leather cases (for the feel and patina) but yeah! thanks for showcasing it Jon might be time to pull the trigger 😁
No problem. I know what you mean, looks vs practicality.
I own 3 of the kore belts, they are fabulous and you just can not beat the perfect fit that they provide with the utmost quality. And as a bonus they do ship direct to the UK fairly quick.
Thanks for the feedback - appreciated
Always useful. I own the belt shown, and it is superb - holds up my trousers very well.
Good to know
Another great pile of gadgets 🤓 Again, groups of products are my favorite videos.
The quality is top notch as always, great job guys
Thanks Eyal - great to hear.
I have a lot of respect for your knowledge ....... based on years of business experience. So thanks for that.
Thanks Nigel, kind of you to say 😊
Leatherman used to sell a squirt with wire strippers instead of the pliers. I still want one.
Yes, I remember it - perfect for anyone who works on radio gear!
Yes it was very much so again . Useful I mean . Thank you 👍
You’re welcome. Great to hear.
Getting pioneer for bdaay
Upon your suggestion, six months ago i started using two nano clips to carry my rovyvon aurora a8x and my SAK cadet. The clips are discreet at the office and I stopped losing gear. Great tips. Great channel. Thanks
Thanks for the feedback, really nice to hear when someone has benefited from the content - I use the clips too and for something so small and affordable they are a game changer for my carry
@@JonGadget unfortunately, my rovyvon aurora a8x failed me today. After 9 months the internals got twisted and the charging port no longer lines up with the port. I think I will go back to the little Olight. It doesn't push as many lumens but they last forever.
Love your videos Jon.
Thanks Ash
Thanks Jon for another great review.
Have to say though that 50 quid for the tech pouch seems a bit steep when you compare it to the proliferation of other EDC organisers which come in at half that of less.
It sits in the middle price-wise - Bellroy is never budget!
Great video as usual. Love the PioneerX and the Squirt ps4.
Thanks - me to 👍
Great idea for a video tbf
Thanks 👍
Awesone gear..great vid!
Many thanks 👍
Thanks for reviews. Anson makes same belts for longer I think. I have several and great texas company. Family owned.
I think you might be right - Kore have a couple of patents I believe though for their mechanism
Very very nice ideas… great selected 👌🏻👍🏻
Thank you
I find the Acebeam UC15 to be the best little edc flashlight to carry on a keychain as it uses two AAA batteries and they last forever. It’s also got a red led and an ultraviolet light on it too.
Will check it out - thanks for sharing
When a bag costs more than anything inside. LOL
😁
You love your scissors. seriously check out the Nextool Flagship Pro. proper scissors that you can feel the blades meet and a rediculous level of engendering quality overall
thanks for feedback - on the list to check out
@@JonGadget NP. It is more of a home/holiday multitool than an EDC due to its heft but it is just satisfying to open and close bits of this to hear and feel the machining tolerances
Man I do want that Bellroy Desk Caddy. At work we have flex working spots and switch constantly currently I just throw my wholo bagpack on the table to get easy access to a compartment of it :D
it's working well for me - not too big - if you have lots of gear though it might not be big enough
I technically have two dads, and also technically no dads as I'm not in touch with either, so I'm here for me only haha. I really like that Bellboy caddy! I also got a Gerber version of the Leatherman Squirt and it's the best for just day to day tat. I've used it mainly for getting pins out of the wall at work (after cutting myself on one) and used it for computer stuff too. All round good tools!
thanks for the feedback 👍
So I mainly carried the compact for almost a year, I wanted something a bit tougher so I switched it for the PST. Can’t live without the scissors. The pioneer x is such a great compromise, gf will miss the tweezers…
Yes, scissors key for me too
Nice stuff, but fathers day was last week! 🤭 ( Here in Germany)
Ooops! I didn’t know that!
Enjoyed the video Jon. Can I suggest another belt option, slim, lightweight infinitely adjustable and it's been to space. No commission here but check out the Grip6 offering (they even do socks)
Will check it out - thanks 👍
Hey Jon! Does the caddy fit in the tech pouch section of the workpack? Thanks!
new to the channel. so many good things about the video. great video good sound. great background and info but not sure the intro music goes with the rest
thanks for the feedback - the intro could probably do with an update now - it's on the list
About the belts, I don't think they are the originators as mentioned. Please check Anson Belts. With waybackmachine you can go back to 2011!
I checked and you're right - Kore have a couple of patents for their design though I believe - thanks for feedback
The Tini 2 is really an incredible little light, I have two (one in Titanium, highly recommended) and will probably get more of them.
The only downside is the lack of a sub-lumen moonlight mode. But almost no flashlight at that price/size have that.
Squirt + Tini + a lighter and you have most urban uses covered in a very small package. I carry a Squirt every day at work, attached to my access card.
Hi, i was interested in the Tiny but read à few negative about durability and lack of water protection (,even under heavy rain not being immersed) but i might fall for it still
@@JoeGillian0 It's durable enough to ride in a pocket. As for water protection I haven't had any trouble with it and it's rated at IP54 which seems to be accurate.
@@swe_nurse8121 IP54 is good enough for me. Thank s a lot :-)
great feedback 👍
I prefer the Farmer X in the original silver aluminium as it still looks good after your keys have bashed against it.
And you can easily customize the silver one with a bit of nail polish too. I painted mine with black and then wiped it gently with a rag with acetone to give it a bit rustic look.
