That Dpnao multitool is super interesting and I'd love more videos on these budget multitools with innovative design features. I already got the Nextool Flagship Mini on your recommendation (which I now carry everywhere) and would love to hear more about the options in this space.
Civivi really knocked it out of the park with both the Voltaic and Cachet. I like frame locks with inset scales like that more than exposed frame locks. Less chance of putting pressure on the lock bar while you manipulate the knife. I have examples of both myself and may need to try and pick up a few more. Lol
Like that in bag organizer. I could really use a tool roll. Really like waxed canvas. Like the black. A little more stealthy if you left it on the floor of your car.
That multitool is very creative, I like the design features. When you have the type of adjustable wrench it is more approachable than a set of pliers... I also think you picked out some nice folders. Thank you
Great review! Thanks In defense of Nitecore EDC33, I want to say that this flashlight is a great compromise. Yes, it has built-in battery and is heating up a lot pretty fast, but there is no ideal flashlight on a market. EDC33 functionality is really versatile - it has really good potential as a light for everyday use and great potential for tactical application. I guess with EDC use everything is understandable, talking about tactical function - what do you need in self-defense flashlight? Good balance between lumens and candela, single button on the back to control every mode, simple User Interface and desirable to have a blocking system not to burn your pocket or a bag. So, this Nitecore model has everything mentioned above, output is actually even an overkill to blind someone, highest 2000 Lumens mode would be more than enough, but it is what it is. However the question for how long you need your highest output to blind someone - I’d say 1 second or less, so you don’t have to use brightest modes on constant. Essentially self-defense with flashlight means to to have a possibility to momentarily turn on and off a light in the eyes of a threat, and repeat it when the person’s sight is restored. When you blind someone you either hit the threat as hard as you can or try to retreat, or firstly hit and than retreat. So the heating up problem is not actually a problem, however there is one more cool feature I noticed - in addition to all functionality I mentioned above, what makes this flashlight really convenient in self-defense situation is that you can use your main modes at the same time with highest output. For example, let’s imagine the situation when there is nearly a pitch dark around, you use EDC33 on 70 Lumens mode to see the the road in front of you. If someone try to attack, you have instant access to 4000 or 1700 Lumens to absolutely blind the person, however when you release the button you instantly have your 70 Lumens back and can control where your threat is, you don’t need to switch between modes and stay in the dark not knowing exactly where the person who wanted to attack you is right now. Everything is fast and efficient. And again to blind a person whose eyes have already get used to dark environment, you need just a flash, I guess less than a second. Considering everything what I said, in my opinion Nitecore EDC33 is one the most interesting, inexpensive and versatile flashlight on the market right now, especially taking into account a size of it - it incredibly compact, like Olight Warrior 3 Mini but a lot more efficient.
That slim multi tool looks like a great first effort. The fit of the bit holder is a letdown, but definitely recommend that you keep looking at these budget newbies.
OH! I like that Lochby tool roll!!! I'll need to see if i can get some very specific measurements, but if it works, that would be a PERFECT carrier for a set of emergency ostomy bag supplies!!! I'm *ALWAYS* looking for easy ways to tote around a spare poopbag setup in case of a minor medical emergency!
I might have to try to snag one of those wood handled civivi's. That's a beautiful knife! Been carrying my Kershaw leek for a couple years now so its time to change up.
Not related to this video, but I had to say that my olight customer service saga actually ended in my receiving my order (w00t!) and I am blown away by the Baton 4 design, features, and quality. Also the Opry 2 Ti is very slick. It makes me want to give an olight folding knife a try even though I’m really happy with my Pro-tech Malibu.
I always appreciate good quality edc organizer pouches. I’ll probably order that one from roaring fire soon. Already have their tool roll as well as two or three products from Lochby. Both very good companies!
$250 is a little too much for me for a knife. Especially when I have gotten great knives for under $60. My favorite is my Petrified Fish Grow with red gmascus scales, a titanium pocket clip, super sharp. I have a couple of Civivi knives. Very nice. Elementum button lock is my favorite.
if you dont keep the dogfish could i have it haha. Im a poor college student so its hard to buy knives but love seeing peoples reaction to the dogfish so i hope to buy one eventually
"That flashlight is too bright" come on lol, you use whatever modes you need, sometimes you might need 100000 lumens for 0.01 second, sometimes you might need 1 lumen for months, there's no point in blaming manufacturer for giving you too many options.
@@maxlvledc it does posses an injury risk like any other flashlight with the same output, I just don't think that lowering it's brightness levels would've made it any better, especially considering the competition from sofirn and such brands in the "regular" brightness flashlight market.
@@pikemaster20 Safer = better, no? It was his suggestion, there's place for regular EDC flashlights but there are people who need something more, and I personally would actually disagree that it gets much safer than this because this light has both heat detection and physical lockout switch. It'll just get hot much quicker than bigger lights, obviously.
Certainly from a Tactical POV, the light is bordering on being the spec-buster. On the flip side, if one were to use it as an EDC light as it should be, the momentary 4000lumens is quite handy. As a technological trendsetter, it has a ton of merits. The fact that it’s has a genuine hybrid beam (flood and spot) is something I really appreciate. I wouldn’t dock points because it can get too hot. I can wager that most lights that output 3000+ lumens get to more than 150F. That said I’m not sure I need more than 2000/3000 lumens on a burst flood. The difference in the usability of 2000 vs 4000 is actually quite insignificant in real life
Have you tried out the new electronic paper stuff lately? I've tried a few versions of it a long time ago, but it was eh. The writing was good, but the part where you upload it to the computer was bad because it wouldn't pick up all of the pen strokes. Wasn't sure if it's improved recently.
Yes please continue exploring new budget multi tools
I really like that you explore budget multitool options, keep it up please.
That Dpnao multitool is super interesting and I'd love more videos on these budget multitools with innovative design features. I already got the Nextool Flagship Mini on your recommendation (which I now carry everywhere) and would love to hear more about the options in this space.
Keep giving the little brands love. Big companies are killing creativity.
Spyderco Smock compression button lock works almost exactly like that Vostead “top liner lock.”
That Dpnao is pretty cool. Especially for that price. Like seeing the more unusual multi tools.
Glad you like the dogfish! Love seeing the design get into people's hands!
It's a flashlight handwarmer duo!
Budget tool brands are important even if just to push the bigger brands to innovate, they deserve coverage.
Love that dogfish. It’s on the list!
The adjustable wrench is ingenious as it collapses into a narrow space. I found that Nextool has a similar design and ordered it.
Civivi really knocked it out of the park with both the Voltaic and Cachet. I like frame locks with inset scales like that more than exposed frame locks. Less chance of putting pressure on the lock bar while you manipulate the knife. I have examples of both myself and may need to try and pick up a few more. Lol

