Product Sourcing:
When it comes to sourcing a product for review, I will usually either purchase and item personally or reach out to a supplier requesting a sample for review. Many suppliers are supportive if they are confident in their product, appreciating the value of greater exposure.
I am sometimes sent a product by a supplier which I may include if the product fits planned content and I believe will be of interest to you, my audience. The product needs to be worthy of a review and I always make it clear to the supplier that they cannot influence or be involved in the content in any way. It is not in my interest to review inferior or poor quality products and therefore as you might expect many product offers are politely declined.
Any sponsored videos (paid for reviews) are clearly stated as such so there can be no misunderstanding.
Sometimes a supplier will provide a link to the product or the supplier which I am happy to include in the description. Sometimes I will be provided with an affiliate link so I can earn a commission on sales and this helps to support channel costs but never at the expense of an honest review. There is no cost to you and in some cases discounts can be obtained via the link or via an included code.
If a product I have reviewed is available from Amazon I will often include an Amazon link in the description. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. If you purchase a product or service with the links that I provide I may receive a small commission. There is no additional charge to you.
Replying to Comments:
I really appreciate the feedback in the comments - I find it a source of knowledge and inspiration. I have recently found that if I continue to respond to all the comments as the number of videos builds, it takes significant time away from being able to produce new content which would be very counter productive! So my aim is to read everything I can and reply when I can, after each video goes live for the first few hours at least, and beyond that when possible. I'll see how that works out 😊
Please consider subscribing and being notified to keep up to date with new video releases.

The man from Hull won this one Jon..... the plastic bottle let you down.
Your expertise is obviously out of his league ... so , make sure u win the next one mate ...
I'd like to see a challenge in which each of you needs to put together a kit for the other person to carry for a week.
Jon for the WIN!
This contest is a lot closer than last year's. I greatly prefer this format, where there was mutual respect for the choices and no one attempted to insult or disparage the choices of the other. Great content and great gear as always!
Great feedback - thanks for that 👍
Sir I agree with this comment on every level. I enjoy your content.. and yes still very jealous of your gold wave +
I liked this format but i also liked the banter from last year. I would suggest upping the budget a little (150$ US?) and say 90$ limit between multitool and Torch) and the balance on the rest?
Always trust someone wearing an IRON MAIDEN shirt; they obviously know quality.
Really? 🤣
Up the Irons!🤘🏻
But they're English so....
Jon has no music taste at all
LOL 😃@@JonGadget
I think I speak for everyone when I say we want more of these!!!
Watching this video, I noticed there is mutual respect for each other compared to the last budget video. I must admit the last video had an edge of sauciness between both of you which seemed to work. It was entertainment vs a straight review. Now as we know Jon does an excellent job of reviewing, but every now and again a little comedic interaction between you and Jamie is.....well fun to watch. On a side note, I used to work in a NYC rock club and saw Iron Maiden many times. Great gear choices from both you .
Thanks for the great feedback 👍
If Jamie has even a single card in the front of his wallet, it will cover the pull tab for the main sleeve.
I've had the crazy horse wallet for around two years now and it's great, I keep a fisher space pen and the spyderco grasshopper in the larger pouch/compartment and it ages amazingly 💪🏼
Good to know!
Glad to see Sofirn getting some representation on the channel. I have one of their lanterns for camping. it's compact, but has dozens of features and brightness modes. I can even set color temperature as well as brightness.
Jon, you never cease to amaze me with the items you find and put into your EDC kits and the very sound logical explination and justification for your choices! Keep up the good work!
Thank you 🙏
Thanks for doing a great research on budget EDC gear. It is always fun watching you two doing a battle with a twinkle. My favorites have been Jamie's pouch and Jon's flashlight. Well done, both of you, two thumbs up 🙂
Thanks for watching!
Jamie's take on things is always fun. I love it when he pops up on here. Rustic is my thing so I'm drawn to Jon's choice of wallet. The flashlights are too close to choose so I'd buy both and use them interchangeably. I have to go with Jamie's multitool; the scissors are what tipped the scales for me. I see the benefits of both mystery items but can't make a choice since, for me, neither one would have a place in my EDC. To both of you - Brilliant job! I hope to see more of these head-to-head videos.
