THIS video! This video was responsible for sending me down the rabbit hole of tiny tools months ago and then I couldn't find it again! :D Seriously though, the economy of space is awesome.
I own 8 pair of Knipex and I don't know why everyone doesn't own them, they're incredible!
I love this man! I bought this whole entire set up. This hopefully replaces my leather man set up. I do apartment maintenance and this will work perfect for me. I love the video man!
Sorry for the delay. Thanks!
For an even more compact screwdriver setup, buy that Wera handle and get the Leatherman flat bit sets. They fit in the 1/4” driver just fine.
Nice! I’ll have both & I’ll check it out. Thanks!
I've heard the LM bits are made from soft steel and not really very good. Plus if you lose one you can't replace it without buying an entire new set. For that kind of money you can buy proper 1/4 inch bit sets made by Wera, Wiha, or Bosch which are better quality
Does the Wiha double end bits fit the Wera handle? I would stick with the same branded Wiha handle, but theirs is way too long for EDC.
Great presentation on a nice kit! Those Knipex pliers are really good tools.
Thanks man!
I like your set. You made several choices based on your need and not so much based on what is currently in.
Lot of capability in that Knipex kit, thanks
Great idea! I might make a few tweaks for industrial maintenance. Love the size.
It wanted to make this vid to get others to make a kit w/their own “flavor” of tools. Always better ideas out there & I want to see & learn
I was maintenance machinist . I still carry a chums surf wallet with 4 pockets and tools I used every day . My kit is a bit different so hopefully y'all get a good laugh . The first pocket is Craftsman 1/4 bit ratchet , knipex Cobra XS pliers and rite in rain pokka pen in safety orange. Next pocket is a tin with hole set of metric Allen bits Milwaukee impact brand and torx , Phillips 1 2 3. All Milwaukee . #2 Roberson torx 25 . Large flat to 3/16 flat . Square hook blade razor blade. 2" extension and 1/4 to 1/4 socket adapter and adapter 1/4 to 3/8 and 5/16 nut driver and 4" crescent wrench. 3 pocket has a small pry tool cheap one and set finger nail clippers good for metal splinters , ear plugs and lanyard for safety glasses. Small emery cloth (wet& dry sand paper). Small nail for contactors . Two spare razor blades micro fiber cloth for safety glasses . Small brush with narrow nylon bristles. It's gun brush cut in half with 4 piece of cheaper form of rite in rain paper from home Depot . there is I'd window I have business card in it if I lose the kit ..next in my pocket is Milwaukee 6-1 razor knife with screwdriver I have had it a year and love it . Carry a streamlight stylus pro penlight and Kershaw blur in my other pocket .
Perfect set up!
Thanks! (I bit late & thanks for watching ; ) Have a good day!
That’s a good all round set up man real nice 👌🏼 subbed
Sorry for delay! Thanks for the all around kind words!
Wicked sweet, I didn't realize wera had a smaller screwdriver with the rapid adaptor. Gonna have to pick it up Thanks!
The Wera small rapid driver is my go to. You’ll love it. Thanks for watching
Great video! Very good setup! Well thought out!
Thanks!
I have a very similar kit. Yes it was a more expensive venture but it is worth the design and quality of the tools. Used every day and not with light stuff either.
I've been kicking around ditching my leatherman charge for a small pair of knipex and a small bit driver/holder. Thanks for the info and suggestions
I use mini knipex set and Wera 8009 great combo
Great set up👍👏
Thanks!
Nice set up.
Looks like a good set
sweet kit man, gives me good ideas
Solid setup!
Thanks Slab4x4!
Excellent, thank you! Subscribed.
Thanks! It means a lot
Thanks & have a good day!
Good stuff here..thanks
Thanks for watching!
Hi, cool idea with the heat shrink. I have made a very similar kit that I ve been using for a while. I am using the Wera Zyklop Mini 1 Kit , the two XS wrench and pliers, the Olight IXV titanium flash light and the wera 813 bit holder.
Nice!
Merci :))) Je ne connaissais pas votre chaîne, je m'y abonne ! :)
I watch your vids and a subscriber. I enjoy them!