Yes, please keep exploring the weird multi-tools.
I want that dogfish! Knives looking knife
Arent hank lights known for being roasters!?
The unusual tools are my favorite to see
I like the flatness of the Dpnao tool....Interesting design........I wish the blade and screw drivers were locking....

yes please on the budget reviews.

I must say the dpnao Multitool Wrench look interesting, if it works. I like budget tools for travel EDC kits.

Keep in mind they are made by kizer..that's why they are so good.

unusual multis for sure!

Great stuff as always
nice assortment Dominic
I really like red and black gmascus or topo or whatever they call it, LOL, scales.
Dpnao at $20 seems a bit rich for the build quality; it would be a buy at around $14.
Got mine for 12 so that seems about right
Great things
Any idea when that sweeeet roaring fire edc pouch will be available
As them interwebs have no information
That bag with thr two sides would have the same problem as with usb a plugs. That you have to flip it 3 times to get it to fit right
Which of these pouches would fit your phone comfortably? (S23 Ultra)
Is the EDC33 better than the 27? I have the 27 and kinda let down.
if you dont keep the dogfish could i have it haha. Im a poor college student so its hard to buy knives but love seeing peoples reaction to the dogfish so i hope to buy one eventually
Is the uni pen available on Amazon?
Why don’t we see deep carry titanium pocket clips? It seems like the more premium knives with the titanium clips always have the non deep carry style.
We do...in wire clips..otherwise you have to mill it...good luck with that!
Whatever happened to senrenmu? I never. See people talk about them in a long time.
they make knives for TONS of people: Ruike, Boker, Real Steel, etc
I’ve been very interested in the Tohler Union, but haven’t seen a review by anyone I trust. It would be cool if you checked it out
Did...not good
@@maxlvledc thanks I just found the video

What was the pen? I can't hear it clearly. 🙁
pen?? timestamp?
@@maxlvledc it's OK.... Got it now. Thx
What have Nitecore done? Gone from beautiful flashlights like MH12S ,P10i ect, now theyve gone this and the MH12 Pro ect, ugly.
Yo what’s happening 😊
Noooot much 😉
Bump

I've tried it all..nothing is quite like pen and paper
