Weird this topic is in RWI. It's like free post count lol. Anyway, I DIY'ed myself this thinga few days ago.



If you're wondering what those numbers are, they are actually sizes for hex screws. I bought this at a local hardware shop for about RM9. Then bough some screws because the provided screws are too big.

yeah as if like they did no market research at all

maybe they think that this is a niche market so they dont expect much sales

Coz if i put them in /k, it will be swamped with stupid stuffs...i dont want non-EDC to come in and kacau..and most dare not because if kena report straight bora2...

Hence i have it in RWi...it's real, and it's serious stuff...EDC not for everyone, only niche group....


Nice..the last time i saw this was at EDC forum..wanted to try, but i dont have tools that can cut keys or punch a nice hole on them.

Wat u use to drill them out/cut those keys?

And btw, swiss tech or something, sells this kind of key holder...and some of it s model come with a sharpened key to act as a knife...u can get the saw type if u want too. but not cheap..each around RM80 or so..

but then still, those who are into this kinda stuffs, usually surf the web for new tools and review...then for sure we know how to check prices on ebay and compare them as well, among other sites.

It's time they price their items more competitively...and we dont have to buuy from overseas and risk : 1) kastam tax 2) local hobby shop closing due to lack of sales

Ah I see. Sure no problem then.
I bought this one Gundam tool kit when I was still making Gundam :


The grind(not sure the name) at he far back is only 5mm wide, so I could use it to grind a bit more hole in my keys to fit the screw.

There's this Keysmart that ran a Kickstarter before. it starts at $20 for an aluminium build and goes up to $45 for titanium.

Oh and mine is prett heavy though. The same, if not a bit more than my iPod touch

im really looking for this pen or something in equivalent here but no luck so far

http://www.oliversha.com/shop/the-move-pen

a bolt action pen

looks really cool

to import it from the states with our currency right now doesn't seems to be a sound decision though

i remember keysmart... i also remember alot of keysmarts with the screw rod holding the keys breaking.
plus i wasn't in the mood of modding my keys to fit.

Actually, you can make this more useful by buying a few different sets (these come in sets of Torx, Allen and 3 Philips/3 slot combo). And for 8.90 each, they aren't expensive to start. I have all 3 sets in my car. They have a set that is slightly more than 1/2 inch shorter @ 6.90 that you can use to canibalize the tools from.

Mix and and match and you have a key holder with some additional tools. And the phillips/slot tool is much more useful than any found on those mini multitools.

That's a good idea, bt even with only 6 keys, the final weight isn't something i would call light.

The only problem with mixing in tools is the possibility it'll disrupt the thickness. And unless you plan well, it'll look weird with one side being thicker while the other thinner or one side has ore stuff while the other has less stuff. (I'm very anal about having my stuff symmetrical, so either of those problems will surely irritate me)

I guess it depends on your personal needs. For me, it would be cool to add more, but the stupidly thick "grip" and weight of it is a turnoff for me to add any more.

Interesting that the have the other screws. My place only had the torx set. Bummer.


On the topic of key holder/organizer, I found this the other day :

http://superclassic.jp/?pid=51202

It can't hold any extra tools or a lot of keys, but for the essential ones, it'll work. Plus there's a coin pouch. Very useful for us Malaysians where we are still very reliant on coins but use a slim wallet with no place to put your coins. Too bad the price is kill. Just sharing

Am gonna check this out

Here are my Mr.DIY budget specials.

1) Folding knife
2) Mini multitool
3) Customized Folding tool (2 Philips, 1 slot, 2 Allen), made by combining 2 different sets)
4) AAA LED flashlight.

Prob spent less than rm45 for everything...and very light and compact (the longest is the flashlight at 10cm, rest don't exceed 8cm when folded)

EDC don't have to expensive as long as it serves the purpose.

An expensive Leatherman might give you a better blade and pliers but nothing beats dedicated screw bits...especially M5 and M6 Allen bits.

I guess that one is expensive due to the leather probably. I dunno.

But bruh... That knife tho... Where?!

All from Mr. DIY

The knife is only 8.50.

Whut. That kind of curing doesn't come cheap liao. Will keep an eye out alright. Oh didn't notice it, but nice color theme. I just mix any color as long as it serves its purpose

LOL. Dont expect some exotic metallurgy for 8.50. The blade has what looks to be some printing on the surface.

Blade is soft and don't hold its edge for very long, but it is easy to sharpen quickly, and quite sharp when freshly sharpened. Serves its purpose of occasional use.

The only thing out of the colour theme is the metal flashlight. I do have other coloured anodized single AA sized LED flashlights that also does a reasonable job for the price. Just waiting for them to sell one in red.

Ah I see. Well, it's at that price anyway so yeah

Oh i think it actually fits pretty well in fact. since the color theme is red + silver. It's not too out of coordination really.

just bought 2 new toys.
sanrenmu 7045 blade that comes with seat belt cutter and glass breaker, and a olight i3e...single mode at 90 lumens.

the i3e is in the middle of the SAK 58mm and fenix LD01...its so nice and small

nice!! But where's the glass breaker? cant see in the photo...

and the i3e..AAA cell? I used to EDC AAA due to it's slim size...but cant last long in term of lighting..so decided to go for CR123/RCR123 instead....so any chance of jumping over to RCR123 cell?

glass breaker is behind the seat belt cutter at the butt end.

speaking of CR123, i tried the new 2016 fenix E15...much much better than previous version...too bad price also very nice...rm135...zzz.
i just dont feel like carrying CR123 anymore cos run time not much difference and have to travel abit to get good CR123...while AAA the energizer lithium ones very easy to find.

ahh..i zoom in and can see abit..its blocked by the seat belt cutter right?

the E15...is it twisty like old model? i have a twisty CR123..but i find twisty, albeit it's safe to put in pocket, is quite hassle to turn on with 1 hand..... and i think pretty standard liao. In fact might be cheaper d..last time i got a nitecore twisty on CR123 at RM140..and that's like 2-3 yrs ago..so even with MYR going down, i guess RM135 is pretty good price liao.

Aiks..cr123 run time short? Hmm..maybe i always go for low/med mode, hahaa.. but get recharfgeable ones la..Olight's RCR123 very good price at around RM20+ a pc only...can tahan high draw also unlike AW's brand.

Oops..i dont go for primary cells..too expensive liao...only rechargeable for me..except my AAA lights..seldom use now..and after my friend lost the 3pcs of AAA eneloppies..decided to jst buy those Zinc Cloride from Tesco..cheap and seldom use. so a pack of 4 at RM3.20 can last me a yr or more..


Still...nice haul bro!!
