EDC
Everyday carry (EDC) or every-day carry refers to useful items that are consistently carried on person every day. These items can help individuals handle everyday tasks (opening packages, minor repairs) and possible emergency situations such as first aid or self-defense. EDC includes products like flashlights, knives, and multitools

Ysmart, which specializes in EDC gear, has launched a tiny flashlight that's perfect for people who want to have one within arm's reach at all times. It turns on as soon as you snap it off its magnetic base, and charges wirelessly on a custom dock. -
I love EDC gear that's designed to take up as little room as possible. The Elio water bottle is a great example of that: it can hold 25.4 fl oz when expanded, and compress down to the size of a hockey puck for easy packing or carrying on the go. -
Designed to give you more of what you'll use and less tagalong bulk you won't, the new Tacray MT1 multitool has a thin open chassis with a pair of flip-out tools. And it adds a much-desired feature that most multitools leave behind: a flashlight. -
Outask has advanced its pocketable light into a versatile multitool with many uses for home and in the field. The TD2 triples light output inside a multi-axis chassis that makes it a pocket flashlight, table lamp, magnetic work light and more. -
The crowdfunded titanium multitools may indeed be plentiful these days, but a few do still manage to stand out. Such is the case with Clym, which sports a claimed 17 functions including a ratcheting screwdriver, adjustable wrench, pry bar and compass. -
Multitools with 10 or so functions are all very well and good, but why stop there if you can go all the way up to 22? That's exactly what XTrailor's P22 offers, including pliers, multiple blades, plus even a whistle and a firestarter. -
Roxon presents what it calls the "most anticipated" multitool innovation in its lineup. The new Flex Shears tool combines Flex modular implements with Phantom interchangeable blades to give users the ultimate choice in what they pack every day. -
In order to stay small, many multitools forgo certain functions for others. The SwitchDisc takes a different approach, with three separate "cores" that can be swapped in and out of the seven-function main body as the situation dictates. -
Although we've seen a number of multitools that take the form of a flat card, the Slidex still manages to put a new spin on the concept. It's a metal card that folds into a triangular column, packed with features such as a screwdriver and a knife. -
Solid-state batteries have an edge over lithium-ion ones, thanks to the use of a non-flammable electrolyte. Hardware upstart BMX is packing this tech into a power bank to juice up your phone anywhere you go, without the chance of self-combusting. -
Opinel knives are an ageless classic of the folding knife market. This year, though, they've gotten a new twist ... or lack thereof. The Néo6 knife carries the same sleek, timeless look but trades out the locking blade for a non-locking slip joint. -
Successfully Kickstarted last year, Team IF's wrench-sporting OmniPro Tool went on to be declared one of our Best Multitools of 2024. It now has an even more capable successor, in the form of the aptly-named OmniPro 2.0.
