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

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. -
While there may indeed be a plethora of multitools on Kickstarter, many are either too small to use easily or too big to just toss in a pocket. The NexTool strikes a good balance, stuffing eight functions into a right-sized titanium body. -
One of the newest releases from Nextool, the W4 appears at first to be a basic adjustable wrench. But not only does it pack 10 more features inside its handle, it carries a small switch that extends its functionality well beyond other multi-wrenches. -
Hacksmith Industries has focused its engineering chops into creating a lightweight titanium multi-tool that looks like a compact pocket knife, but actually packs up to 21 features. Oh, and its blade is strong enough to cut a Swiss Army knife in half. -
This compact multitool tackles a range of measurement, drawing, cutting, and positioning tasks. If you're an architect, engineer, contractor, woodworker, or DIY enthusiast – or if you have one of those in your life – the Omni-R is worth a look. -
What do you do after successfully crowdfunding a tiny knife and a tiny pen? If you're London gear company Malboro & Kane, you combine them to form a clever gadget known as the SlashPen, which also features a screwdriver and a glass-breaking tip. -
Most multitools are rectangular, but why should that one shape get to have all the fun? The Ti-Scout packs eight tools into a triangular form factor, which spreads the functionality across two stacked plates connected by a pivot point at one corner. -
One of our favorite little multitools of 2024, The James Brand Warrick is a sleek and focused driver with a form that directly follows its function. Now it's gaining a little extra flash to match.
