All the full-size tools in the 30-drawer tool chest sitting in your garage won’t do a thing for you if you can’t carry it with you. How many times have you needed a tool for quick task but don’t have it on you? Perhaps you could’ve used a screwdriver to tighten down a screw or a pair of scissors to snip off a random loose thread. Life is unpredictable; you never know what tool you’ll need throughout your day. If we could only carry around out tool chests with us everywhere we went. Thanks to multi-tools, in a manner of speaking, we could.
Those who live the EDC lifestyle understand that limited carrying capacity requires us to make choices. The type of tools that one chooses to carry on them are dependent on a variety of factors including one’s line of work, lifestyle and environment, just to name a few.