Thanks for the great feedback Linda 👍
I call you both winners for finding gear under the budget! I like Jon's flashlight for EDC carry because of its size, but prefer Jamie's wallet for its slimness. Good choices by both.
I also appreciate the non-confrontational approach, well done. Torches MUST have 1lm mode so Jamie. Crappy scissors vs no flat screwdriver-at least you could re-profile the silly nail file to a screwdriver so Jamie again. I love the screwdriver but the bottle is also excellent so Jamie by a hair. Jamie's wallet is a little too dressy for me so Jon. Overall I give the day to Jamie by a much smaller margin than last year. Overall winner-the viewers. Thanks
I really enjoy watching you two together, Jon. Your tandem makes everything even more enjoyable to watch. Great video as always, Jon. My regards to Jamie.
I love these head to head showdowns. Both have their places and their points both good and bad.
This is great! gives an opportunity as well to those small up-and-coming brands to be showcased to the people. Not a lot of EDC content creators would bat an eye on these things and would rather spend x100 the amount for fidget stuff. Liked that practicality is always the main focused on each video! Good stuff Jon (and Jamie).
*_The wallet:_* Jon's wallet looks better. I like the little DIY element to it. But in terms of something that you're going to carry in your pocket... Way too bulky. It's 5(!!!) layers of leather thick, and that's before you even put something in it. Jamie's wallet is just way slicker and more practical. I'll give this one to Jamie with the caveat that Jon's wallet is pretty nice.
*_The torch:_* I like the headlight... but it's of limited use. There were one or two times when I could have used a headtorch, but got along without one just fine. So Jamie wins this one again.
*_The multitool:_* I'd disqualify both of you since both tools have locking blades which means they're not suitable for EDC. But that's just an UK thing, so let's skip over it. While the Wave is definitely a tried and tested design, I am a bit apprehensive given the provenance of Jon's pick. From the paracord test it's clear that the tool looks like a Wave but functions nothing like it. Also, it's going to be pretty heavy, I bet. So, sorry Jon, this one narrowly goes to Jamie on the basis of "that doesn't look very reliable".
*_Mystery item:_* A very expensive weird looking bottle? Not for me. Jamie's screwdriver wins hands down.
Sorry Jon...
That's OK - can't argue with your logic
Couldn't agree with you more 😁
18650 flashlight is a huge win
The screwdriver is awesome as well...one thing you didn't touch on is the back turn BUT that makes it also easier to screw/un-screw something
Also the snap wallet is awesome
Doing Jon vs Jamie on different budgets would be a very interesting video idea. It also gives good exposure to varied EDC gear which is also nice. Awesome video
I have the full set of memobottles both in plastic and metal and love them, I recommend getting the sleeve for it.
Hey! I’ve been using that crazy horse wallet for years! I tell people about it all the time! Glad you got to check it out. It’s a beautiful and functional wallet.
So entertaining! I choose last year's Jon's wallet, fantastic, fits all. Thank you both of you for the show (last year and this year), hope to see more ;)
Love seeing two friends battle it out, an still respect each other. The cheap Travel Lambo wallet is also a great wallet!
Two Go Go Gadget's rocking it out together. 👍👍
Great as usual ! The screwdriver is impressive and functional !!! You are both very close, you both have useful items, at a good price. The water bottle is interesting and the Swiss Tech at this price is amazing. Great choices !
BEST ONE YET!!! it was very difficult to choose but I ended up choosing Jon’s because I would actually use his wallet more since I feel like I could get stuff out of it easier and the flashlight in my opinion is less bulky, great quality, has more use ability, and I love the charging aspect of it plus you can have a AA for a back up, fantastic for random emergency events. Lastly the bottle I would actually carry it over the screw driver but I am going to get the screw driver because it looks amazing. James won on the multi tool for sure and I can vouch for the roxon I carry the m3 and it’s my favorite all in all great work guys.
