Bit Bar is the “Pocket Friendly EDC Screwdriver”

I’m a big fan of space-saving EDC tools, and if you are too, have a look at the Bit Bar from BIGiDESIGN, maker of lots of cool and useful EDC items. The Bit Bar is essentially a slim, compact screwdriver that carries its own bits in a spring-loaded, magnetic rack inside it. Just push on the bottom of the rack with your thumb and you have access to all of the bits. Then, just insert one into the end of the Bit Bar and you are in business. It also includes a keyring slot, a pocket clip and the center can be used as a bottle-opener. Available in glass-reinforced nylon ($75) and two colors of Grade 5 titanium ($120 each), the Bit Bar is a bit pricey, but for anyone who uses a screwdriver frequently but wants a slim design, check out the Bit Bar. Visit BIGiDESIGN for more info or to order.

This EDC flashlight from Foursevens gets a lot of action

The Foursevens Bolt – Action Light ditches traditional tail cap or side switch for a sliding bolt mechanism. Featuring three brightness levels and four special output modes, the Bolt – Action Light is powered by two CR2 batteries that keep the CREE XM-L2 LED shining bright.

The flashlight has a max brightness of 490 lumens and 59 lumens on the low setting. The batteries will power the flashlight for 1.2 hours on high and 8 hours on low.

Other modes allow for longer run times, with the 1-lumen Moonlight mode allowing for 102 hours of light.

For more info on the Foursevens Bolt – Action Light, visit foursevens.com where you can buy one for $100.

READYMAN adds a low cost storage option to your belt

EDC fans love their gear, but sometimes they run out of pockets to carry that gear. READYMAN offers a genius solution. It’s their EDC Belt Sleeve and it adds a little extra storage space at your waist.

The READYMAN EDC Belt Sleeve is a low profile ballistic stretch nylon tube that fits over your existing belt. Just slide it on and now you have a grippy open-ended pocket for your flashlight, multi-tool, and more.

The EDC Sleeve lays flat when you’re not using it, so it doesn’t get in the way like some belt pouches.

At only $7, it won’t break the bank and it might free up a pocket. Head over to readyman.com for more info.

True Utility gives you another option for an EDC pocket pen

What makes a perfect EDC pocket pen? Is it the size of the pen, the material the pen is made of, the type of refill it uses, or something else? There are many EDC pens on the market that you can choose from and the Telescopic Pen from True Utility is another one to add to the list.

The Telescopic Pen features a cap that has a metal loop that can be used to attach the pen to a keychain. The pen cap also has strong magnets that keep it on the end of the pen.

The stainless steel and aluminum pen is 2.8 inches long when it’s not being used and telescopes to almost double the length when you need to write with it. And speaking of writing, the Telescopic pen comes with 3 ink refills.

You can read more about the Telescopic Pen at www.trueutility.com and you can buy one for less than $10 on Amazon.

One look and you might automatically love the Kershaw Launch 4 Automatic pocket knife

If you are anything like me, finding something to use as an EDC isn’t always the easiest task.  Often I go through multiple options before finding the device, gadget, bag or in this case pocket knife that works for me.  I have drawers full of failed EDC ideas that didn’t work for me for one reason or another. 

Now I really like pocket knives but I am not a huge collector of them.  I buy blades that I intend on using and like having one with me most of the time.  My day job is in a corporate setting where slacks and wingtips seem to be the unofficial uniform, making the search for an understated yet useful pocket knife a difficult task.  I have a plethora (for all you Three Amigos! fans out there) of knives that are right at home with a pair of jeans and boots but was never happy with them as an EDC to the office.

Recently I came across the Kershaw Launch 4 automatic knife.  Before running out and buying one of these, please check your state’s knife laws for automatic knives.  The overall length is just 5.10″ and the blade length is 1.90″ making this legal in the state of California.  The action is incredibly fast and precise and the blade and handle are much sturdier than you would expect from such a pint sized piece.  The blade is made from CPM-154 and the handle is solid aluminum.  It is a right-hand carry knife that blends right in with my daily attire and is now one of the items that I never leave home without.  Available in a myriad of colors the MSRP is about $130 but most every knife dealer or store has them for around $75.  A real bargain for such a useful little knife in my opinion.

This knife is available in a myriad of colors with an MSRP of about $130, but most every knife dealer or store has them for around $75.  A real bargain for such a useful little knife in my opinion.
