I’ve had it for years. I really like the style of it.

@@EarthlingEDC def one of my fave movies as a kid. i just ordered one e05II online in sand color and cool white, thanks to this review. dual fuel feature is a plus for emergencies. nice addition to my s2+ in 18350 mao and ts10 titanium

Thank you for your post. That usually means that the products are sold out or no longer available, so Temu redirects to their home page when that occurs. If you do a search for the product on their website, there is a good chance you will find another seller offering it. Best of luck.

@waveman0 - That would work as well. You can also use electricians tape the same way. Thanks for sharing that.

@benreynolds181 - Interesting. I think the cause is that there is a very limited amount of real estate for them to mount the clip. You might be able to use a deep clip that has a hanger like..www.amazon.com/Acxico-Pocket-Suspension-Hanger-Keychain/dp/B08NYJYW9R

@rebeccasanford8607 - Great suggestion. Thank you for sharing it. You might like to checkout this little Altoids tin organizer that one of our viewers made. You can actually use it without the tin if you like. Go to Thingyverse.com and do a search for "Pocket Rack EDC". One of the designs you will see is specifically for organizing an Altoids tin. Enjoy!

@noktturnal Thanks for your post. I've that the bit kit with the mini screwdriver is great. Thanks for suggesting it.

@paulkresky1465 - It's a fun little project. Take your time making it and it should come out great for you. Enjoy!

@greyshape4247 - Thank you for your post. I sincerely appreciate your feedback.

@bsddept - Thank you for your post. If you want to see how those drawers were added. Take a look at: czcams.com/video/cEyH6WbgmnU/video.html

@criznitty - It's an impressive tool. If you are going to really put some pressure on the handles I would suggest a padded glove or a leather glove as I had used in the video. It will really save your hand. Thanks for your post.

@Incendium87 - You are correct, there is a short nosed version with a curved Jaw. The reason I used the long nose is that that it does not have the curved jaw and will give more contact area for the jigsaw blades when I make the cut along the center of the top and bottom of the jaws. The 4" is very nice on it's own though. Thanks for posting.

@kenhollandjr1251 - Thanks for your post. The tape would definitely work.

Getting a larger tin is a good solution as well

@jefferynordgulen4436 - Many thanks for your feedback. I works great. For more updates on making elastics for EDC checkout czcams.com/video/ZFAsJPWSyP4/video.html Thanks again for posting.

@jimlee3725 Thanks for your post - If you are referring the the modifications to the Vise Grips, they have been around for a long time. I'm not sure it would qualify for a patent. If you are referring to the Pocket Rack design, its an open source design that can be downloaded and printed by anyone for personal use. You just can't sell it. There is also a utility patent pending on the design.

@rbrookstx - Thank you for your post. The Knipex XS is a great little tool. For the size and weight it's amazing what you can accomplish with it. When you combine those pliers with a good bit driver, you can get a great deal done. Enjoy them!

@aussiehardwood6196 Thank you for your post. I think you have a good point, but in my experience using both of them quite a bit, I've found that there is a great deal of shared utility. As an example, I can use both of them them to tighten and loosen bolts. As shown in the video the design of the Knipex minimizes the grip tension required to keep it from slipping. The Vise Grips accomplish this by locking onto the bolt or nut. Both have the capability of accomplishing the same task, they just do it differently. Where it gets interesting for me is that I want to only carry one of them in my mini kit, so determining what additional benefits each one offers and how that enhances it as a daily use tool will decide which one to carry. Thank you for you for bringing this point up.

@kelvinyong1728 - Thanks for your post. That is why I have the two lightning adapters for the battery bank. They allow me to charge other items as well as my iPhone. It was quite difficult finding those adapters.

@deletefundz - I'm so tempted to put the "Prune Bandit" prompt into an AI image generator and see what it makes of it :-)

@shakashey - Thanks for your post - That is the first iteration of the design that we were playing around with is early 2023, Since then it has evolved quite a bit. Take a look at czcams.com/video/uiX9I7hPnvk/video.html It can actually be pretty comfortable if you use just one side of the rack for storing EDC. Where it really shines is when it is used as a mini pouch organizer or just throw it into a back pack or waist pouch as is.

@lordtrini - Thanks for your post - Ranger bands are a great solution.