I have two sofirn flashlights. Both batteries crapped out after a few charges. Luckily, replacement rechargeable CR123A batteries are quite cheap even from the major quality brands. With proper batteries Sofirn flashlights are great value.
Another fantastic review. Thank you😊
I really like the little brother of the Roxon you showed. The smaller one has scissors as the only middle tool, but it has a toothpick, tweezers, and a pop out eyeglass screwdriver. It also has the bit kit. And it’s $20. I really like it.
Cool stuff as always. I had to immediately buy the Hoto Screwdriver Set via your link. I loved the look of that and can't wait to add it to my Maxpedition Mini EDC kit. Very neat and super practical looking little screwdriver set, plus it's as cheap as chips. Thanks for that.
Great choice from Jamie there 👍
Love these videos the banter is fantastic.
I love these battles! Keep 'em coming!
I liked all of the gear except for the drinking bottle. I like flat drinking bottles as well, for the reasons that you stated. I have bought several stainless hip flasks of varying sizes for around $5 to $8 NZD. So I can take whichever one I think I will need or take 2 if I need more water. They fit really well in a flat sling and don't seem to leak. I have also found out recently that they are great for little kids to drink out of as the water doesn't pour out too fast.
Great contest again you two. Both great to watch. I enjoyed this one as much as the last one. I find that the purchases are very surpirsing and you two must have put in a lot of time and effort into sourcing them as Amazon can often be a minefield of stuff.
Really enjoy them and look forward to many more to come.
I prefer Jamie's choices, and actually I just ordered that Roxon and the screwdriver kit. Good show guys!!
Easy win for Jamie for me. His screwdriver set is fantastic, I ordered one immediately. I also prefer his wallet, I have one very similar and already have a Roxon M2. Incidentally it’s very easy to make the Roxon UK legal by breaking the end of the liner lock off. The blade still works fine without a lock.
Great battle. Loved the choices. Fun to watch the two of you together.
I love both wallets. To carry on the tradition of letting John know that he's not allowed to carry a proper wallet, I just want to chime in and say that the Crazy Horse is, technically, a "bindle."
I'm wondering, could the card holder actually fit in 9ne of the bindle's pocket folds? Seems like a marriage made in organization heaven!
Love this series. Can't wait till next one.
Who won??
Short answer: Jon
Long answer:
Wallet: Jon
Light: Jon (lots of experience with both and the TS32 has issues turning on accidentally)
Multitool:Jon (not a Fan of the M2 personally)
Wild card: honestly like both...but I have 3x hoto drivers and love them.
😊👍
Ok a tough call, but I think Jon has it. And the water bottle doubles as a flask, and a hood whisky or bourbon is a great morale booster. I do like the multitool and the folding wallet. Good job guys!
Great stuff!
Great to see a Sofirn flashlight, got myself quite a few of those, also like Wurkkos a lot (they are somewhat related). Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching!
I love the video. Y’all picked great products with out them being too similar. And giving the viewer different options and with different use cases.
Excellent contest. To be honest, i believe i will have to watch it once more before i can cast my vote. This is a very close contest! Well done gentlemen!! Thank you!
"If you worry about RFID protection in a wallet"?? - That should be a must imo
Entertaining video as always! I also like an overall budget vs a per item budget.
Really enjoyed this video, as I always enjoy all the other videos you put out.
Had a good laugh when the Memobottle was placed on the table. 😂
I actually bought 2 in that A6 model, and get the same reaction whenever I say how much it costs.
Nevertheless, the Memobottle is a great ice breaker and conversation topic as I always take into meetings as it goes flush in my hand with a notebook / agenda, and creates less bulk in a pouch, backpack or cargo pants pocket.
See you in the next video.
Keep well.
Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹. 😉
i ordered the crazy horse craft wallet and i love it. thanks for the recommendation!
I've got the A6 memo and it is great, fits perfectly in a sling or in the backpocket.
Kinda hard to deep clean, so make sure you rinse it regularly so it doesn't get dirty.
I bought a water pouch instead - fits inside my little handbag or really anywhere (even a big jacket pocket) - has 0.5l - and no problems keeping it clean.
