However, my biggest problem with this bundle is that you now had to keep these two tools together in order to have a complete compact survival kit, and the likelihood of losing one or the other greatly increased. The compass was pretty good, nothing to write home about, but decent.

Survival multi tool full size#
This combination pack features the compact survival card (SVC2) plus a full size oil-filled, acrylic compass. So, instead of making a third version of the Survival Card multi-tools, they decided to instead bundle the SVC2 with a full sized compass in the CXA33 bundle. The LED light added to the Survival Card 2 was a great addition, but there were complaints about the compass being removed. If you don’t think you would need the mini compass or magnifying glass of the SVC1 multi-purpose survival card, and would prefer to have some sort of illumination, then you definitely should go with the SVC2 credit card sized survival tool. There’s also the same metal tweezers and plastic toothpick included as well as the hole for lanyard attachment. The battery is replaceable, but you do need to use a small jeweler’s screwdriver to remove the battery cover. The LED light is extremely bright, and red LED’s are designed to use less energy than white LED’s, so the battery should last longer. What separates this from its predecessor is, instead of including the mini compass and magnifying lens, it comes with a brilliant red LED flashlight.

Survival multi tool skin#
You won’t be using it to skin a deer, but when it comes to tasks you might need a knife for when backpacking or camping, like cutting cords or feathering matches, it’s more than adequate. The knife is actually pretty comfortable to use with two fingers. It offers the same serrated knife made out of tough AUS 8A type stainless steel, a magnesium alloy fire starter, and a loud signal whistle. The Survival Card 2 is the successor to the original Survival Card and it too is packed with lifesaving features. The Survival Card 1 is discontinued and no longer available at most retailers, but you can still find them here. Keep the Survival Card with you and you’ll always be prepared for life’s unforeseen emergencies. This essential tool kit deserves a place in your car, backpack, tackle box and even your home. I wouldn’t go hiking, camping or hunting without one and I consider it one of the best multi-tools for backpacking. Also, with the great addition of including a hole for lanyard attachment, it’s easy to wear or carry with you whenever you head out into the great outdoors. It’s still the same size as a credit card and weighs less than two ounces. Like the CCSB1, it also comes with an 8x power magnifying lens, compass, tweezers and toothpick. The SVC1 forgoes the bottle opener and screwdrivers in favor of a magnesium alloy fire starter, and loud signal whistle. The first thing that you’ll notice is that it offers a new skeletonized, serrated knife made of tough stainless steel. The Survival Card 1 is the first revision to the credit card companion and was designed to be packed with lifesaving features. That way, you can have survival tools on you at all times. The one thing all Tool Logic® multi-tools have in common, is that they’re all designed to be as small as a credit card. Multi-tools come in a wide variety of configurations and sizes. It’s one of those tools that you shove in your glove box or backpack and kind of forget about.īut that one time you find yourself in some unexpected circumstances, and the difference between peril and success is having a knife or screwdriver available, then a having a multi-tool with you can be a godsend. Just about everyone should have a multi-tool in their tool collection. earns a commission from purchases made through links in this post.