One universal tool that I've stuffed into this very same pouch - it's not quite micro but I find myself using it a lot -
Vampliers Brute, It's got a hardened cutting edge and has already helped me extract many a stripped screw. They make a smaller variant but that one doesn't have the side cutter :(
It sits in the back (Behind the bit set in this case)
Can't you just use the Knipex Cobra pliers? I assume it's not as efficient, but is the Vampliers so good to carry another tool?
@@hobbes3 I have tried using the knipex cobra for these situations but only the brute could get a good enough grip on a majority of them. If you mainly use cap head screws, sure the knipex will work fine. I mostly use flathead and buttonhead
I have a similar set up but more for pocket carry, in different combinations with other gear. The Knipex Cobra XS (the black ones) but not the Knipex Plier Wrench XS which you have (so called as it doesn't have teeth inside the heads so as not to damage nuts/bolts)...I have the Wera 813 - yours is the 813R - which is just like yours but without the extended bit and ring part on it, but instead of a Wiha bitset I use mine with a Wera Bit Check 7 part set - 6 bits and a bit holder which also fits in power tools. So I have effectively 12 different screwdrivers, 6 stubby and 6 with the added bit holder for more reach. The bitset comes in a case but for pocket carry I can put the 813 handle, bit holder, and a couple of bits in my 5th pocket and still have room for a lighter or flashlight. Combined with a Spyderco I've got basically the same toolset as the Leatherman Skeletool but better quality and more options for use i.e. I can use 2 tools at the same time in separate hands. If I'm carrying a bag like going to work (on my bike) I carry more tools in a small pouch including a Leatherman but all small enough to be able to carry in one pocket in various combinations, without any bulges or discomfort. Like you I find carrying a knife plus separate quality tools is more flexible and gives you more capability than a one and done multitool.
Dang! Thanks for sharing!
May I recommend you the 711L micro ratchet wrench? Way better and far more functional than your Wera handle. For flashlight, get the Nitefox K3 mini and glue a magnet to its bottom with double side tape. Do the "next mode memory bug" fix (very easy with just a pencil) and thank me later.
nice idea~!
I was inspired by your EDC kit to make my own. Though I made mine using the larger Knipex pouch with a "fuller"-sized set of bit driver and pliers. My bit driver holds the bits internally so I did not require a separate bit holding solution. In the future I'd like to do a mini XS version like you've done here. It's so addicting ☺
1st: Your kit sounds great!
2nd: Thanks for watching!
3rd: Yes, it’s addicting! ✌️
I am looking for more information on this.
I like to know where you found the pack out I'm looking for any more information on the tools you have where to get them at and how much were they in the past you got
Awesome
Thanks for watching!
I will carry this at work along with a leatherman
You’re reinventing the wheel
In what sense do you mean that? In the sense that there's no need to carry individual tools as a pliers-based multitool was the solution to not doing that? That may have been the case decades ago but it's only within the last few years that such good quality, robust, versatile and compact tools have become available. When you can have better tools in the same form factor and the same weight as a Leatherman, the problem that Leathermans were designed to solve has gone away, and the one fits all multitool has become obsolete or at least superceded.
OPEN THE FRIGGIN' THING!! Jump to 3:15 when he finally opens the thing.
You’re the kid that found out what you got for Christmas, prior of that day, right?! Haha!! I’m long winded & thanks for watching!
@@athomehack7789 No... more like the kid who had every package unwrapped in less than 5 min.
Showing a little gizmo like this filled with all those sexy top-shelf brand names? NOT opening it is torture.
Can you tell me the model number of the pouch please? Great video - thanks.
Ignore the pouch question. I see from an answer below that it is the 00 19 72 XS LE
Don't forget the edc pen. What would you carry?
Sorry for the delay. I normally don’t carry one (I have a couple “bolt lock style” - Flytanium mini edc pen is my fav) for the reason, I don’t actually need to write much now. Thanks for watching!
Well done…
Thanks man!
