EDC tools. What’s yours?

[eschoendorff]

My brother left this at my house a while back and I’ve been “keeping” it for him

I really like it. Just has the few things I need and nothing I don’t need. What’s yours?

I EDC a Tekton 5" ignition plier, a folding razor knife, an Alexander pocket screwdriver with magnet and a Leatherman tool. They get used often and save me many trips to the roller cabinet.

A Leatherman Wave + and a SOG trident folder.

 

[Provincial]

Pocket knife and 3" pocket slide calipers. I think I use the calipers the most!

This plus a Kershaw Leek

Old Leatherman PS2, discontinued long ago. Has most everything needed in a pinch, and it's very compact in its leather sheath. Bought an original Wave when they came out, liked the tool but didn't care for the sheath. 95% of the time I use the pliers.

Kershaw leek. I usually break the tip off (accidentally) and regrind to more of a drop point. I flip the clip so it comes out of the pocket its open at a finger's touch. The heal is actually an awesome paint can opener.

 

[Jbullfrog]

Leatherman Wave, CeeTee pliers, Craftsman mini multi tool, 4" Mac adjustable, stick magnet, 3' tape measure, 6" Knipex PlierWrench, 3 color select pen, and a Kyocera 4g flip phone.

Victorinox Spartan

Spyderco Endura and Victorinox Champ.

I have an older Guppie for a keychain.

 

[speed bump]

I've carried a Leatherman wave since they quit selling the PST II

[seber]

Spyderco Gail Bradley and P38 can opener on my key ring. The P38 get a lot of use for screws.

This and a Spyderco Para 2

I don't like keeping things in my pockets, but I always have a Leatherman Wave somewhere close.

I'm still getting used to it; my go-to for several years has been an SOG Powerlock, so I still have to stare the Wave for a while to sort out where the tool I need is and remember how to get it out. I could use the SOG with one hand and my eyes closed.

But the Wave is a lot lighter and pretty close as far as capabilities, and has some real advantages. I may yet switch back... dunno.

Gerber pocket knife that takes box cutter blades, with a Leatherman Wave and a Wera multibit screw driver in my bag. Planning on adding a 6" Cobra and Pliers Wrench to the bag soon, along with some other stuff as I find I need it. I work in IT and find my tools get used more and more. Might start keeping an impact or a drill and assorted goodies in the car as well.

Leatherman wave. If I am without it I’m lost.

Leatherman wave. If I am without it I’m lost.

Charge TI here, but basically the same thing.

 

[rebelram]

Benchmade 551, Victorinox Climber, and Streamlight Stylus Pro.
These vary a bit depending on where I'm going and what I'm doing, but the above is my core EDC.

 

[kctyphoon]

Wave Plus or the Leatherman Crater.. whatever finds its way into my pocket that day.. honestly, like 80% of what i need can be done with the Crater that has the driver bits in it. I have completely changed my opinion about that knife.

Missing from the picture is my weatherman and two safety locks.

one thing I use daily that I forgot to post is my Uncle Bill's silver gripper tweezers! Always pulling brass slivers out of my hands.

 

[Kasal]

Leatherman c33, and in a few days (before day 14) Leatherman Wave +.

 

[Robinson1]

Been carrying a Victorinox Tinker for a couple months now. Its came in handy a few times. Saved me a L-O-N-G walk back to the truck a few weeks ago for a screwdriver I forgot to grab. I'm always using it to pull outlet covers and tighten random screws

 

[freudianfloyd]

A Spiderco pocket knife that also gets used as a screwdriver, wire stripper, box cutter, chisel, pry bar, and any other tool I can use it for. I am usually not far from a toolbox when I am at work or home, so no need to carry one in my pocket.

 

[TRWham]

Original Leatherman Supertool, Case 503 knife, Streamlight ProtTac 2L flashlight and a Glock 43. The Streamlight is by far the most commonly used of these.