The one I got is Hydropak Stow - which has an internal lid - so nothing from outside can go back. And it's only 20€ 😇🤗
Jon went over budget. There was a bit of some funny math there! Thanks for showcasing some cool gear though.
These videos are always a ton of fun to watch. I like having options!! Have you ever talked about your time pieces? I've seen you with a Rolex subby, but I may have missed you talking about the black one that's on your wrist in most videos. A Watch video maybe?
I’ve had a Sofrin SCH-35 Pro for a few years. I’ve paid a lot more for other lights, but always come back to the Sofrin.
It's a tough pick this time. I think Jamie's wallet would be preferred and the screwdriver is very appealing I think I'd take Jon's light and the bottle is very appealing. I just generally can't pick a multitool at this price range they all feel a bit too cheap. I think either save up for something a bit better or just go without a pocket multitool in the budget range.
I've got to go with Jon, I should carry water more than I do and that bottle could make tt easier to do, but the compactness and versatility oi the light, the great wallet, and better multitool than the alternative made it a clean sweep for me.
I don’t think I can actually pick a winner this year!! For wallets, I would chose Jon’s, loved both flashlights, Jamie wins the multitool, and I own both of the mystery items and love them as well! Well played to the both of you and great video as always!!
everything in jons but i have the smaller roxon multi and love it but wish i had bought the bigger one with the pliers as well. thanks boys keep up the good work. i have purchased a coupke things based on your reccomendations and have yet to be let down.
Jaime's pick of HOTO screwdrive & his Sofirn flash light were very good picks also. Hope to see more of these type of videos.
🍻Jon's, although it was 50/50 with the unusual and useful flat bottle tipping the scales for me. Jamie's wallet over Jon's, but Jon's flashlight over Jamie's, etc.
I really love the vapor bottle. it's $10 and rolls up into a tiny footprint. may be better than the flat one. it's like an adult washable caparison bottle. I use it while walking or working out because nothing can beat the compactness.
New to the Channel. Really enjoyed the video, the products, the banter...all around very nice. And ive already put in a order for the Acebeam torch. I liked it. And had I not just gotten a nice little "tactical" (that's what it says on the box..lol) I'd definitely give that 2nd wallet a go. Its a very clever design I think.
50/50! Jon's water bottle and flashlight, Jamie's wallet and multi-tool!
Every single item showcased is worth considering. That's a great video and a tough competition!
I have a problem with the A6 bottle. As it is meant to go in your bag, smooth plastic is not a good choice in my opinion. If you fill it with cold water, vapor will condensate on it, and your gear will get wet. Well, it's a problem for me at least, here 30°C is too common and humidity is 60% and above 🥵
I think I would go with Jamie's picks except for the wallet. I like Jon's wallet more, kinda unique. And I think you could slip in a small flashlight or knife/multi-tool inside. Not sure though but you could update us, Jon? But the multi-tool, specially the flashlight, the award goes to Jamie. That SC32 is a great flashlight IMHO. Never tried anything from Roxon but if the scissors cuts that good then it's a YES for me.
Hope you could feature something from NEXTORCH and NEXTOOL in your future episodes, Jon. Love watching you two together.
Manila says HI.
Jon, just finished with the IF23...it's one of the best lights I've ever seen!
Really enjoyed your EDC Budget Showdown 2023, Jon and Jamie!
As always - entertaining and informative.
There are many items that you presented that I want to research further; and I appreciate that you both were fair in evaluating the items for their Pros & Cons.
Frankly, I felt that you both were winners on this one.
Jon's Crazy Horse Wallet lacks RFID for credit cards, but I see that it has potential for several other EDC carry options.
Liking the Sofirn SC32 over the ACEBEAM H16 (for EDC due to increased lumens & size).
ACEBEAM is compact and versatile with the headlamp option (but I'm not liking the lower lumen nor the only orange color option for the headband - black or some other subtle color would be more preferable).
Multi-tools presented were a bit of a tie (in terms of Pros & Cons).
Mystery items were both hits and worthy of further research for purchase.