Great set. But I would suggest you to replace the Olight by something like Lumintop AA Tool 2.0. Magnetic tail and silicon diffuser increase its usability pretty much comparing to Olight, and it's budget friendly. Also you may add some mini ratchet, like VIM HBR3, it's very handy and portable tool.
I’m always surprise when people say “That’s way to expensive” When the phone they’re watching it on cost 3 times as much and will be obsolete in 3 years. Great kit.
I think this set can be make more compact with screwdrivers such as xiaomi 16 in 1, which can store the bits in the handle.
I reckon it depends what jobs you need to do. I looked at those Xiaomi drivers and they look cool but I don't think they're for heavy use, whereas Wera / Wiha drivers & bits are pretty much indestructible - made in Germany vs made in China.
@@simonh6371 Xiaomi was just for an example. I mean this type screwdrivers can more compact.
@@Emrullah_BASER Yep the Xiaomi screwdriver is very nice in fact, I just looked again at it online and it seems in fact to be well made. It caught my attention a few months back when I was looking for pocketable EDC drivers. I think it's just a tiny bit on the large side to fit in a pocket with other gear like a knife, Knipex Cobra XS so maybe not an ideal solution for me but I can see the appeal, especially in a small pouch or bag, or even at home in a drawer or tool kit. As for my pocket solution I found the Wera 78mm 813 handle (not the 813R you see here) is very very small and probably the most robust and well made in that size. There are screwdrivers with bitsets made specifically for EDC, probably the best one which I absolutely love the look of is the Big Idea Design EDS...sleek and compact, made from Titanium, with a pocket clip, the thing is awesome but even an EDC fanatic like me isn't going to pay £128 = $160 = 145 Euros or 3,095 Turkish Lira for it! That's just a bit over the top unless you really need a tiny good quality bit driver which you're going to use every day.
Review starts at about 3:00.
“Long winded….. sometimes, right?!” Thanks for respecting & watching this vid & letting others know when the juicy info starts! Have a good day!
@@athomehack7789 Actually, I found this on a search that only returned 2 results. I thought other people might come through looking for the same info. I'm sure your normal audience loves your standard commentary.
Nice selection of EDC suited to your needs. I carry the wave + with bit extender a rack of 10 double ended Wiha bits and stream light usb. I have quite a few Knipex cobras and plier wrenches but not the xs sizes. The xs pliers wrench would be most useful to me but I’d have to get different holder than the leatherman one. Giving your vid a like 👍
Would that Knipex pouch fit the 7” pliers?
Sorry, 7” will not fit. This pouch is made only for the 4”. (I tried the 6” Cobra Pliers, but still to big)
The Wiha bit box wastes too much space for my taste. Only 6 bits and a holder? What a waste of space in the cool pouch.
Yep, I hear ya, but great quality & you can use them in different applications & w/other products. Thanks for watching!
EDC: Knipex XS Wrench Set + Leather Surge + Fix it Sticks Pro
I’ll check this out. Thanks!
Hi ! Would the fix it sticks pro wrench kit fit inside this small Knipex pouch ?
Thank you for your answer
What’s the product ID of the pouch?
Knipex Belt Pouch XS for Knipex Cobra® XS and Pliers Wrench XS Empty 110 mm 00 19 72 XS LE a.co/d/1NSyDBA
What pouch is that ?
Not sure if you can buy it w/out the tools? (Knipex)
@@athomehack7789 Thank You ..
Check out Skinth Solutions if you want a pouch without velcro. They are a bit pricy, but very well built.
Good video, new subscriber!
I’ll check them out! Thanks for subscribing & I hope you enjoy the nexts
Nice but the two wrenches are $114 on Amazon. Nope.
I also had sticker shock when I learned about Knipex but I swear by them now. The XS ones are more expensive than the next size up and some people prefer the extra size. The best justification is that you can replace metric and standard wrench sets with two pliers.
Wow! Here I can get them (including pouch in a set) for the equivalent of $81. But we get shafted on US branded multitools (even the ones made in China) so it's horses for courses I suppose.
