We’ve all been there before. Needing a certain tool to perform a quick task but coming up short. Maybe you could’ve used a flathead screwdriver to cinch down a loose screw or a pair of pliers to help tighten a loose widget you just happened to come across. Because you never know what life will throw at you, it’s hard to anticipate just which tools you’ll need on a daily basis. It’s not like you can carry a hardware store around, could you?
Choosing which tools one carries on a daily basis is a major decision that people, especially those in tune with the EDC lifestyle, have to make. The type of tools that one chooses is dependent on many factors including one’s line of work, lifestyle, daily requirements and the available carry space, just to name a few.
