Modular Survival Shovel

Designed by campers, for campers, this modular survival shovel combines a whole box worth of tools into a single unit. It features 18 tools: a shovel, saw, axe, knife, spear, bottle opener, fire starter, wire-cutter, trowel, screwdriver, whistle compass, rope cutter, hexagon wrenches, a nail puller, ice pick, ruler, hook, and waterproof storage. All of those are integrated into either the blade or the multiple handle segments, and all of them fit inside the included compact carrying case that slips easily into a backpack and can hide away in your vehicle between adventures. The 420 hardened steel head is tough enough to split wood with it's axe side, and the military-grade aluminum handle keeps things lightweight for carry. The whole package condenses down to roughly the text of a small textbook and is ideal for bug out bags, recovery vehicles, and plain ole camping in woods with friends and family.

Sparkr Wick

The future of lighters is flameless, and this extended reach example is proof. Wick uses electric plasma arc technology that is not only flameless, windproof, and butane-free but is also rechargeable, meaning you can say goodbye to three-packs of cheap butane lighters forever. It charges via USB in less than an hour and will run for days with more than 100 lights per charge. It also features a long neck and an angled lighter head that makes it perfect for lighting barbecues, stoves, and candles. A big advantage over standard butane lighters, it's coated with soft-touch, temperature resistant polycarbonate and comes with a built-in three press safety to avoid unwanted misfires.

Crono Key

No need to carry a folding multi-tool — the Crono Key packs 15 uses into a key-sized apparatus. Among the tools integrated into this stainless steel wonder are an M3 and M5 Hex Nut, Phillips screwdriver, three sizes of flat screwdrivers, a saw, inch and centimeter rulers, a nail puller, a wire stripper, a wing nut, and, of course, a bottle opener. Designed and manufactured in Switzerland, it arrives on a brass ring and has a unique code engraved that can be used to return your keys in the event of a loss.

Uncrate Key Kit

Made up of military-issue surplus tools, our Everyday Carry kit provides a few essentials that'll always be close at hand. The tiny, USA-made tool set is built to government specs, and includes a small steel pry bar (good for a variety of uses), black oxide steel tweezers (splinters and ticks, be gone), a micro grappling hook (don't ask), a pair of small screwkeys (one phillips, one flathead), and a capsule lighter (maybe the world's smallest). It's all strung up on a stainless steel aviation cable that's carried with a custom machined belt loop clip. Just add keys.

The hot spot is balanced for optimal clarity, and transitions softly to maintain comfortable vision during use.

Olight X7R Marauder Flashlight

Reliability and power are two of the most important things you need from a flashlight. And this X7R Marauder provides plenty of each. The upgraded flashlight features a new circuit board with a built-in battery pack and a maximum output of 12,000 lumens. The X7R also now had a proximity sensor that drops the output when the flashlight head approaches an object, and an active thermal management system that reduces the output when the temperature gets too hot to prevent damage. It's also IPX7 waterproof with USB Type-C charging to let you power up three times faster than a traditional Micro-USB port. And the external finish has an ergonomic feel with built-in finger grooves for added comfort and grip.

Puebco Tool Box

Handcrafted from found and recycled steel, Puebco's Tool Box is a new product that has a distinctly used character.

Smaller than many modern tool boxes, it could also double as a lunch pail.

Leatherman Crunch Multi-Tool

The original Leatherman was built around the need for a multi-tool with pliers. The Crunch builds on the idea by making them locking pliers. Able to better handle high-torque jobs, they also double as a vice.

Firebiner

All carabiners are not created equal. This versatile example proves that, created with survival in mind. A small wheel provides a reliable spark whenever you need it, helping to start a fire easily — giving you a leg up around the campfire, and a potentially life-saving option during an emergency. The lightweight accessory is made from strong stainless steel with a durable titanium coating and can handle up to 100 pounds of weight.

Barebones Hori Hori Ultimate Garden Tool

An updated and improved version of their original garden tool, the Barebones "Ultimate" Hori Hori packs everything you need for small garden tasks into one hand-held masterpiece. Its scooped stainless steel blade design allows it to perform digging tasks with ease, while serrated and straight blade edges handle various forms of cutting, including root work and sawing small branches. Markers on the side of the blade represent one inch each for easy planting depth measurements. While the curved indention at the base of the blade can certainly be used for twine cutting, we suggest using it for the most important part of the day: cracking open a cold one. Finishing it off is a solid hardwood handle with a blunt metal end cap that can be used for pounding in tent stakes or compacting soil. The tool arrives with a waxed canvas sheath with a belt clip, all inside tasteful gift packaging.

When it's time to really clean up shop, they nest within each other for easy storage inside a drawer. In line with Best Made's commitment to quality, the trays are made in the USA of 22-gauge steel, with the largest of the set having a riveted data plate stating as much.

Woodman's Pal

Issued to soldiers fighting in the Pacific Theater during WWII, and a standard issue tool to the Army thru Operation Desert Storm, the Woodman's Pal is still the same dependable tool it was seven decades ago. Recently it's been updated to include modern improvements to the blade, handle, and leather sheath while keeping the tool to traditional Mil-Spec. This combination axe and machete replaces several tools at once, with an ideal balance that lets the 1/8" thick high-carbon laser cut blade feel natural as you swing and strike. It measures 17 inches long overall, with an Amish ash wooden handle, hand guard, an 8-inch concave edge, and a 2-inch hook. Going a step beyond just "Made In USA", the Woodman's Pal has been 100% Made in Pennsylvania since 1941 and is backed by a lifetime guarantee. Included with the machete itself is the leather sheath, Lansky sharpening stone, and an authentic copy of the original 1941 owner's manual.

Felco Pruning Shears

You don't need a Ferrari to pick up groceries, and you don't need these Felco Pruning Shears to care for your garden — but they sure are nice to have. Built using the Swiss firm's decades of know-how, this tool is virtually indestructible, delicate enough to prune roses yet rugged enough to slice through one-inch limbs and thick-gauge wire with a reassuring snap. The cutting and riveted anvil blades are made from hardened steel, while the handles are forged aluminum and wrapped in a grippy red coating. The entire set can be easily disassembled for cleaning or sharpening, and replacement parts, in the unlikely event you need them, are readily available.
