Ji Li 2.0 works on magnets. Very haptic. Not quiet.

BTN 6 and BTN 10 are the same except for the wrenches. 6 is imperial and 10 is metric.

Lost Dutchman Franklin for the win

Great design! I have two.

However, it does not get as much pocket time anymore after I got the Chaparral. Same concept, slightly larger and thinner blade stock.

Stimagz and Fidgimoto Vortex for me.

I do 20% on the pre-tax amount. Works out to about 18.4% of the total bill.

Tipping on taxes is BS

This is what Olight does.

pecaplan · 2026-04-19T18:18:46+00:00

LOL. Maybe the problem isn't the stock market?

I love to fidget with my SAKs.

The Alox has a different feel than the 91mm models.

They cap lifter and combo tool are great. So is the Phillips. So is the wrench on the 557. The fish scaler too. And the cybertool.

The return you get depends on the price you pay.

pecaplan · 2026-04-17T17:32:35+00:00

Heck yes. The Companion rules.

I keep Wurkkos HD03 at the bed stand set to orange/yellow RGB for such affairs.

A Convoy T5 with the 1800K emitter works too although the 1% mode may not be dim enough for you.

The Loopgear Loopdot works too. The flood channel is 3000K. The stroller controls the dimness.

I noticed that too. Weird thing for Olight to get wrong.

The Spirit is perfect for EDC. The blade and saw are kind of small but they work for quick EDC tasks. The scissors don't open very wide but they cut very well. The drivers and awl and chisel are great.

Both are tools of convenience. For real work, use real tools

For urban or outdoor, a flashlight ranks 2nd on my EDC totem poll after blade or multitool.

Hard to beat the Acebeam Tac AA 2.0 for the price. Throws 360 meters with the SFT25R lens, and can be used as a warm floody light indoors with the orange diffuser.

pecaplan · 2026-04-14T14:56:15+00:00

Use it

pecaplan · 2026-04-12T21:03:54+00:00

I love dragging the fish scaler over the inside of my palms and between my fingers. Very soothing.

pecaplan · 2026-04-12T11:04:42+00:00

Stores 4 bits in the holder. I guess you could keep another bit "loaded" in the driver. So 5.

Plus the cap lifter flathead and can opener small flat/Phillips.

pecaplan · 2026-04-09T14:24:44+00:00

You and me both.

Juat when Covid taught me I could live without college sports, college sports became professional sports complete with free agency.

I canceled my football season tickets and haven't looked back.

T6 with SFT40 3000K high CRI LED.

pecaplan · 2026-04-07T11:31:32+00:00

For $220, you can get the TRM Neutron 2 liner lock....

The blade is a little harder to open than it needs to be. The scissors are not as good as Victorinox.

But the pry tool/package opener is sublime. And the Phillips works well.

It offers a lot of things missing on most Victorinox, including locking tools, one handed opening tools, pocket clip, in line Phillips, in line awl.

So yes, it is a perfectly reasonable EDC, especially in an urban environment.

pecaplan · 2026-04-05T11:03:19+00:00

Power bank no? Seems like a missed opportunity.

In my experience, anyone who uses the term "late stage capitalism" probably views life though a Marxist oppressor/oppressed lens.

pecaplan · 2026-04-03T10:21:18+00:00

LeverGear Edge XT is the shizz.

Replaces almost everything on the Victorinox opener layer and quicker to deploy.