Thanks & Cheers to you both!
Great feedback - thank you
Jamie with wallet and mystery item. Jon with flashlight and multi-tool. Tie! Cheers 👐
Great!
I bought the HOTO screwdriver last year. It’s ok. Too slick to hold on to. So I put some heat shrink tubing around it. And don’t dare drop it. The magnets are not strong enough to keep it together and the bits will go everywhere!!! Overall not a bad precision screwdriver. I also found the IFixit bits fit much tighter in the HOTO screwdriver
wallet: i love both. sleek vs rugged. torch: jamie. multitool: john. mystery: jamie
Great video!
Useful video, as usual. About the MEMOBOTTLE, it's a very nice invention, because flat and easy to carry in the pouch (I bought the TOMTOC white, after seeing it on your video a year ago), but it is anything but a new invention: our great-great-grandfathers, as the western films of the 1930s show us, used to carried flat flasks of whiskey etc. in their jacket pockets. I really thought I'd buy it to fill it not with unnoble water, which causes rust, but with a precious Macallan de Lalique: indeed, a precious drink deserves a genuine container.
i personally got the ekster wallet aluminum but swapped the plate for the angryjoeshow for bottle opener. carries 5 cards plus 3 on one side plus 2 on the other side plus a 50aud note and a bandaid. bandaid comes in clutch when im not carrying a altoids like tin with first aid stuff.
my multitool is the leatherman wingman. knife, pliers and phillips i use most. mainly the pliers and philips honestly for building fixtures at work when needed to.
recently got the rovyvon a5 g3 with the glow in dark body which actually is super handy and that aux light especially since it can flash red if my rear bicycle light dies i have this to clip onto it. thanks to your video on the rovyvon lights. its smaller than expected.
if i had to throw in a random item its between the airpress pen or the slice 10495 model the one from excessorize me since i work retail cutting boxes is a breeze. will say on my second pair since i lost my first one (also happened to the first pair) after a year or so the spring broke so it doesnt auto flip out anymore but can just flick the wrist and works fine. still on the same blade after 2 half years now doesnt gunk up on tape. still cuts cardboard easily and sharp enough to cut plastic straps and plastic wrap. try not to drop it on the tip as my first pair did snap a small piece of the tip still useable for tape and half effective on everything else after that so did flip the blade on that pair before losing the knife.
the airpress pen so far has been the only pen that still works somehow doesnt gunk up the tip with pocket lint unlike most generic pens and is pretty small. this is definitely not budget friendly but just want to put it out there for anyones inspiration and from personal experience took a while to find these particular tools and things that realllly work for me.
Ty for this video! I bought that Hoto screwdriver for equivalent of 7.66 pounds, its so much more compact than my Wiha 24 in 1 set, I'm amazed. 😍😍😍
My vote would be for Jon’s budget kit!
1. Jamie
2. Jamie
3. Tie both bad, (one no screwdriver one cheap Chinese)
4. Janie
A bottle for Jon's handbag really???
Jamie
I have the Acebeam and really like it. It’s not my EDC (I have a Rovyvon for that), but it fills my need for a bright, hands free light when checking on my animals after dark. I was curious about this style of light, and it was on sale for about $23USD. “Dual fuel” is a bonus, as is the headband. I have found that it doesn’t always want to shut off with a long press, but wants to keep cycling through different light levels. This is a new development that I keep hoping is user error, but it is frustrating.
I have the vault skin wallet and I’ve had it for over 4 years, I absolutely love it.
Love these match ups. I have a couple of Sofrins... the build quality always leaves me a bit worried, especially around the power button and the UI requires so much clicking, it gets a bit maddening. Their IF23 is a power bank and side light with color, but it gets over 110F during use, the whole body. So just check on their different products, they are hit and miss for sure. I keep a HOTO screwdriver in my work bag, super handy. I have the Roxon, mine has bad build quality and some of the tools just kind of flip out, can't tighten to fix, would probably need to add a washer or something. But the scissors are great.