See: docs.google.com/document/u/1/d/1jyF0pdbYvUMNRZPPoFy4edKykfbYujnGFVC9gTDtahI/mobilebasic

@LightPlaysMC - Thanks for your post. The Steinwhale bits are definitely on my list of future purchases. I've heard good things about them and I'd like to see if their bit extender will work with the double sided WiHa bits (which I use now).

@TeamC4dotcom Thank you for your post - For the Rack featured in this video, the dimensions are 111.8mm X 71.8mm X 2mm You can also just download the 3D STL file from Thingyverse.com . Just do a search for "Pocket Rack EDC" on Thingyverse. There are also other designs there that have been created by the community. Enjoy!

@@EarthlingEDC thank you, sir. I'm going to try and design it for my laser since my 3D printer is in machinery heaven.

@billclancy4913 - Thanks for your post. These also have that capability, you just need to be VERY careful when grinding down the flat side of the wire cutter surface. I would use a a thin hand file to do this rather than what I featured in the video.

@sazeus Thanks for your post I did not grind it off, but I did have to grind it down a bit so that the pliers would close all the way. You just need to be VERY careful when grinding down the flat side of the wire cutter surface. I would use a thin hand file to do this rather than what I featured in the video.

@ruzzellp - Thank you ! I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts about this video.

@vexor7 - Thanks for posting. What's the exact length of the regular mini vise grips. I've noticed that they are pretty loose with how they measure their length and am wondering what it actually is. In regard to the 125mm Cobra, several viewers have mentioned how much they like them. I might just get a pair to see how they work.

Thank you for your post. I believe that you are correct. Thanks for bringing that to everyone's attention.

@cal1776 - Thanks for your post. I just took a look at the Harbor Freight 4" locking pliers and they look very similar in design to the no brand locking pliers that I bent in the testing. The Vise grips use a different mechanism in the grip/handle used to release and lock the pliers. I might head over to Harbor Freight to actually compare the two. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

@@EarthlingEDC Breman, is the house brand I believe. I was wandering why you cut down the needle nose instead of using the regular nose?

@@cal1776 Another good question :-) I wanted the relatively flat jaws of the needles nose which will give more contact points when using the saw blades. The pliers on the regular 4" are curved making the slit that I would need to cut into the upper and the lower jaws a bit more complex. Also the long nose gives me the option to size the tool so that is fits perfectly on the organizer. Thanks for the follow -up question.

@Edward_ZS Thanks for asking. Checkout the pouch video that we posted a few weeks ago. Look in the description for that video for links to the pouches that were featured. I think it's item #12 in the PDF for that video, but there are some other interesting mini pouch options you might want to check out as well. Enjoy!

@Tym-mf4of That's interesting since he's a British actor who who normally speaks with a British accent but uses an American accent for that character. :-)

@johnacord6224 - Yeah, it's kind of odd, but if you want to see how it's done, take a look at: czcams.com/video/cEyH6WbgmnU/video.html Thanks for posting!

@AD-dc6qd Thanks for taking the time to post. It's a pretty easy mod to make with the right tools. Some of our viewers are suggesting other tools that can be cut down to size. Might be a subject for a future video. Glad you are enjoying the video!

PLA, but I'm going to be trying other plastics as well.

@tratajueteru177 - Thank you. I appreciate the feedback.

@richh5392 Thanks for your post. Both of them did very well at grabbing and holding the 1/2" connector on the torque wrench I could see the T-Rex going up to maybe 3/4". The Knipex would go a bit further. The ability to clamp and hold small objects with the vise grips is also interesting. I think it really comes down to see how each of these will fit into your EDC.

@SebastianSynn18252 - Thanks for your post. I actually did an entire video about setting up the drawers. If you are interested, take a look at: czcams.com/video/cEyH6WbgmnU/video.html Enjoy!

​@@EarthlingEDCThanks. This is a great design. I use one for a pocket survival kit. Now I can add some items that I couldn't fit.

@cgolf100 - That would be a pretty easy mod to make if you have a Dremel type of tool for cutting and grinding. Might make a good video for your channel. Thanks for posting

@NashRathbone Glad you like it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts about it.

@thewatcher7211 - Thanks. I sincerely appreciate your feedback.
