One thing that I've noticed is that a common problem with EDC tools is their lack of leverage. I think a tool like a Getaway Driver would be much improved if it would incorporate a 1/4" hex ratchet driver for those nice bits, either that or a detachable t-bar. The model for this would be some of the small biking maintenance tools out there which are designed to specific needs for graduated torque. Bits for these come in a far greater variety than just flathead, Phillips, and torx. One of the most useful is a set of Allen key bits. Extra bits add weight, but they take up relatively little bulk. My own EDC tool set fits in a soft, stretchy Ray Ban sunglasses case 6 1/2" long by 2 1/2" diameter, and contains a small hex socket set, an extensive array of hex bits, adapters, and DIY saw blades and files. It weighs about 3 lbs. One thing that I have done is to use JB Weld or Epoxy Putty to manufacture tools that extend the range of the non-ratcheting 1/4" hex driver on many such multi tools. For example, I carry an adapter that converts 1/4 " hex to 1/4 square. This gives you the opportunity to carry very useful hex bolt sockets. And hex bolt sockets can be easily modified with Epoxy putty into collars for other small tools like saws or files. You just fill in the socket and push the tool down into it. Then let the putty harden. Such collars are not just permanent, they are damn near unbreakable because of the compression force of the socket steel on the tool. An arrangement like this gets you far longer handles on tools, like the file, that really benefit from them. I also find that the tiny 1/4" hex hole on flat multitools gives far too little purchase on bits or sockets. So I carry a 3" vice grip open jaw pliers instead. The pliers can be easily and reliably locked onto hex fittings and bits, and set so they are ready to go in the exact 1/4" opening. This gives exceptional compound leverage (with the lock) without needing to be held in a tight squeezing grip. Hope this is useful.

Who needs a knife to stab or cut when anyone can carry a No2 Pencil and a metal clipboard? Minds tuned to situational awareness are much sharper than a honed edge. Don't be offensive, be prepared. Very good video, as usual. Thanks for sharing.

I've never even considered a "non-permissive" EDC before I saw this. Interesting take on the EDC approach. By taking the edges out of it you're able to focus more on what you've decided to carry and why. I've seen some EDCs that are a flashlight, wallet, watch and three to four edged implements. To that's too much, keep it simple is the best approach for me. Your video on an EDC that excludes edges is a good way to begin. Thanks.

I find its good to keep a "No Weapons" EDC kited up and ready to go in my car so I can swap items in parking lot when needed. With the bit holder removed form the Getaway Driver the socket it sits in works well with Leatherman's double ended flat bits from the bit kit too. For those wanting a plier type multi tool for non permissive environments SwissTech Micro ES. It has pliers, 4screwdrivers wire cutters/crimper and a bottle opener. Watch out online cause some other models have an awl/pilot drill that will get it confiscated. Wally's hides them in the auto accessories. Also Kobalt brand from lowes makes one of those stamped 1pc card tools that doesn't have any cutting edges on it. They also make a small 5in "wonder bar" pry bar with 3 wrenches and a bottle opener, again no sharp edge but NOT TSA safe cause of its size. Reason to carry Eat'n'Tool; Because if you eat on the road enough eventualy you will find a piece of razor sharp plastic ware that wasn't made right and slices up your mouth. More than once and you too will start carrying your own utensil. Yes I am that unlucky with KFC Sporks.

A steel or titanium money clip can be used as a screw driver. A good non-tactical pen is the Zebra F-701. It is a one-handed 'click' style model. The Get-A-Way driver is a solid piece of gear. However, check the fasteners when you get it. Mine were so lose one fell out in my pocket the first time I carried it.

OOPs, you are wrong on the Money Clip ! You want the Money Clip to be heavy and with one ten or twenty US dollar bill (mugging money) and a few one dollar bills ! Then you can through the Money Clip one way and RUN the other way (to safety) ! In 2016 will have to travel by air through some airports and will need an EDC friendly set up ! Maybe a Maxpedition 15" laptop computer bag with soft Level IIIA armor. For a Fire Kit: a Pencil Sharpener and Fresnel Lens. Also have the Maxpedition Space Pen and the Zebra F-701 pen converted with the Fisher Space Pen Refill to a nice space pen ! Also the Fenix PD32 or the Olight S20R LED light (reviewed by Nutnfancy) is the correct size and power to blind an attacker and give the target the old one, two with the Tactical Pen... The Maxpedition pen is designed to break side window (or other things) of a car or buss to evade the zombies ! Any pen that takes a Fisher Space Pen Refill ! The pen is mightier than the sword ! tjl

The most effective EDC is situational awareness. Why these "tactical" companies don't make this 100% clear is so aggravating. I get it, you want to sell as many useless gadgets as possible but for God sake, make it clear that these items don't help at all if you end up dead from being oblivious to what's going on around you. Another great use for a led flashlight is using it to blind your attacker.

Gerber now makes a mp600 with no knife. It's not tsa approved, but most rent a cops will let it through... most. Another option is a Boker cera neck knife. Again, not anywhere with a body scanner. If you remove the metal ball chain and sheath grommets... No metal. A sub compact, ceramic fixed blade might not be the best, but it's an option. Another is a credit card knife hidden in a wallet. It's unlikely to be seen and in a emergency, something's better then nothing. These are all assuming you'll take the risk of being caught. If tiss us your job, and your could be fired, your call. Otherwise, the tactical pen is by far the best option, imo. Maybe a anal striking object, like those keychain defense tools? I've never tried one so dunno.

First of all, I enjoy your videos, but I'll disagree with you on the the money clip being pointless. First off all, keeping your money separate from your ID and credit cards can be a good idea. If you are robbed, the criminal will ask for your money and if you give him the clip, he won't get your ID and credit cards. Also, if this does occur, you can toss the money a away from you, providing an opportunity to defend or escape. You couldn't toss a wade of money far, but you can if it's in a money clip! Just a thought. And distraction to a would-be assailant is a good thing, IMHO.

just going to add this here as i live in Boston which has kinda meh laws seeing we can carry almost any knife but not guns. All of these items that are "Tactical" and sold as such will fry you in court unless you have a good lawyer so most important should be have a fucking lawyer ready and have money to pay said lawyer. because if you have to use anything you're most likely getting fucked. so to wrap up carry everywhere regardless because if you arent doing the wrong thing you're all set and if you have to use it and youre in a communist state youre probably going to get in just as much trouble for the pen as a knife of even an ice pick...
