The EDC Tool Roll

The EDC Tool Roll has become one of the most popular series of articles ever published on Jerking the Trigger. This page has been created to help catalog all of the reviews in the series, organized by type and then alphabetically. Some tools may not fit neatly into one type so they are listed in two or more types.
