I love your homemade blade storage solution! I will be using this for my set up moving forward!

Great video, no bullsh*t, no ego trip, down to earth and well presented. Great job. Marius

I'm a Facilities Coordinator at a Hospital and that is a very well thought out kit. Thanks for sharing 👍

What a tidy little kit! Thanks for sharing.

Great compact EDC pack for a wide coverage of different situations! Very cool indeed.

A real engineer would've given the dimensions in millimeters.

This is by far the greatest kit I've ever seen, amazing utilisation of space.

A very thorough job and great kit !

really love the bit holder you printed. great setup!

Love the patch and the EDC pouch is nice

You just inspired me to set up my own EDC for Engineers, I often carry too much with me, although I always need the same bits and stuff.

Well organized. Nice kit.

Good job on kit. Nice holders for saw blades.

Now, I’m not an engineer so this kit is a bit overkill for my needs but I still love how well everything plays together in here. I can tell you really thought long and hard about what you’ll actually need and kept it to the essentials. Top notch.

Very helpful look inside your kit. Thanks.

Nice set, well done.

Beautifully appointed. Well done.

Useful kit. The basics is that if it works well for you, then that is what it really matters.

Nice kit!

i like the idea of using normal commercial saw blades into leatherman. This was very inspirational.

I’m a biomedical engineer who works for a hospital and I have to say that’s a nice little set up you have there !

Mechanical engineering student here, I always got a full socket and pipe case in the back of my veteran car... So got all these things and more decently handy... As long as I use my car at least... A small swiss knife on the keychain I find to be handy for smaller tasks when got no other tools...

Wow! Very nice pouch with many good tools!

Legit the most common sense practical kit I’ve seen so far, no lifestraws, no firesteels, no vicegrips, just stuff people actually use

Well constructed kit!

I have worked in an oil refinery for almost twenty years. I have never seen an engineer carry a tool before

Very impressive. I have been thinking of how to make my own personal Surge carry pouch but for hip carry. Great video.

Nice setup! 🤘🏻

Thx for the video, very good items.

This is the most practical set of edc that would fulfill my needs that I have see in a while. I'm in construction supervision and I find when I am getting around site it is the little tools for small jobs the guys don't always have on hand. I'm stealing your idea for blade storage. Cheers

Absolutely awesome 👏🏻

Sweet kit my dude, I feel like you could fix just about anything with it. Love your diy blade storage, when I get my surge I'm gonna have to steal that idea lol

Very nice kit. I really like the printed socket holder and the cardboard saw scabbard. But you probably only need 2 saws - the wood one in the Leatherman and the longer metallic one. You can switch out one of the others for an emory board and a small file/round file I think. I'd add a small amount of thin/strong cordage. And a magnet (numerous trouble-shooting benefits). a small amount of wire for repairs, a little heat shrink tuning and a bic lighter. Your Olight is great --- but do you need so much size and power? Switch to a smaller one. Perhaps you can add a pin vise and some micro drill bits with the regained volume? Some clips or forceps to use as a microvise? If anything, you may have too many bits -- you have a lot of bits! I would also switch your tweezers for a non-magnetic brass pair, add a small wooden pusher tool (like those used in manicure or whittle a chopstick) because its nice to have something dielectric too. And a small tube of cyanoacrylate glue. Maybe a little sugru? These are just ideas because your EDC kit has inspired me. Overall an excellent job!

Thank you for sharing. I want to get an edc tool, and I would like to see how others have their set up.

Didn't know the Leatherman Surge took standard Jigsaw blades. That really adds functionality.

I put together a EDC pouch but mine has 2 compartments. It's more for bicycle, Motorcycle, home repairs or for simple away from home. 1 side has guaze pads, medical tape, bandais, and hand wipes, that can be used for cleaning out cuts, or cleaning a dirty tool, to store it back in the tool side of the pouch. The tool side has, 5inch Knipex cobra, 6inch Knipex pliers wrench, Milwaukee fastback 6 in 1utility knife, 24 double sided Wiha bits, leatherman extension, leatherman ratchet extension, ACEBEAM Pokelit AA, Olight Open mini, and a Knifeless Rebar, with Bit adapter. I have a Olight IR2 Pro and a Victorinox Rambler on a locking carabiner at all times on my belt lupe. I am always getting cuts or blisters that bleed, or a callous comes off or cracks from plumbing or all the jack of all trade side jobs I do, that I always carried bandages in my wallet, but instead of just 1 bandage, I can now carry a few, plus tape, and cleaning wipes, to help decrease infections. 1 cut was really red last year and it had to be cut open and stitched last year, so now I carry this. Plus I always have tools on me, when I go to look at a property, but I normally have a tool bag and sometimes power tools on me, depending on the job. About a month ago, I was able to help someone crying outside, because a plumber turned the house water off. The bathroom facet had bad shut off valves and they were leaking. The faucet needed to be replaced as well. Her quote was ridiculously high. I ran to the store with her to get some shut off valves and replaced the valves and turned her water on. She was so happy. I just gave her my number and she gave me a hug and I continued on my bicycle ride. The tools I had in my EDC pouch helped her. That's why I carry it in my backpack that I have a water bag thing with a straw in it. I know that I didn't fix her entire issue, but she was able to wash her dishes, use her shower, wash clothes, and everything else that she was talking about that she could do. I never got a call to come do the work but she said that she was in between jobs, so, I might still get the call to make some money to replace the facet. The shutoff valves were easy and it was payment enough, to see her so happy. I fixed a few things at my Aunts house as well. I never understood why people carried EDC, until now. It all started with a Victorinox SD classic, on my Keychain, to cut shrink wrapped pallets open and taped boxes open at work. I was a over the road semi driver, and that knife was amazing. I upgraded to the Victorinox Rambler, then carried a Olight IR2 Pro. I am hooked now. 😅

