You likely know Aerocrafted for their Titanium Sideslip Utility Knife. Now, they are set to release some new titanium goodness for your EDC – the Vector Titanium Pen.
The new pen has a two-piece design that allows it to go from compact and pocket-friendly to a full-size pen that is comfortable to hold for extended periods. The combination of lightweight titanium and self-lubricating bronze materials ensures that sections of the pen can be separated with ease every time.
Stickthison has launched a new update to their website and several new t-shirt designs. The new site highlights the fact that they have moved well beyond just patches to offer pins, stickers, accessories, and a ton of apparel with more gun art and humor than you can shake a stick at.
August 2nd 2021 – The P10iX is the Xtreme Performance i-Generation 21700 Tactical Flashlight designed with the i-generation ultimate revolution. The groundbreaking i-Generation technology has brought infinite possibilities to the design of tactical flashlights. It is now unprecedently upgraded to enable a more reliable and rapid operation of tactics with an Xtreme performance.
Utilizing 4 x CREE XP-L2 V6 LEDs, the P10iX has a max output of 4,000 lumens, a max throw of 158m and a peak beam intensity of 6,250cd, ideal for law enforcement, assault operations, self-defense, search and patrols. The independently controlled quadruple LEDs are powered by a constant current circuit to provide a durable usage with guaranteed safety.
The ultimate dual tail switch design includes the Tactical Tail Switch for momentary-on and constant-on illumination and the STROBE READY™ Mode Button for output adjustment and instantly accessing STROBE / TURBO. The randomly changing STROBE Mode with randomly changing frequencies can cause stronger dizzying effects due to the inadaptability of the naked eyes. With two user modes available, it has the Daily Mode specially designed for daily uses and the Tactical Mode for self-defense and operations. When the light is off in Tactical Mode, half press or full press the Power Button to directly access TURBO when STROBE is not memorized. The instant dazzle strike of 4,000 lumens enables an abrupt disturbance to your adversary, ideal for self-defense and law enforcement.
The P10iX is powered by a 21700 i Series Battery and compatible with 2 x CR123/RCR123 batteries. As a patent product developed by NITECORE, the 21700 i Series Battery is a proprietary 21700 rechargeable Li-ion battery featuring dual way output with positive and negative polarities at both ends and a high energy density. Thanks to the groundbreaking technology and techniques, it enables a highly efficient output by minimizing the loss of power due to internal resistance and is compatible with modular extensions of intelligent communications and controlling systems. It offers 350 hours ultra long runtime which enables a consistent usage of 14 days on ULTRALOW.
The USB-C charging port is available with a reversible plug-in. The charging port cover provides excellent water, dust and impact resistance. The integrated ATR technology regulates the output of the P10iX according to the working condition and ambient environment to maintain the optimal performance.
The P10iX is ultra compact and lightweight with a standard tube diameter of 1” (25.4mm) and compatible with NITECORE gun mounts including GM02MH, GM03, GM04 and more. Specially designed for law enforcement, the included compact NTH10 Tactical Holster enables a quick draw of the flashlight with an adjustable stopper on the clip to suit belts of various sizes and compatible with the MOLLE System. It can be used combined with NTR10 Tactical Ring Pro, which can keep a two-handed grip of the firearm while carrying or operating a flashlight, easy for continuous and stable shooting and reloading. Other optional accessories include the TSL10i signal light and F21i fast charging power system. It is all-weather applicable, IP68 rated, 2m submersible and waterproof, and 2m impact resistant.
Dauntless Mfg and Gypsy EDC have announced that they have begun work on the first production run of the Little Nasty, one of the Idaho-based knife maker’s most popular designs. The production Little Nasty will be double-edged, ground from AEBL stainless steel. It features a distinctive, 3.75″ wedge-shaped blade that is all about piercing with its aggressive point.
The Little Nasty will be available with black or gray random textured G-10 scales. The provided sheath will be one of Gypsy EDC’s Deep6 kydex sheaths with centerline mounted DCC clip.
The EDC Tool Roll is a feature on Jerking the Trigger in which we profile various everyday carry worthy tools. The tools shown aren’t multi-tools but rather real tools, that by virtue of their compact size, light weight, usefulness, or unique functionality, can find a place in any range kit, emergency kit, or everyday carry bag.
Feel free to comment on the tools that you carry so we can all learn! The discussion on these posts has been very valuable so far.
If you are looking for some of the lightest, most compact, and functional handtools for your version of The EDC Tool Roll, you might have to leave the hardware store and head over to the bike shop. That is where you are most likely to find this slick ratchet/driver combination tool we are focusing on today… the Topeak Ratchet Rocket Lite DX.
The ratchet/driver included with this kit has a unique format with a reversible ratcheting end complete with a finger wheel and a fixed inline end. The configuration is excellent allowing for the speed of a ratcheting driver along with the easier starts and longer reach of a fixed, inline driver. Both ends hold standard hex shank bits with excellent retention. This format is VERY useful in a small driver.
I was initially interested in the Topeak Ratchet Rocket Lite DX for just the ratchet/driver. I thought the other items might be too bike-specific to be useful to me but I have been pleasantly surprised with how much I like the included pouch. The pouch holds the contents securely and is very compact. You can easily exchange the bike-specific bits for whatever you need (though the labeled sizes won’t match). Additionally, if you remove the tire levers, you can fit a Knipex Cobra Plier 87 00 100 in the kit turning it into a smaller than wallet size EDC Tool Roll on it’s own.
This kit doesn’t come with a hex shank to socket adapter. It is worth adding one on your own because makes a fine socket wrench and nut driver. I purchase them from iFixit.

You stand a good chance of finding this tool locally in your bike shop. If you can’t support your local spot, Amazon has it: Topeak Rocket Ratchet Lite DX on Amazon
