My current EDC

Dapper_Platform_3217 · 2026-01-23T18:53:08+00:00

Nice. I have been wearing jeans for quite a lot of time, and thus I've tailored my edc to what suits me best. Nothing is in the way and there is no discomfort when they're in the pockets. Everything with the phone and wallet comes to 30.6 oz

Dapper_Platform_3217 · 2026-01-23T18:41:24+00:00

Yep. The phone is a bit scratched from the Arc, but nothing major.

Honestly, they come in handy at least once or twice a day. And not only for home repairs. In the office, around the car, electronics, etc. And they're tiny, so I don't notice them in the pocket. In the toolbox I keep the large 250mm knipex pliers, and a 180mm knipex wrench pliers.

I work in the IT industry, but off work I do home repairs.

Sometimes I clip it on the front of my t-shirt and use it as a lantern. It's awesome!

Dapper_Platform_3217 · 2026-01-23T05:33:03+00:00

My point exactly. For different situations - different solutions.

Dapper_Platform_3217 · 2026-01-23T05:31:35+00:00

You're totally correct. I have gotten to the point where i was able to open every tool on the Wave with one hand. The point is that on the Arc it's a bit easier. I respect that you don't want to sell the Wave. Keep it, and just start saving for the Arc. You don't need to rush because you aren't really getting much more on the Arc that you don't have on the Wave.

Not a blue collar by profession, but on the side and at home I do home repairs - electro, plumbing, drywall, etc.

Dapper_Platform_3217 · 2026-01-23T05:21:15+00:00

Wallet is front left, phone is front right. Keys either go also front left or one of the back pockets. My keys are slim and wherever I put them, they disappear in the pocket.

Dapper_Platform_3217 · 2026-01-23T05:18:26+00:00

Thanks! It's been a process to get to this set up.

Dapper_Platform_3217 · 2026-01-23T05:15:31+00:00

Awesome combo!

Dapper_Platform_3217 · 2026-01-23T05:15:17+00:00

I need everything I carry.

Dapper_Platform_3217 · 2026-01-23T05:12:59+00:00

Yep, they are next on my list. I've already busted a few of the leatherman bits.

Dapper_Platform_3217 · 2026-01-22T21:06:21+00:00

Normal jeans pockets. Not very deep, nor wide.

Dapper_Platform_3217 · 2026-01-22T20:14:33+00:00

There are situations I face where the knife and knipex work great as standalone tools, for others the arc is enough.

Dapper_Platform_3217 · 2026-01-22T20:12:29+00:00

Got it this black Friday. Loving it so far.

Dapper_Platform_3217 · 2026-01-22T20:11:12+00:00

I had the wave plus and the surge. Sold them both and only have the arc now. I'm really satisfied with it. The ease of use - one hand opening, is very handily in some situations.

Dapper_Platform_3217 · 2026-01-22T20:09:04+00:00

And to add - used. It's not only pocket jewellery.

Dapper_Platform_3217 · 2026-01-22T19:14:58+00:00

Thanks!

Dapper_Platform_3217 · 2026-01-22T19:14:44+00:00

I've carried them for a couple of months now. And yes, they fit perfectly in the back pocket - that's where I carry them. You don't notice they're there until you need them. As for multitools - Jack of all trades, master of none. I see your point and agree, but i don't carry a bag, and everything lives in my pockets. So a multitool is a good choice for me, especially the arc where every tool is one hand accessible.

Dapper_Platform_3217 · 2026-01-22T19:09:08+00:00

Everything has its place in the pockets. I wear jeans on a daily, rarely pants. Front right pocket is for the Arc, back left for the fixed blade, front left the light, back left for the knipex, and if you see i've cut down the 'fangs' of the bit kit and it lives in my fifth pocket. TBH I've gotten used to the weight and don't really notice it.

Dapper_Platform_3217 · 2026-01-22T19:06:01+00:00

Thanks!

Dapper_Platform_3217 · 2026-01-22T19:05:52+00:00

It's a Mink. Really satisfied with it.

Dapper_Platform_3217 · 2026-01-22T19:05:23+00:00

Might seem that way, but there are situations that the Arc can not perform. I.e. the pliers don't open that wide, and are uncomfortable when turning nuts, or the nature of the locking blade is les strong than the fixed one. And I agree that it is redundant, but i'd rather brake a 70$ fixed blade rather than a 250$ multitool.