Hi Willem, thank you so much for this video. Finally someone with sense. If there is just one thing I would add, it is the indispensable FERM SGM 1006 gas soldering gun / blow torch / McGuyver-tool. Or is it just because everyone I know calls me if "something's wrong with my radio" but I use it at least once a week to solder wires or even brazing of copper plumbing.

Excellent, thank you. Subscribed!

Add fusible links- heat and solder type connectors- a selection of O rings- a lighter or flame and duct tape or gorilla tape

Mooi setje❤

I got a Leatherman ratchet driver and stopped carrying the small ratchet. I carry a Vaughn 140mm 5 1/2 inch pry bar, a few minutes with a file sharpens the tips very well it allows you to get a bite better with the tool you can scrape with it and it makes a nice door chock to keep doors open

A small, inexpensive pry bar can fit in your bag and be useful in real world situations. I carry one in my pocket. Good luck in your engineering career.

Very good set! On my opinion only lighter is missing, but maybe you just have it in your pocket))) I'm always keeping a semitransparent Clipper in a similar tool kit. And of course I recently added to my kit the Leatherman ratchet extender.

I like it, i am an engineer myself but stay at the office most of the time

I liked the the video, I liked the kit....

Can you possibly make a list with links to everything? I’m a part time house worker and mechanic and your setup seems to be the best one out of all I have seen

Well done.

You need a Knipex Cobra mini to have the best edc kit. Nice video

What size sockets did you put in there and if i may ask why did you choose them

I really apreciate you share this practical edc, as an engineer I'm tired of looking for useful edc tools and always find those paranoid guys showing their Anti-nuclearwar stuff. Great kit.

Very nice and useful kit. I would add/change some stuff... But just for personal preferences. I'm waiting for the update to get the scheme for the bit holder! Have you recorded already?

I Like the Engineers precise measurement.

Just calm down man. Nice video👍

After nearly a year I don't know if you'll read this but, another great patch might be: "I am descended from 5,000 generations of tool-using primates. Also, I went to college and stuff." Sean Michael Ragan' Sean is not me, by the way. But no circular slide rule? Seriously, I think the tools you have included are very well thought out. Thank you for sharing it.

I watch these EDC videos, and it''s always stuff you can just buy. This was the first one where I saw some home made solutions. Fantastic! 2 Suggestions I would have for you is 1: get rid of those tweezers you have and get an actual set of them 2: Add in some needles. You can but them between some duct tape pieces so they don't get lost and don't poke you I REALLY liked those saw blades and the sheath you made for them

Can you put perhaps amazon or product links to the items in the video description? So it will help others looking for similar items for our EDC kits.

I'm a bit jealous of your 3D printed socket holder. However, I have the same basic kit only I use hex drivers for my sockets and they came with their own holder that while much different from yours, suffices enough for now

Great kit. Could you share your 3D design regarding the bits? Also asking for information regarding the microbits. Thank you

Congratulations on your upcoming Graduation and welcome to Engineering. I am an Aeronautical & Marine Engineer. I too am finishing up my second masters in a two weeks. Really enjoyed your EDC Tool kit! Which Engineering are you reading? Warm regards from the UK. -DP

Where does the multimeter go?

love the set up and how neat everything is. what are the other saw blades? like can u show them in another vid and do u carry the leatherman diamond file?

Great vid. Can you please post the links to the items inside the pouch, including the velcro sticker? Thanks...

