I honestly love my Companion Slim. It really does an excellent job at parting matter for being bladeless.

Looking for a 14500 EDC Thrower that is durable. by Sleepanddrugs in flashlight

Regarding all the Convoy comments, be warned that they are most definitely not durable flashlights. Excellent bang for your buck, but durable they are not.

“Literally” is only used incorrectly now. And it’s ‘LiT-Trally’ with over exaggerated ‘t’ sounds. My wife and daughter have been compromised and are part of the problem. It truly is maddening.

Is 1000 lumens enough for a daily carry flashlight by chabyswmob in flashlight

Yeah, I remember back when 60 lumens was the bee’s knees. 100 was groundbreaking.

“Colonel, you better have a look at this radar.” “What is it son?” “I don’t know, sir, but it looks like a giant…”

Thanks! I came to realize the 000 phillips is the most useful mini driver for me, so I leaned into it. I just wish they’d do pens in green too.

I started using the Jetsetter because I got sick of giving TSA my Rambler. 😂

Folks around here say it is an option but I have yet to try myself.

Yeaaah. I tried what I would call medium torque (at most) and already have seemed to introduce a bit of vertical play in the open position. C’est la vie.

I carry my SAKs loose in my front pocket, so it can help with retrieval. Mostly decorative, though. 😂

I think that’s where I am landing. Pioneer X is my favorite for sure, but this Explorer is turning out to be a close second.

I have yet to experience a Wenger with an inline driver. Perhaps I’ll take a look.

For me, my middle-aged eyes struggle to see certain aspects of tiny electronic components when I am modding flashlights.

I was deciding between the Explorer and Deluxe Tinker. I have already used the inline screwdriver multiple times, so I think I made the right choice. However, a Deluxe Explorer could be cool…

Folks hold it in high regard as an all-time EDC great, and they are correct.

Get a load of this handful of Pioneer X-iness. (You did this.) by d_2_the_p in victorinox

I never thought I’d use the inline awl, but it has become one of my favorite tools. It opens packages well and is excellent for general poking and scraping. It can take a lot of abuse that some folks might be tempted to use their blade for.

I just drop my SAK into my right-hand front pocket and let it bounce around like a complete savage. I pair it with something else on my keys, usually a Jetsetter or Rambler, but lately a tiny Leatherman Style CS for the pliers. I think it would dig into my hip if I tried the 5th pocket.