Great video. Good selection of tools. Just need to tell you the K is silent and is pronounced nip x
Thanks for watching! However, it’s actually w/a “K - sound. Here’s a link to the Knipex booth @ a trade show. (Knipex presenter states this)
czcams.com/video/1EdLcerx9Qg/video.html
"dyi" is short for "do your...in-laws?
Nice! I always screw that on up. Especially when I have a couple beers before my vids ; ) Thanks for watching!
DIEZELLE57 is really into birds, the feathered variety. Must be an animal fetish thing. 🦅 😂
He has a different “flavor”, but I like his vids & sometimes, “no talking” is the best. Thanks for watching!
@@athomehack7789 thanks for the amazing video. 👍🏽
Nice video but spending over 200.00 for the kit you put together is a bit extreme.
Yeah, I had half the tools already & splurged. (this is cheaper than some individual knifes I buy….)
I’d disagree. Many people have 1 solid tool that’s $100. Just a Leatherman or a nice knife can quickly get up to $200 alone.
My small waist pack edc has a small tool kit that’s more than double the cost of his kit. I have some of the same tools and some other items.
I know that the age of cheap Chinese garbage leads us to think $200 for a solid little kit you’ll use a lot is nuts. What’s nuts is how much money your average American (myself included sometimes) spends on cheap Chinese garbage that breaks so quickly and never did a great job in the first place.
Quality tools cost more. They should. If nothing else, not using slave labor in Chinese death camps and identifiable steel costs way more.
I hardly disagree. This kit will last AT LEAST one life. Easily multiple generations.
A Leatherman? If it lasts the warranty, you are lucky.
And they both cost the same.
Also do you manage to somehow destroy the wrench? You can buy that and have a new one the same day without any problem, with very few bucks.
Leatherman gets damaged? Good luck on having it before a few weeks.
People really don’t consider this.
The only thing in which a multi tool is better than dedicated tools is the ability to carry it in your pocket. That’s why I strongly dislike the surge for example, even tho it’s more capable than the original super tool or mr crunch, they lost the real reason why Tim Leatherman created them.
They now try to emulate dedicated tools, but will never ever succede in this. They are just a bastardised tool at this point no good in doing either.
I strongly support this kit. I have a very similar one and a Swisstool mx in my pocket everyday (easy to carry)
I think k is silent in knipex.
Don’t worry, many are wrong - it’s “K”/Knipex …. w/a strong “K”. Here’s a link to Knipex’s trade show booth w/Knipex employees stating how to say their name. Thanks for watching!
czcams.com/users/shortsxlAGBk-r8qo?feature=share
No only English has the silent K. Knipex is German.
ker nipex 🤣🤣
That's how it's pronounced. To pronounce it with a silent ''k'' as if it were an English word, is as ridiculous as pronouncing the ''g'' in lasagna as if it were an English word. Or saying ''champagnee'' for champagne.
Man, I need a girlfriend. I watch too many of these sad videos.
Not the best vid, but come on, I’m trying here. ; ) My opinion, make sure you find a lady that is into tools, so you have someone to enjoy your tool watching vids with. Thanks for checking in!
Pronounced “Nipex” ! Silent K!
Wrong. The “K” is NOT silent. Here’s a link to a Knipex employee stating how to pronounce the company name.

FALSCH!!!
You talk too much you need to show and tell not just talk. Unsubscribed
Thanks for checking in. Yep, long winded w/a product(s) you’re interested in, but not @ your speed. Have a good day!
What a joke. Looks like tools you would give a kid.
Thanks for watching. Yep, tools that a kid can hold, let’s see if your kid would do this w/them:
czcams.com/video/waXRzn52bzE/video.html
Little tools (quality) come in handy. Ask any Tradesmen.
Lol your comment is a joke and looks like something a kid would say. Those Knipex pliers are forged and obscenely strong, and you could probably literally rip apart a Leatherman with them. The Wera and Wiha tools are also made in German and will probably be around in perfect working order long after you and I are dead.
Not a fan of the xs pliers I think the 125mm is better and cheaper the xs is more for the aficionados if you ask me.
For EDC it's always a trade-off between utility and size/weight. I mean the 10''/250mm Knipex Cobra is undoubtedly better but I don't want to lug that beast around.