I hate all the survivalist and combat BS that people put in their EDC kits. I used to carry a Leatherman Skeletool with me because all I wanted was a good solid pair of pliers, a bit driver, and a knife. It's a fantastic tool, however; I ended up having to toss it and re-buy it several times because whenever I traveled, they would make me get rid of it. Even when I drove to New York, security at the Statue of Liberty ferry tour made me toss my pocket knife. Now, what I want is a solid pair of pliers, a bit driver, and a *utility knife* so I can just toss the cheap blade if I forget. The saw blade attachment on the Surge is awesome! I also wish the Skeletool had replaceable wire cutters, though I wouldn't carry replacements. I'd just replace them as they wore out. I can't imagine many situations where I'd *need* to replace a blade right that moment. I feel like EDC is a game of diminishing returns. Knives are super useful almost daily. Usually a utility knife will do. Pliers are almost but not quite as useful as knives. A medium sized Philips-head screw driver is quite useful. A flat head is also quite nice. Tweezers? OK. Scissors? I've never run into a situation where a dinky pair of scissors was that much better than a knife. A simple first-aid kit is nice, I keep one in my car, but most of the other stuff is excessive as EDC. You really need a socket wrench with an assortment of sockets every day? You really need multiple lengths and types of saw blades every day? You really need a full set of 1/4" hex bits and another set of 4mm hex bits? You don't need to carry spare set of wire cutter blades, just replace them as needed. If you're going to go through a pair of wire cutter blades in situ, then you'll probably want a bespoke tool. I'd swap some of that out with a tube of super-glue, a bit of para-cord, a small spool of wire, and maybe a pen and note pad.

I am an engineer and this is a very useful setup! I need to make one like this.

I love that bit/socket holder. About the sockets - I see you included sizes from 5mm - 12mm. There are nine sockets in total, so I'm interested in which sizes you chose, since at least one of them must be a half size. Also, have you found these sizes to cover most of your needs in the field? I have found that 13mm seems to be one of the more common sizes I have encountered, but I suppose it all depends on the field in which you work.

Me gusta mucho el pouch . muy completo, capaz falta algun paracord, encededor, algun alambre para emergencias, me gusta mucho, gracias por el video.

I'm also an engineer. You can 0ut those tweezers in the Leatherman surge, where the pocket clip would go

pretty cool

this is it, awesome

PERRRRFECTION !!!!!!!!!!

Great review, I am all about weight so don't like carrying 2 or 3 of everything, the multi-tools always pack a punch in the weight department and a lot of that is unnecessary, but that is only my own EDC preferences, we are all different and have different likes and goals.

Cool setup. Learn to pick locks and add lockpick to your set (shim, tension wrench and couple of picks). imho dealing with locks gracefully is an essential skill for an engineer, you cant always carry a blot cuter or grinder...

The SOG Powerlock is a better multitool for engineers. It's more versatile, can be used in more configurations and is more adaptable and customisable than the Leatherman, and it has compound leverage. It also connects to standard 1/4" hex screwdriver bits and 1/4" square drive sockets easily. It also does not rely on springs to operate as the Leatherman design does, which is a weakness in my opinion. I was an IT engineer until a few years ago and have tried many multitools over the years, including Leatherman, Gerber, SOG and others. The SOG Powerlock is definitely the best. I have no connection to SOG tools other than being a happy customer.

The only thing I’d add are the security star bits other than that it’s le perfecto!👌🏼

Where did you get that patch?? Been scouring the internet looking for the same one!

Awesome kit the only thing i would add is a lighter

nice share..

Great kit! Which tool do you use to exchange the wire cutteres if needed?

You are a well prepare person, real engineer. Not many people out there who work as engineer wants to do these effort like you've done for this, especially for 3D printed shock bit holder & hand made saw bit holder. I like your very consise & versatile tool set that can handle many situations.

Need to add 100 or 125mm Cobra pliers.

How can I get this patch! I‘m a Diplom Ingenieur!

1. Where did you get that rachet 2. Where did you get that socket holder 3. List the blades you have

Ah engineers. Alwas mesure things for no reason. Gotta love em

Do you have the cad file for the Hex socket 3d print?Can you leave it in the description

Hello. Nice EDC set. Share the 3D model of the head holder.

Nice!

i need a way to store/carry and keep sorted a bunch of 4mm bits. i love my fixit kit, but it takes up a tonne of needless space in the bottom of my purse. i need a near full set of security torx, plus two game bit and some triwing bits from my kit or another kit that has them and its been very hard, all the good solutions seem to be for 1/4 inch or double-ended bits

Do you have the files / specs for the socket holder? I've been looking for something like this, but haven't had any luck.

Add some safety pins, a curved needle, a magnifying glass a dental pic tool and mirror... I also carry a scalpel, hemostats and dental floss as my EDC doubles as a surgical kit...

I'm willing to put together an EDC kit like this. How much yours weights?

Where do you buy all that?????😮

Have you ever extracted a screw with that setup ?

Perfect! What kind of engineer are you? Mechanical?

Where can I get that Velcro patch for my tech pouch? I’m a stagehand & audio engineer and would love to have it on there.

pick/hook, magnet

I would like to ask you about what is the watch brand you use?

Thanks for sharing. What’s the brand and model for this pouch?

Do you have the 3d print files for the organizer by any chance?

1. Consider a Swiss Army style knife, I like the Victorinox Compact. Has a small pen, tweezers and toothpick, a parcel hook, corkscrew with mini screwdriver (mini-nail file), scissors, combo can/bottle opener, and blade. Also has a small sewing needle I use as a sim tool or reset button pusher. 2. A proper small plier like Knipex. I like the 87 series. 3. Small prybar with nail puller.
