I’ve considered carry the knipex micro pliers that seem to be really trendy right now, but find myself questioning what they’d actually be useful for? I have a set of 7” knipex I tried using on a brass compressor hose fitting yesterday and they slipped way earlier than I thought they would when attempting to tighten the fitting on. Had to go get a second open ended wrench to snug it on.

Has me wondering what the 4” version would be good for?

Spending lots of time in the woods around the workshop, I can't say I wear these every time, but very frequently :

• Axe and sheath
• Knife and sheath

Walther PDP Pro-E Compact

This my training pistol which is a direct copy of my duty gun. Just over 8k rounds through it in the last 6 months.

Wanted something on-the-go and pocket friendly. Had a few variations, but dialed it in with this setup. No light or blade. This is tools only and is supplemental to my regular EDC.

Inside:

711L mini ratchet w/ bit extension

Tekton 4mm bit driver

Wera Rapidapter bit holder

Klein 2 in 1 metric impact socket (8mm/10mm)

Leatherman bit extender and ratchet driver

Knipex 4” Cobra and 4” pliers wrench

Tekton 4mm torx security bit set

Wera 1/4” assorted BiTorsion bit set

Outside:

So this is the stuff I carry on a daily basis. I decide what pair of headphones fit my day best. I never take all of them with me but sometimes two of the three. I carry a knife about 50% of the time but never more than one.

wallet: aunts&uncles (small German business)

phone: Sony Xperia 5V

keys: car keys in a cheap protective cover; house key; niteize Microlink for less clutter

watch: Garmin Instinct 3 solar; bandletic band

glasses: Oakley Port Bow

pen: LAMY Safari with a self-made endcap since the rubber one fell off

headphone options:

- skullcandy crusher anc 2 (absolutely sick bass no other headphone can do this IMHO with EQ a 9/10 for me)

- FiiO BTR 13 bluetooth dac amp with cheap 7HZ G1s ( even better sound quality; lighter; more isolation against surrounding noise; but less deep bass 8/10 for me)

- shokz OpenRun Pro 2 (even lighter; ears don't sweat; nice for long calls; great awareness of your surroundings; Great for sport; not that loud; mediocre sound quality; very low bass 7/10)

knife options:

- Böker Kwaiken stonewashed G10 (old model; flipper cut off for legal reasons)

- Brisa Bobtail with plastic sheath and ulticlip

flashlight: I have a nitcore EDC35 but it's not part of my edc because my phone and my watch have integrated led lights which feel sufficient for the day. At night that's a different story.

Have a nice day

Sling bag carry today. I have the Kizer Militaw gold dark matter carbon fiber and S45VN. The Loop Gear SK-05 PRO lives in my bag now. I also have the Knipex Cobra xs and Leatherman Skeletool CX.

In before r/DiWHY I don't like key fobs. I just don't lol, I miss carrying a regular key. They annoy me bouncing around on a carbineer/clip, they feel bulky and uncomfortable in my pocket (not diagnosed, but yeah, probably). And I don't like just throwing it loose into my purse. I wanted a way that was easy to clip to an inside pocket, and grab out if want to leave the bag at home or in the car. And it keeps it flat in a pants pocket, so it don't feel it there.

So I took the clip off a cheap tape measure. I didn't want to use a pop-rivet because I thought it would put too much stress on the plastic, my original plan was to use a small sex-bolt, but the only one I could find was aluminum, and by the time I cut it short enough there wasn't enough thread left and it stripped. Will probably use epoxy to build a kind of ramp under the clip because the rivet and back of the clip tends to snag, if I did it again I would put a little bend there so it angles down towards the plastic.

Pocket dump of the usuals. Some other doohickeys come and go but these stay on me.

I have been carrying my titanium key setup for a couple weeks now and I absolutely love it. The feel and looks are phenomenal. We all know it’s probably way overkill to carry titanium gear, but looking cool is half the battle. I ordered a ridge stone wash titanium wallet to replace the magpul daka, and I’m looking at a set of flytanium scales for the pm2 (not the tanto). I’m curious what your opinions are on the timex expedition north titanium and also what titanium lights you recommend.

Forgot I bought this little armbar when I was on sale last. Found it in my jacket pocket this morning, Came in handy today doing a quick diag on this car pulling panels to access to obd port. The blade was shit when I got it but the driver is nice to use. And of course the new arkpro is a kick ass light .
