Now I&#8217;ve been able to partner up the Bolt Action pen with the EDS II and EDC wrench making for an incredible EDC setup.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Bigidesign-48-group-IMG20230218114710.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12019\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Bigidesign-48-group-IMG20230218114710.jpg 800w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Bigidesign-48-group-IMG20230218114710-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Bigidesign-48-group-IMG20230218114710-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Bigidesign-48-group-IMG20230218114710-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Video Overview<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In this video we take a good look at a couple of lovely EDC gear designs from BIGiDESIGN.

A single thumb stud means this easier for a right-handed user. Explained in more detail in the video, there is a stop pin that both stops the bit holder arm in the right position when open, and also stops the spare bits sliding out of the front of the storage slot. The other end of the spare bit storage slot has a sprung ball to keep the bits in place. The integral lock action is easy to see as the bit holder is unfolded. Several magnets are used for keeping the spare bits in place and the main bit holder folded. In the EDS II an additional spare bit holder has been integrated into the lower section of bit holder arm. A total of four bits can be carried within the EDS II.<br \/>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-11965 .fg-image { width: 150px; }\n#foogallery-gallery-11965 { --fg-gutter: 10px;

one that is very practical as well.<br \/>\nIt is not the smallest EDC bit holder available, nor does it include a ratchet, but instead it gives you a highly usable screwdriver with integrated bit storage for a total of four bits without needing anything else.<br \/>\nHaving a swing-out bit holder extension arm, the EDS unfolds to a very practical conventional structure of handle, shank, and bit, so compared to many other small EDC screwdrivers it gives you a more usable tool.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

genius part of the design is mimicking an integral lock folding knife, having a thumb stud to swing the bit holder arm out of the folded position for one-handed operation. So satisfying to use!<\/p>\n<p>However there is a little observation to note about how easy or difficult it is to open the EDS II. The arm&#8217;s retention in the folded position is due to a magnet in the body grabbing the bit that is in the bit holder. As you use the EDS II and swap bits around, you will find that a bigger bit, like the full size flat bit, is held by the magnet more firmly, so firmly it becomes very difficult to open using the thumb stud. Put a smaller bit into the holder and it becomes much easier to open again. So the bit you leave in the main bit holder arm changes the ease of opening the EDS II. I would have preferred that the arm retention was a detent (like a knife would use) or that the thumb stud had a bigger cut-out round it allowing more contact and an easier open.<\/p>\n<hr color=\"#333333\"><\/hr>\n<p>Onto the partner tool here and the EDC Wrench, an infinitely more pocket friendly design than a standard adjustable wrench, there was one big flip for me, literally, in how I envisaged using it before actually getting my hands on one. That is the fact that with the adjustable slider being very much on one side of the tool, to use it and make contact with the nut, you have to flip it over so the &#8216;front&#8217; of the tool is away from you (pocket clip towards you). Like this you can&#8217;t see the scale, and initially it just felt a bit odd, but is just how it works. Even with larger nuts, all except the very largest, you need to use it this way round.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Bigidesign-44-Wrench-using-IMG20230213165451.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12014\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Bigidesign-44-Wrench-using-IMG20230213165451.jpg 800w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Bigidesign-44-Wrench-using-IMG20230213165451-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Bigidesign-44-Wrench-using-IMG20230213165451-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Bigidesign-44-Wrench-using-IMG20230213165451-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Bigidesign-44-Wrench-using-IMG20230213165451-365x365.jpg 365w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Bigidesign-44-Wrench-using-IMG20230213165451-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Bigidesign-44-Wrench-using-IMG20230213165451-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Bigidesign-44-Wrench-using-IMG20230213165451-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Being a ring spanner, you do have to be able to pass the ring over the end of the job onto the nut, so can&#8217;t be used for certain jobs.

There is just enough of the 1\/4&#8243; hexagonal bit showing to use the EDC Wrench to grip this and boost the turning force for stubborn screws. Not always possible, but if you have the space, this can save you having to go for bigger tools. In this case the EDC Wrench is used with the slider facing you as it needs to be this way round to grip that small section of the hex bit.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Bigidesign-46-EDS-Wrench-using-IMG20230218113902.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12016\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Bigidesign-46-EDS-Wrench-using-IMG20230218113902.jpg 800w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Bigidesign-46-EDS-Wrench-using-IMG20230218113902-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Bigidesign-46-EDS-Wrench-using-IMG20230218113902-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Bigidesign-46-EDS-Wrench-using-IMG20230218113902-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Bigidesign-46-EDS-Wrench-using-IMG20230218113902-365x365.jpg 365w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Bigidesign-46-EDS-Wrench-using-IMG20230218113902-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Bigidesign-46-EDS-Wrench-using-IMG20230218113902-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Bigidesign-46-EDS-Wrench-using-IMG20230218113902-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Both of these beautiful EDC tools are made from grade 5 titanium alloy and punch well above their weight, even more so together.<\/p>\n<hr color=\"#333333\"><\/hr>\n<p><b>Review Summary<\/b><\/p>\n<p><i>The views expressed in this summary table are from the point of view of the reviewer\u2019s personal use.
