EDC updated to 2.0...

The other night I was surfing the net and looking for some possible EDC Wish list items for later on in the year, however saw an awesome deal at Masters for the Leatherman Sidekick, Leatherman Z-Rex and Monarch 6 torch + a Leatherman Carabiner Combo, it also came with a Mollie sheath for the Z-Rex and a sheath for the Sidekick. Total package $88 AUD, was looking at it for my Father in-laws birthday, but couldn't pass up the deal for myself, I have now gotten my Rebar back and given my Leatherman Wingman to my wife to use.

Here are each of the tools...

Leatherman Sidekick multi-tool... This has now replaced my Wingman which is basically the same, however the Sidekick doesn't have the Scissors instead has a saw, now need for the scissors on the Sidekick as my LM Surge has awesome heavy duty scissors or I can rely on my LM Micra also. The Sidekick also has a serrated knife rather than the Package opener that the Wingman has, both are the same weight and size.

 

Leatherman Z-Rex Rescue tool... With summer heating up here in Perth, Monday is going to be around 38oC, I visit a lot of Shopping Centres for work, we have had over the past few years kids left in cars asleep while the parent runs into the shopping centre to pick up a few bits and pieces. Having the ability to use the Titanium window breaker is awesome. With the busy freeways and main roads we have here we also get a high number of car accidents, so having the ability to cut seat belts could and may come in handy.

 

Monarch 6 Torch (2x AA)... I already own the Led Lenser P3, however it is only 16 lumens so wanted a brighter light the Monarch is 100 lumens, this will assist me if I have to get out of the car at night for any reason and will be bright enough to been seen and for me to see where and what I am looking at.

 

The Monarch 6 next to my Led Lenser P3 (1x AAA), just a size comparison.

The Mollie sheath for the Z-Rex and the Cover case for the Sidekick...

 

Bonus gift in the pack was a Leatherman Carabiner tool...

I have made myself a back up EDC / Emergency kit for my car, in the pack it contains the following tools in the pack, I have also added a pair of Neoprene Inner Ski gloves to the mix to use with the Z-Rex, to give a small amount of protection if I have to use it.

* Leatherman Rebar
* Leatherman Removable Bit Driver (Rebar)
* Leatherman 21 Bit Kit (Surge, does fit Removable Bit Kit also)
* BG Gerber (Folder) Knife
* 2x AA batteries (Monarch)
* Monarch 6
* Disposable Gloves
