What is your go to EDC?

Mine is my Leatherman Charge tti and Buck 110 or my Vanguard.

Leatherman looks like it has come in handy !!

I’ll get my pics tomr.

+1 leatherman Charge TTI

Yeah I love my Ti leatherman. Mine looks slightly different though:

Nice leathermans ….. This is quickly turning into a “Leatherman thread”

i bought my first one in 1989 … Still have it. I have to dig it out and get a pic ….

following this now !!

EDC for me is a bunch of stuff. At work I carry a lot, and I use it all every day. Leatherman Wave with their bit kit and extension, Victorinox SwissTool, a knife, a razor knife, keys, flashlight, etc.. Outside of work I always have a knife and the Leatherman Wave. Knife depends on mood, lately it’s been a Hinderer clone and a Decepticon 1 clone.

Supertool 300.

And my Trimble S6. As many miles as I’ve walked with that thing on my back it might as well be my EDC.

Trimble? Is that for gps mapping? I know they made some of the first automatic guidance systems for tractors and still make them for case and old tractors. 

I don’t have any leatherman, carry fastbacks of any variety though, lately the compact utility

I have both and they both have there place. Seems when ever I go out I’ll grab the leatherman and when I’m just around I’ll have the fastback box knife. For work I always carried the leatherman. Now days it spends more time in the bullpen. Lol.

Or is that DGPS?

At least that’s what my uncle uses to map out a field for drainage tile. Impressive stuff

.

It’s funny because during the work week, I have my Gerber EAB Lite because it’s so slim and compact and can swap out the blade with your regular Stanley razor blades. Then on the weekends I always have my buck 110 because I usually need more than a razor blade and love the buck for its classic look and feel and heft.

That particular unit is a conventional (optical/EDM) robotic total station, GPGuess doesnt  have the tight vertical (elevation) tolerance needed for staking sewer and curb (you dont want to try and make poop run uphill!). Plus, keeping initialization in the city and under trees is somewhat problematic. I have used a bunch of Trimble GPS gear, mainly staking a power transmission line in SoCal. Current GPS gear is Leica… Fantastic gear, but they can’t write software to save their lives.

Intrestingly, if you are a complete survey nerd, i suppose, the machine control GPS (controlling elevations on Cats/graders ect. operates on a different frequency than surveying stuff.

This is my EDC, I don’t have a leatherman, just a cheap multi tool from Walmart. A kershaw knife, a lighter (I DON’T SMOKE!) Thrunight Ti2, and a tactical pen..

My first knife was a Buck that my grandpa bought me against the express wishes of my parents at 8 years old. I Have been a die-hard fan since.

Here is pocket dump for today, but you can bet that I’ll have a flashlight, a pocketknife (Benchmade mini griptilian or Spyderco delica) and a mini prybar (griffin or gerber shard) on me everyday

Man, I miss my Spyderco Delica, a victim to busting through super dense chemise chaparral in San Diego County…. Man that job was tough on gear… I’d shred a pair of Danners in 6-8 months, survey vests every six months, a couple of pocket knives and a couple of the side clip Leatherman multitools lost to the brush, two flip phones wasted by me sweating like crazy when hauling my fat ass out of canyons, a Palm Treo and a Blackberry to the brush, dozens of mechanical pencils, scribes, pocket scales, and erasers until I started buying vests with Velcro covers over the pockets…

It’s funny how we keep being gluttons for punishment and then the light bulb goes on! Normally followed by my wife saying…I told you so.

Followed by me slapping myself in the head and saying….yeah yeah yeah

Funny… Yeah, just like that, only different. LOL

I just gave up on getting new vests from the home office and bought my own. When they sent me one that was half neoprene when I’m working in the SoCal desert… No thanks.

It’s neat how the smallest of tools can get you out of a pinch. I have been on the look out for a perfect excuse screw driver. I looked at all the ones that wera and wiha and other name brands had to offer. But I came across the perfect one at Lowes. Metal and heavy duty and a decent price. I find a use for it every day now that I have it. So here is my edc.

I also have my Cobras and utility knife in the pouch alone with a lock and tape

I have a dewalt version of that although I think it’s discontinued.  It’s gotten me out of some really tough situations not to mention saving me from hammering on screwdrivers.

Yeah if it’s tough enough for a nail setter then I don’t think I will tear it up. 

My favorite:

Kershaw 1920

I really like that Kershaw. I have two of them around the house. Very useful multi tool and a really good knife, but still inexpensive enough to abuse.

Exactly.

Easy on the wallet, great steel, nice build quality.

I keep a Lansky blade medic in my tool bag, I sharpened my old SOG several times a week. The Kershaw gets a tune up every week or two.

For $35, you won’t find a better option.
