Leatherman PS4 sheath prototype
Posted at 14:19 on September 13th 2010 in DIY, EDC, Multitools

Yesterday I got an idea for a new kind of sheath for fold-open pliers based multitools. Some sketchup sketches and a duct tape prototype later I had a plan for making a real prototype.

$3.73 Microbit Driver Pen
Posted at 20:27 on September 10th 2010 in EDC

This is a nice little gadget for those who (like me) like microbits more than regular bits. It didn't say in the item description that it was a standard 4mm microbit driver, but it is, and that's awesome!

Streamlight Nano review
Posted at 09:44 on September 10th 2010 in EDC

Got this tiny light to always keep on my neck lanyard with my keys, and it's great. Only 10 lumen rated output, but that is enough for many everyday tasks, and a heck of a lot more than most keychain lights.

Posted at 21:05 on September 8th 2010 in EDC, Multitools

Plans change and I don't need either of the two S4s I ordered anymore. I got the first today, and did a quick video review before I give it away tomorrow.

Some leftover parts from the Squirt P4 turned into something usable just for the sake of it. The video and pictures explains it all

Leatherman Squirt bit and microbit adapters
Posted at 15:33 on September 6th 2010 in DIY, EDC, Multitools

Any multitool should be able to use bits, so of course I had to find a way for my new Squirt PS4 to use them as well.

Victorinox Classic SD + Signature Lite review
Posted at 22:39 on September 4th 2010 in EDC, Multitools

Got a couple of new Victorinox knives, and the first 58mm models I've had. Same tools in both but different scales and different tools in the scales separates them.

Leatherman Squirt PS4 mods + review
Posted at 22:20 on September 4th 2010 in EDC, Multitools

Got my PS4 yesterday, and 30 minutes after I came home with it I fastened the last scree to put it back together after modding it. Now I think it's perfect!

Squirt P4 cutting hook/prybar mod
Posted at 18:56 on September 1st 2010 in EDC, Multitools

Another quick mod - this time just a protoype mod that might be implemented on my PS4 when that arrives. This adds a prybar and cutting hook to the Leatherman Squirt P4. I don't dri

Posted at 17:51 on September 1st 2010 in DIY, EDC, Multitools

Got a few used Swiss Army Knives today, and after disassembling one I ended up trying something for fun and realizing it worked brilliantly - adding the scissors to the Leatherman Wave.

The back story for this post starts yesterday with me seeing a video about pop rivets on YouTube. Fast forward to today, and I have built my first Swiss Army Knife using them.

Leatherman Squirt P4 review
Posted at 01:31 on August 28th 2010 in EDC, Multitools

After spending a couple of weeks in my laptop bag, this little gadget has taken up a temporary position as my EDC tool until my S4 gets here. That makes this the perfect time to review it.

Victorinox SwissCard Lite review
Posted at 22:57 on August 27th 2010 in EDC, Multitools

My issue with a lot of multitools is that they create bulk no matter where I put them. I finally found one that doesn't, and to top it off it has some rather awesome tools.

Gerber Curve review
Posted at 20:32 on August 27th 2010 in EDC, Multitools

I normally don't like Gerber due to the design and (in my opinion) sub-Leatherman quality, but seeing the Gerber Curve on YouTube made me run off to ebay to get one. Tiny multitools seem to be in these days. Victorinox has their Classic which really is a classic by now since it came out in 1935. Wenger of cours

Tiny EDC Pill Container
Posted at 15:31 on August 27th 2010 in EDC

I'm a rather quiet person and don't like noise, in fact I tend to get a headache when there is too much noise and stress around me. The pill container with painkillers I carry in my laptop bag is helpful, but not always with me because of the size. I found one much smaller.

Paracord Water Bottle Sleeve
Posted at 13:36 on August 20th 2010 in DIY, EDC

I wanted a way to attach my water bottle to my bag without having a bottle holder on the bag (like I've had before). I've seen paracord bottle sleeves on Stordrane's blog and decided to give it a try.

DIY Swiss Army Knife Leather Sheath
Posted at 15:22 on August 10th 2010 in DIY, EDC, Multitools

I have worked with most materials, from glass to wood, metal and recently paracord, but one material was still left on my to-do list: leather. I found an old leather sheath in the garage and recycled it.

Swiss Army Knife Wood Scales V2
Posted at 15:21 on August 10th 2010 in DIY, EDC, Multitools

My previous wooden SAK scales were OK, but pine tree isn't exactly the most exotic (or hardest) wood out there. That's why I started looking for some more exotic wood, and I found some.
