When it comes to everyday carry (EDC), the goal is to carry gear that meets your daily needs. For some, this means a consistent setup; for others, EDC evolves daily, adapting to new tasks and challenges. This evolution has given rise to a world of gear tailored to countless scenarios. Some people embrace minimalism, while others believe in carrying everything—including the kitchen sink.

This shifting mindset has pushed manufacturers to develop tools for specific tasks or users, whether hikers, skateboarders, or generalists. Many companies follow the “more is better” philosophy, cramming multitools with features to suit as many people as possible. But what if your tools could adapt to your needs? Enter Windeler, a UK-based company reimagining how we interact with tools.

Roxon Flex Companion Review: A Pocket Powerhouse for Customization and Everyday Carry

Roxon has always been a brand with an eye for innovation, and with the Flex series, they’ve accomplished something truly groundbreaking—the modular multitool. For decades, DIY enthusiasts and tool hobbyists have dreamt of a multitool that could be customized to fit their specific needs, rather than just accepting a fixed set of tools where some might be redundant or unnecessary. With the Flex, Roxon created an adaptable system that quickly won fans in the multitool community. Now, they’ve refined and reimagined that concept with the Flex Companion, a compact, customizable multitool designed for users who don’t need pliers every day but still want a reliable toolkit in their pocket.

The Gerber Center-Drive Plus is an elevated version of the acclaimed Center-Drive multi-tool, incorporating highly-requested features while maintaining the robust functionality that defines the original. Here’s an in-depth look at what this multi-tool brings to the table, along with personal experiences using it.

The Center-Drive Plus keeps the purposeful one-thumb opening design, ensuring quick access to the tools you use most. The spring-loaded pliers, full-size blade, and center-axis screwdriver remain as the core features, offering reliable performance. The overall build quality is solid, with a sleek, polished aesthetic achieved through tumble finishing of all tools.

The humble Swiss Army knife has been a staple in the multipurpose tool market since 1884. Though it's evolved over the years, it's stayed relatively the same. Victorinox has been a dominant force in the industry world wide. Others have tried to grab some of the action, yet they cannot match the quality or production. They've got over 150 years of experience, one cannot simply compete. But instead of trying to copy them, why not innovate? Create something new, and fresh, use high end materials, and give people something they'll truly want. That is what Greg Medford of Medford Knives set out to do. His answer is called ASK Knives, which is an acronym for American Service Knife.
