i thought that was a colt pocket 25 at first glance, what pistol is it 

[New_World]

yeah what pistol?

[Zed]

yeah what pistol?

I googled it  phoenix arms from ontario  i was close with 25cal 

then noticed you wrote the make lol, raven mp-25

[Gabriel80]

yeah what pistol?

Yes it's a RAVEN .25 cal AUTO PISTOL.  In the 1980's millions were sold, usually for around $50-75.  The pistol was originally made by a company RAVEN ARMS but later produced by PHOENIX ARMS (still being called the RAVEN)

It's basically a "belly gun"  or also called a "junk gun" or a "Saturday Night Special"  The U.S. Government hated the gun because it was so cheap, it made it readily available to criminals (pimps and hoes)  You could pull the gun out of your pockets, hold it to someones stomach, shoot it, and then throw the damn thing in the garbage because it wasn't that expensive (and is now evidence)  Ha!  The Raven .25 has been out of production since 1993 and now you can get one on the secondary market for anywhere from $75-$150.

But basically it's a real piece of sh*t, nothing you could trust you life on.  I bought it for curiosity sake, it's fun to shoot but I would never really carry that thing. 

If you want an awesome pistol (that fits even better in the MaxPed) check out the RUGER LCP .380  it's a newer pistol, still in production, selling like crazy and shoots a bullet 10 times bigger than the raven, plus it weights only 13oz since the frame is polymer!

I have over 100 tools in this experimental tool kit and keep in mind this is the Maxpedition MICRO pocket organizer, so there's a lot less room to work with!

[nuphoria]

Cool. Can you explode it for us?

[Sazabi]

Cool. Can you explode it for us?

With detailed list?  I'm curious to see what all you have hiding.

I enjoyed your Youtube video which explained the contents.  Good work!

[Gabriel80]

NOW I WANT A MAXPED MICRO TOO! 

Cool video!

You have a needle but you forgot thread   (unless you count the strings in the paracord, but I prefer regular thread) Awesome setup, I especially liked the positioning of the cable ties, never occurred to me to try shoving something in there.

Another thing is that Key Tool bit driver. Is it plastic? Will it take a lot of torque without flexing? I recently got a Chapman mini ratchet. It's really small but very useful and would hardly take up any space in your kit. Here's a review of it over on EDCF by xbanker.

You have a lot of useful stuff crammed in to a small space there

Thanks for the pic

Good point about the missing thread. To tell you the truth, I don't keep a needle and thread even in my giant tool box either, and rarely sew, but it certainly could come in handy.

The needle lives in the spine of my Maxped(s) permanently, next to the safety pin, regardless of kit design or purpose. [This is why both of them didn't make it to the exploded photo shown in the video, however I did extract them for the photo I posted here in the thread].

In my survival based kits I usually keep a spool of dental floss as my thread (extremely strong stuff) or, as you mention, can use the paracord inner strands which themselves breakdown into even thinner sub units, BTW.

The Key Tool is plastic but strong. It was chosen because it is the tiniest design I have and I prefer it with the Leatherman bit extender over the County Comm EDC-Key Screwdriver which is analogous, but doesn't have a "stubby" length mode capability using the bit alone, without the extension, like the Key Tool does without the Leatherman part, for really tight spaces.

This kit was just an experiment, I don't use this as an EDC bag, but a ratcheting design like you suggest might be a better bet. If I were to have one I would only consider ones with a conventional bit holder option at the end for tight spaces, where you don't have the room to be swinging a ratchet handle around. I bought a Rocket Ratchet that has that feature.https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=rocket+ratchet&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&biw=1117&bih=550&wrapid=tlif134421537394610&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=YBkfUMuFHsry0gGY24DQCQ
 
[Further rant]: This "no room to be swinging a handle around" problem is also why my kit has a real adjustable wrench, which in a pinch can even attack a nut/bolt at a right angle, instead of the ubiquitous multi-position V-opening mouths of many pocket tools like the Pocket Wrench II  , etc, which assume the nut is free and clear on a top surface and not recessed down a hole/valley or at a right angle to a surface (like the side bolts on many car battery posts).

[ironraven]

What are in the two straws north of the superglue, and the objest just to the left there of? And do you not have the nozzle/cap for your tiny superglue? I had to scrap some bits and a tiny altoids tin when one of the bits hit cap on the end of the nozzle just right several years ago.

[mzil]

I'm thinking maybe you didn't see the video? I can see how you might have missed it since I didn't post it, parnass beat me to it, and the image looks just like the main tool kit photo I had just posted, so you might have glanced over it and thought you were just seeing a duplicate image of my still image, not a link to the YouTube video. Check it out.

I nixed the cap and dispenser to the SINGLE USE super glue because I couldn't fit all 32 bits in the Altoids Smalls tin with them in place, AND because in theory it gets used once and then you throw it away. Trusting the re-capping to truly seal it and have it be "re-usable for another time" is asking for trouble, in my experience [they clog]. That's why I never buy anything but single use ones even when I'm not building a micro sized tool kit and have as much space as I'd possibly want. They are pretty inexpensive, I use maybe one a year, and I'm always safe and confident that I have a real, working one at hand that's factory fresh.

I've had super glue containers bust on me too, which is why I take the precautions I mention in the video.

EDIT TO ADD: OOps, I just realized the video may be out of reach to you due to some other restrictions. Answer to your questions: Elmer's white glue and concentrated liquid soap, glue gun stick I melt with matches/burning popsicle stick

you did really well fitting all that in there, its amazing how much stuff we squeeze in this things, when i return from my camping trip im going to work out a camping set up in a organizer, will hopefully include the el01KH that should be at home on my return

Nice set-up Boyen.   Can you remind me which sharpener that is?

[Boyen]

Thanks! That's a Gatco Tri-Seps, quite ideal for someone like me who isn't very experienced in sharpening knives yet.

[Gareth]

Thanks for that, I was never going to remember that name.

[Heinz Doofenshmirtz]

I have a regular and a micro.  Both are currently used for first aid kits.

[stealth007s]

I've been wanting to get one of these for a while now. Nice set ups!¡! 

[powernoodle]

I now own each of the 5 flavors of Maxpedition EDC organizer (micro, mini, EDC, fatty and beefy), along with a few of the Countycomm versions. 

And I don't really use any of them.

But it sure makes me feel good to order one, wait for it, get it out of the mailbox and open it up.
