EDC - every day carry gear
« on: 21 October 2015, 10:16:17 pm »
Can anyone recommend a decent multi tool? Something not too bulky or pricey, I don't have the original underseat toolkit, so it's got to be useful. As you can see I rarely leave the house with empty pockets!

I have a Leatherman Charge AL which handles almost everything I can think of doing, but I can't think of one that includes a pair of glasses and an iphone.  :b


It's pricey at £118, but has lasted me over 10 years and shows no real wear yet.

Can't you just get an original toolkit or an approximation of one? There is room for one after all

I've got a Gerber suspension that I use for work, not bad at all for £25, and I'm not too arsed if I lose it at that price. I broke the pliers on it a couple of years ago, and Gerber sent me a new one out without question!

Still got one of the original leatherman tools I bought in Bosnia circa 1995 that comes out with me as it hasn't got a lock blade.
Lock knives are a big no-no in the UK, don't get caught carrying it!

Tool kits (in the original plastic packet) often turn up on eBay for £18 to £25. Better than a comprimise multi tool. :)
