I know. I guess I've just had bad experiences with it going into my foot when I had to get stitches there. :cringe:

I use Harbor Freight blades in mine. I use it constantly. It works, flick of the wrist and it's deployed. Works for me, and cutting my hand. (Healed now, but I had to have it glued back together. They would have stitched it back together, but I went pale when they mentioned novocaine injections into my hand.)

Harbor Freight, I love that place. That was my very first job and I have some stories from that place lol. Where else can you get a toolbox for like $20?

That pinky looks weird - like it's trying to get away from the other fingers.

I agree, almost looks broken in the picture. It was just the angle I took the picture at.

I got my TechKeys wire puller, and I was always losing my keypuller, so I added this to my keyring today...

CPTBadAss · « **Reply #208 on:** Thu, 07 February 2013, 16:14:34 »

Tsangan, what money clip is that? And do you like it? I prefer money clips and small wallets.

tsangan · « **Reply #209 on:** Thu, 07 February 2013, 16:25:29 »

Louis Vuitton leather magnetic bill clip

"This magnetic closure clip can hold up to 30 bills. Its natural cowhide leather is discreetly stamped with the LV initials." SKU M64692

I had this for over 10 years now I think, the leather has completely patina now but I think it still looks great, the magnet makes it so even if you have like 5 bills it will still hold it tight unlike other money clips, also if you have a lot of bills it won't stretch it

SmallFry · « **Reply #210 on:** Thu, 07 February 2013, 16:28:57 »

Oof. That hits the wallet hard. $275 for a money clip is quite a bit.

Whoa..I don't know if I'm ready to spring for LV stuff lol. That's awesome though.

That's what I was thinking lol. Real LV stuff not cheap

tsangan · « **Reply #212 on:** Thu, 07 February 2013, 16:36:37 »

it was more when I got it, or maybe just Canadian pricing, iirc it was around $350, but after 10 years of usage it only $35/year and it's still going strong!

I've had other money clips in between as gifts or me impulse buying but none of them is as good as this one

I really enjoyed the Links of London gigantic paper clip design money clip but it can't hold a lot of bills or it will stretch it ;<

Maybe I'll just wait for someone to give it to me as a gift....a bit much for me

Ok so back to my keychain...
I thought it was too long etc so... I had some fun with my bandsaw and what drill press to make it a bit more keys-friendly.

alaricljs · « **Reply #216 on:** Thu, 07 February 2013, 22:03:06 »

All this time I had been ignoring this thread thinking it was in regard to guns... lol.

I carry my keys, phones, and a Rolfs leather billfold that has nothing but plastic in it. I don't even remember how old it is. I only carry cash when I will be hitting tolls.

Bandsaws make everything better. EVERYTHING. And here's more proof.

A little bit unrelated but this is what I normally carry on me when I go to see concerts. I see them quite frequently so i guess it's EMC (Every Month Carry)? And by frequently, I mean I saw 13 last year. And went to one tonight.

Earplugs are ESSENTIAL. Got some Hearos brand reusable ones from Guitar center. And then I attached them to one of those eyeglasses cords so that I could keep 'em around my neck and not lose them.

Figured I would go ahead and post what was in my pockets. This is my typical carry when not at work or school. The watch changes frequently though, thats just what was on today.

thanks for taking a picture of your keys. Can you get me a picture of your ID badge? or do you not need one to get in where you work?

on a more serious note, why in the world do you have a knife and a strap cutter?

What's wrong with carrying a knife? I use mine to open things all the time.

theres nothing wrong with carrying a knife. I often carry one myself. What I cant understand is why carry a knife AND a strap cutter. Is it so that in your panic of trying to take off your seatbelt you forget that knives cut... I just dont get it. Whats the point?

Ohh, I see what you mean now. I agree. Seems overly cumbersome and redundant.

I strongly suspect that people go overboard with EDC threads. Do people really carry that much crap around everywhere they go?

Maybe college students do? Either way, it's still a lot of crap.

Unfortunately for me I do. I work 9-5 so I take my laptop and study materials in so I can use the boardroom for a study space, my house is far too busy to get anything productive done most days. Maybe one weekend a month I get away with not carrying it.

EDIT: Luckily it all fits pretty snugly into a Crumpler Considerable Embarrassment!

Depends what you do and how mobile you need to be during the day. If you are a plumber, your EDC will probably need to fit in the back of a truck.

Dont be ****ty. I ask because I genuinely want to learn. Since you dont like questions I will ask you some. What are forums for if not for the discussion of ideas? What is wrong with asking "why do you find that item useful?" in a thread dedicated to "these items are so useful that I cannot function without them"?

demik · « **Reply #247 on:** Mon, 25 November 2013, 10:15:04 »

You want to learn his badge ID? For what purpose? You're NOT going to clone it like how you're NOT going to copy his keys? Aside from the blades there was nothing about "wanting to learn" in your reply. And even that was said in a judging manner.
