Youtube reviewer Jon Gadget
on: July 20, 2021, 04:18:58 PM
Jon Gadget ("Jonathan") is a new Youtube reviewer who just started his channel in December, 2020, and has only 5,500 subscribers.  By the quality of his reviews, you would think that he has 1M subscribers - and I would not be surprised if he did some day.  Jonathan has a 25 year history in the gadget and EDC industry, having created The Gadget Shop and RED5 retail outlets in the UK with over 100 stores.  And that's just the beginning of his impressive resume.  I just thought I would bring him to your attention.  He has quickly become my favorite Youtube reviewer in the EDC/MT/SAK/gear genre.  Maybe its because English chaps just naturally sound smarter than everyone else.

His EDC videos tend to be quite reasonable -- stuff that you might regularly find yourself wanting to have with you.

It's refreshing these days considering so many videos include many hundreds or even thousands of dollars worth of "everyday carry" that they probably rarely carry. It's more an exercising in selling lifestyle/product.  :pok:

Reasonable to carry yes, but reasonable in price... I wouldn't go that far, the man like Bellroy  :ahhh

I recall going in gadget shops as a lad, they were neat but always a little pricey and there wasn't one near me. The kind of shop you always look forward to having a wander around.

The gadget shops preceded the interwebs.  Its hard to think about, and a little frightening, to recall that we actually had to go to stores back then to buy stuff.  <shudder>  Now we can compare the price and selection of a dozen vendors when looking for a new toy.