It was Jamie's Hoto screwdriver choice that put it over the top. So much so, that I purchased one immediately after. (Also the Iron Maiden shirt gave have him bonus points)
Cheers mate, the screwdriver is great, Jon has even bought one and he has a million screwdrivers 🤣
I like Jamie's multi-tool and wallet and Jon's Flashlight and special item.
I have the HOTO screwdriver, and I have found that the bits with the smallest crossectional tip area do NOT stay in the operational tip of the tool, because the magnet inside is too weak! I have found this very annoying.
Next, I have tried carrying a Thrunite flashlight with an 18650 battery around in my pants pockets, cargo pockets, and vest pockets, and it's too large and heavy. I always have a Lumintop AA2.0 in my shirt pocket, which fits perfectly, and using a 3.7 V battery, is both useful and comfortable and delivers ~ 650 L. So, I would prefer Jon's small, dual use flashlight/headlamp. Those are just my observations. And while I have tried to find a big, FLAT, plastic bottle to carry with my EDC bag, I agree that 29 pounds is a bit over the top, certainly not in my meager price range.
Good afternoon Jon Thank you and Jamie for a great show. I believe that it a even draw between yourself and Jamie.
Good to hear - thank you 👍
I’m a big sofirn fan and EDC one of their lights but for budget I have to go with the Acebeam.
Like the SwissTech Multitool (couldn’t find it on Amazon).
Like both wallets 👍🏽
Have to go with magnetic screwdriver for bonus item.
Great video, guys 👏🏾 i shall now go to cast my vote.
Both great choices combine them both and have a great carry
I’ve a Sofirn head torch that is excellent! I also got a couple Bibury pliers based multi tools recently. One that is very Wavy and one that Surged into my basket. Fit and finish is not up to LM standard but I got both for under £65. Will leave the Surge style one at work to abuse.
Great feedback
Clean sweep for Jamie.
I love my Sofirn SC32 I've been using it at work everyday. It's beat up compared to the one you have here haha 100% recommended
I could see Jon’s wallet leading to a game of 52 pickup when trying to find a card. I liked Jon’s light more though. Jamie had the better tool, wallet and bonus item with the Screwdriver imo.
SHould try Bibiry multi tools Jon. Tried a few and the ones over £20 are amazing. As always awesome vids
Memo bottles (I have two) are indeed very useful.
Thanks Guys! The Acebeam flashlight is the one I will get, it is great to know you can extend the use in any emergency by i=using some standard AA or another rechargeable one. John you might like Stanley ecycle cleanable recycled flask because its flat and you can clean it. Now it only holds 200ml so there might be an opportunity to use it
He did get the grey one though, higher lumen output but at the expense of CRI. The black version has a High CRI Nichia 519A but max out at 600lm.
Thanks for info - will check it out.
The choices are, as always, down to personal and particular requirements. I would always prefer a slimmer wallet yet a more robust multi-tool. Great video though.
That Crazy Horse Wallet is the best item in the whole video. I'd also take that Acebeam flashlight... It's compact and seems very practical.
Btw, maybe you should review some lighters. It's a good idea to carry one, especially on trips in the nature.
Great feedback and suggestion 👍
Love my M2 and belt arry in pouch. Precision driver, ace. Can see merit of both torches
Hide and drink makes great leather card holders. Under $15 most of them
Huston, we have problem - I like flashlights, and mistery tools!
A second comment, for a small multitool I use the Nextool Sailor Mini. I have both versions, scissors and pliers. Both very good, both very small. Neither has a locking blade so UK legal. I paid around £15 each.
Nextool is fantastic. I have the larger Nextool Black Knight. It comes in both locking and non locking versions.
The sofirn sc32 with the SST-40 emitter does have a bit of a green tint in the moonlight mode and a low CRI. I would recommend the SC32 HCRI it has a 519a emitter higher CRI and a better tint to the light overall but you sacrifice 700 lumens on turbo for the cri and tint.
I keep that HOTO screwdriver in my everyday bag. It's fantastic!
I preferred Jamie's mystery item, but on the others I favor Jon's kit. It's just more versitile. But that's a really nice screwdriver.
