I first bought a black Screwdriver round bottle opener, with the round ball in the bit, (around 2012) not magnetic as they are made now. Strong, dependable, I still like it, and still does its job. Don’t carry it anymore as my EDC though. Maybe in a bag, but at my keys, I go much lighter than years before.
Before the half of the last year, I bought a lighter holder, still Screwpop, while I was trying to quit smoking. Yeah, I know…But hey, I did eventually, but the lighter holder still makes part of my EDC.
Before I added it to my EDC, I got that is kind of too big for my keys, so I just attached it to my pants, on the right side, with keys in my left pocket, attached with a clip to the side.
That attach thing from the lighter holder became my favorite aspect of the thing.
I always carried it after realizing that, and used it a few times, as offering fire to people who wanted to light their cigarettes, offering as a present the lighter to my brother in law when his lighter finished the fluid, and so on.
Never left my pants.
But as I know a few idiots, who might have removed the spring from my lighter holder, when it wasn’t under my eyes, and left it without, I wrote to Screwpop to ask if they make replacements to buy, or should I just buy another one.
They said to buy another one from them, and they will send me two, and a flashlight.
Today, the package arrived, and it had two lighter holders, a flashlight, plus a big surprise, which made me smile all day long. There was also a Screwpop Ron’s Utility Knife 3.0 present in the envelope. Nice.
I compared the flashlight with a similar sized one, Fenix E01/E05, and the batteries are all that matter here. If the Screwpop flashlight would work with a AAA, with slight adjustments to the body, it would make it a winner, as it is much easier to replace it, as the triple A are everywhere to find.

The knife, actually de 3.0 version, with the magnet in the back, not letting the blockage lever to move higher, is a very nice EDC item, not letting you without a knife, in a very slim package.
It will go in a wallet, it will go on the keys, even if the magnet will attract other stuff there, or it can be simply attached to a carabiner, for pants attachment.
I like it a lot, but just for thoughts, a clip like other tools have, like the lighter holder, would make it attachable easily.
That would be a version 4, yet, I still like the slimness of it as it is, or maybe just a spring added for sale as an extra, such as a Screwpop carabiner
, for attaching things together.
But really that is my problem, as the thing is good as it is.
Anyway, with its slim construction, it can be the knife to save a life, being small and everything, allowed to fly with, without the blade.
I got mine for free, with gratitude to Screwpop, along with a flashlight and another lighter holder, but to those prices these things have, they are worth at least to be tried.
