Bit Kit Coin Purse Idea

Craiger · **on:** November 08, 2013, 07:32:27 AM

I usually shy away from anything "purse" related, but I have been wondering about different ways to carry all those cool bits from the bit kit. Before being married, I usually had lots of cash and change, and used to have a coin purse to keep all the change in one place. Now, post marriage, I just have bills.

Anyway, I ordered another one on EBAY and will be testing it out. Already, I know that I would rather have this riding in my pocket than a couple of bit cards.

I do like the organization of the bit cards, but short of getting a Skinth, I can't see taking them anywhere in my pockets. The coin purse provides a denser carry format.

Does it make you sound like Santa's reindeer when you walk?

I like the idea.

I would just prefer a smaller coin purse format as I don't carry/need all of the bits.

Nah, it's not noisy at all. Just a little compression from being in your pocket and the bits don't move much.

It's a neat looking idea! I'll be interested to see how it performs in the field

I use a coin purse to carry bits in. Not the flat bits. 1. I like the organizer they come in. 2. I don't yet have any.

Everyone should get a Skinth

Seriously tho, that's a very cool idea, I like it

Thanks all. I am on day 4 of EDC in my front pocket. Very comfortable and I forget that it's there. Unfortunately I haven't had any bit kit jobs lately. Missed my chance last week when a coworker needed a small torx to disassemble a hard drive.

I like how nice it looks when folded up, and what kind of material is used to make this? I usually see similar kind of boxing for cookies/sweets, and most used card box paper.

It's made from leather, so it's quite durable and you won't get poked by the bits. The thickness is not bad either. Day 5 EDC, no bits have escaped yet! Rides very smooth in the pocket.
