Well, I feel slightly mollified that the dearer ones are a bit better (and anyway herslf paid for mine as a panic'ed and belated Valentines gift) but those dealextreme ones are a real bargain!
From left to right
Eagle Creek card wallet (which is just too small to take 20s or 50s without origami but since I rarely have 20s of 50s that aint a problem.
on top of which is a Victoronix Swiss Card we saw incorrectly priced up (£8) in a Go Outdoors.
Fenix L0D as I have awful night vission it gets used a lot.
Cheap watch chain (Need to get a new pocket watch, the old miners Ingersol I used to carry died a death but the chain soldiers on)
Gerber Artifact pry bar, which I'll replace when I can afford one of those hand crafted jobs. I think its the only Commercial EDC pry bar available in the UK but I'd be happy to be proved wrong)
Wengler "Nailclip" (or some such, my spellings never too hot) Bulky but I have three young sons who I never notice need pruning untill we ae out and about. The clippers themselves aint so hot on adult mails. I did try a normal nail clipper on there but it kept making pulls on clothes and was very much a one trick pony. Held on with a 25mm Mailon but as its taken off the key wring so often, also i've found it handy to have one of those on me for stuff like clipping the straps of a bergan together to hold it upright next to a pole on a bus or holding 2 pulls on a zip on a daypack together when carrying something two long in it. They are just so handy!
Inka Pen, a great bit of kit, you can pull the writing part out to jot down notes but if you are going to be using it for a while and don't like fiddly bookies sized pens you can unscrew the outer casing and make a full sized pen out of it. Like a Fischer Space Pen it will write in conditions you would be dead in! They do a titanium version but even with my love of the stuff I couldn't justify the cost.
Pea nut lighter
Broken Maglite Solataire with the end cut off and plugged with Miliput, the cap cut down to the screw thread used to carry a few strike anywhere matches. I've put a circle of skatebaord grip tape on the end as a stiking surface, its stayed on for 15 years so far! I've another Ex Solataire tube I made a little insert to hold thread and needles in but I've stopped carrying that although I may reinstate it .
Nite tritium glow fob, very bright and really helps me locate the keys when sneaking off at 6AM to work.
The spring hook is off a issue wrist strap thingy that was intended to stop people snatching your rifle off you in NI.
