Making sure you have the right gear for any outing or situation can be a daunting task. One item I consistently find a need for is good illumination. It doesn’t matter if it’s broad daylight or you’re broken down in the desert with a car full of groceries. Any light is better than none, but having the right light makes those situations a lot easier. I gravitate toward lights that are comfortable in the pocket while still packing a reasonable amount of power. Some days a light lives in my pocket, other days it gets tossed into a glove box, so weight is always a concern. I don’t want an anchor that’s annoying to carry or awkward to actuate.

Some lights are built like tactical tanks, others like elegant torches — and then there’s the Nitecore TINI 3. This tiny keychain flashlight looks like it belongs on a novelty USB stick, yet it kicks out up to 600 lumens, offers multiple color temperatures, and even has an OLED screen. It’s a pocket-sized nerd dream come true — and possibly the most overqualified thing you’ve ever hung on a keyring.

For those who prioritize usability in an everyday carry flashlight, the Nitecore EDC23 offers a seamless experience with intuitive controls, a practical design, and reliable performance. Let’s break down what makes this flashlight stand out from the crowd.

What kind of people would write collect and review multitools? Quite simple really- we are designers and do-ers, outdoors types and indoor types, mechanics, doctors, problem solvers and problem makers. As such, we have, as a world spanning community, put every type, size and version of multitool, multifunction knife, pocket knife and all related products to every test we could manage in as many places and environments as there are.