But you can of course also use red if you want the more classic SAK look.
@@RyderDK that’s a good idea, thanks Daniel.
Gamer X is great too
Good idea Daniel
sadly the Tini wont be good for more then 1.5 -2 years. battery will degrade badly. but is a good tool as long as it last.
the Squirt is a gem. it can cut 3mm hardwire, scissors are good and can be sharpened to be awesome, blade is very good too, a bit tricky to sharpen.
enjoying review as always! greetings from Romania.
Greetings to Romania 😊 Thanks for the feedback.
@@JonGadget hi.
i must do justice for this flashlight. i thought the battery is not good anymore but is almost as good as new. i tested on medium, it last almost 3hours (3x1hour) with no visible step down,maybe its there but eyes adjust at darkness too. then it start dimming but not that bad. the real problem its that on a keychain it will go on and depleat by itself in a pocket, even in demo mode. thats why i thought the battery is broken.
edit the flashlight is more then 4 years old, not 2 years as i thought.
Will you be doing a more in depth comparison of Bellroy Desk Caddy to Tech Kit video?
You should look into Grip6 and do a review of the products they have.
The ratchet belts started as gun belts
Great suggestions Jon. I've been a big fan of Quad Lock products for a decade now. The bike mount is my favorite.
Great to hear 👍👍
I prefer the gerber dime at half the price of the squirt.
check out my review comparing them!
The only thing that I didn't like was the flashlight. I absolutely can't stand rechargeable flashlights, especially where I live. I prefer to own a maglite solitaire, and I only put a battery in it when I need it, but I also carry extra batteries. When the power goes out here, it could be 10 minutes, or it could be a day or two.
Thanks for the feedback - good to know
I’ve owned and carried knives and tools since the original leatherman wave. I don’t think I’ve ever needed a reamer, yet the Alice features one as do others. Other than maybe punching a notch in a leather belt (losing weight is nice!), what else do people use the reamer for?
I use most for pilot hole for drilling and this one good for package opening
I use them as a tiny marline spike for undoing knots.
Fantastic gear thire m8 just a quick question that bellroy desktop organiser do you know if it will accomerdate a beast of a bank m8..

zedure rock
My wife just buys me silver and guns anymore 😂
Great video as ever, Jon! Just a heads up that the Leatherman Squirt has apparently now been discontinued - I sent one in under warranty recently and was told they are no longer in production. No idea why!
That's a shame. I use mine all the time.
Wow - didn’t know that - thanks for info
Squirt PS4 has not been discontinued
Other Squirt models have been discontinued
@@TheRomanBros It has been discontinued in the UK, unfortunately - I was told so directly by Leatherman. I think it's still available for purchase from a few third-party sellers, and of course it may still be in production elsewhere!
Happy Saturday & Happy Fathers Day Jon, some great gadgets there! My favourite from the Pioneer series is tied between the Pioneer X & the Farmer X, I have both in my EDC rotation. I've got a Silver Alox Farmer X & a Black Alox one and I have 5 Pioneer X's including 2 of the 2021 Orange models ( 1 for EDC use & one in my collection ) 1 x the 2022 Thunder Grey models in my collection ( I think its rather more a dirt grey colour ) and 1 each of a Blue & Red Pioneer X's ( I passed on the Silver Alox Pioneer X but do have a regular Silver Pioneer model as an occasional Gentleman's pocket carry ) which along with the most handsome Orange model I frequently pocket carry as they are sturdy & relatively slim & lightweight. Since you live in the UK & are not allowed to carry larger knives & ones that lock I will only add for those of us that live in less draconian law societies that allow both knife & firearms carry, IMO a Buck 112 Ranger makes an excellent Fathers Day gift as it combines elegance with practicality in a more compact size & also one of the smaller Civivi flipper knives such as the Elementum.
Great feedback as always Steve - I'm sure readers will find this useful - Alox are always a great option which ever one you go for
@@JonGadget Happy Saturday Jon, have a good & relaxing Sunday!
Just wondering would that zendure travel adaptor rapid charge my Anker 26800 pd bank if normal plug about 5 half hours if anker one 3 hours
Without a Nitecore i didnt know how much cleaning i need to do now around my house... :()
🤣
Flashlight just takes up space when you have a phone with pretty powerful light
Phone light is very short range and doesn’t really compare
congratulations for avoiding Socks ( even ' adventure / tactical ' ones )
Thanks!
😎👍
Need a "dopp kit" video. What's the best toiletries pouch? Fitting in cargo pocket would be optimal
Jon did one a while ago, look down the list of videos.
There is one if you check out the others vids on the channel
Do you have discount code for zendure?
this should give you 10% (hopefully!) - zendure.com?aff=14
17:39 i took a look on their website... 1 Year (1 Year !!) warranty for a Belt that costs over $50? Embarrassing!
Wow all over priced and most of them useless, but you did a great job presenting them.
er.....thank you 😬
Would have been nice if that charger had a battery
that would have been good 👍
You're awesome btw
The belts are horrible. Then tend to strip on the track. Belt tears out by the buckle.
sorry to hear that - they look good to me - but I've not subjected them to heavy use
this is sad :( he didn't use a MagSafe mount
not this time!
🇵🇬🇵🇬
watch this video on 2.0x speed 😉
half speed will help you sleep!
james brand is way too over priced imo
Useful toys please, posh friend. get out of your Land Rover once in a while and recommend actual, real life useful tools
sorry - this is as good as it gets 😁
