Have a Multitool or EDC Question? Leave a comment and I may make a video on it!

Maxlvledc is a channel dedicated to exploring the tools we carry every day. I will be discussing bags, flashlights, knives, multitools, pen, wallets, key organizers, pry tools, functional clothing, watches, electronics, and much more. Because I also love to modify these items, there will be videos on tools such as screwdrivers, pliers, scissor, wrenches, and power tools.

I try to read every comment so pls feel free to ask any questions below! Thanks for stopping in!

It would be interesting see your Top 10 without budget restrictions.

My daughter went off to college in August. I got her the Protac 1L-1AA to carry in her backpack specifically because of the combination of brightness, modes, and fuel flexibility. Got one for myself too. 😁

Been carrying the Maglite AAA Solitaire for years now. It can't be beat. Dirt cheap, made in America and extremely durable. It's a simple design that does everything anyone would need for a pocket flashlight.

I think that an EDC flashlight is one of the best items to EDC after a blade. It is often overlooked but can be huge when you are in need of one. Thanks Dom.

Great list. many inexpensive options that are really great. Quick note, the Wurkkos FC13s DOES have power bank ability, but for some reason it is only labeled on Amazon properly for the 6000k version. Both the 5000k and 6000k versions have it. Super weird. That 6k version is often a little more expensive while the 5k version has more lumen output for both High and Turbo mode (3500 vs the 6k 2500). When on Sale for $20 I pick some up and give as gifts. Perfect for a car or a purse to have emergency charge for your phone with some quality brightness and easy to use Strobe when needed.

O’Light makes an AAA keychain light that’s 300 lumens that sells for $9.99 that is AWESOME! One function, it on or off, but it’s so tiny, about the size of a AAA battery, nothing extra, super small, and very functional. I used mine for years before discovering the Royvon A8. I also have two Wurkos TD02 ($18) and a TS11 ($45) that are both excellent, both 2000 lumens max. The TD02 is a good balance between between flood/spot, the TS11 is the smallest, most effective thrower/spot I’ve seen.

I bought a Sorfin after one of your previous videos and it has become one of my most essential edc items. Specially now with this whole daylight savings horseshit

[grattof]

I just bought my first i3t from Olight. Perfect edc light for me. That 180 lumens seem brighter. I combine my primary edc light with a Aurora A8 from Rovyvon that lives with my keys.

[SolitaryWolf]

Fenix is my go to for all flashlights. Their customer service is great and the flashlights are amazing!

[CesarIsaacPerez]

I still have my Streamlight I bought 7 years ago. Love that little thing still going strong.

[PoopFrancis]

I’ve happened to lose every single flash light I have ever owned at the moment. So thank you.

[franksantiago]

THANKS AGAIN MAX- I PURCHASED ONE OF THE WURKOS FLASHLIGHTS YOU SHOWCASED. GREAT LIST.

[the_swinging_axe]

You are an asset to the gear world!! Thank you. I rock a i1r2eos on my keys, a rovyvon a25 glow in the jacket, and a Petzl actik headlamp in my backpack. I want a slimmer picket light so I'll go with the smaller rechargeable rovyvon. I like the streamlight you showed too

[Cynicism]

It just goes to show there is a huge amount of budget friendly flashlights out there that are worth considering. It great having channels like this one who do the groundwork and offer the reviews so people can make an informed decision to meet their needs.

[hificat]

Hate to be that broken record, but I'd love to see your take on a Hanklight or two. It's wild that from the time you order, and they get custom built, you can have them in hand in a couple weeks.

[richbeck]

I love flashlights even more than knives. I gave Rovyvon a try a few years ago with an original A5. Then I picked up an upgraded A5, an A23 and A25. I was initially concerned about reliability and the longevity of their batteries. Last year we ended up needing to descend Mount Moana Kea in Hawaii in the dark. My father-in-law didn’t have a light with him. I had both the A5 and A25. They both worked flawlessly for the four hour descent and gave us lots of light. Now I’m sold on the brand and use them every day.

[GideonR-rs]

I carry a wurkkos for the past 4 years. I’ve only had to replace it once when I dropped it off a 12 foot ladder. I love that it’s usb type C but you can also swap out the battery too

[T-Mo_]

Love my Leatherman squirt p4 and RovyVon A1 keychain setup. 4 ounces: 6 keys a multitool and flashlight.

[SoMoMule]

I keep a 6" rule with both us/metric on my bench too. Funny, good video. I have the ACEBEAM H16, handy little light.

The Streamlight Protac 1L-1AA is hard to beat if your on a budget and dont need some specific UI. Its got a simple UI and unbeatable versatility in fuel options.
