Pry bars are a hot topic in the EDC community. You’re either a believer in their utility or part of the crowd that sees them as a fleeting trend, arguing that a screwdriver or similar tool can handle the same tasks. The skepticism makes sense—we went decades without carrying pry bars and managed just fine. But times change, and so do needs. One of the main drivers behind their popularity is the tendency for people to misuse knives for tasks like prying, often snapping the blade. Enter the pry bar: a "blade saver" that’s become a staple, appreciated for its versatility. From opening boxes and cans of paint to popping out window screens, a simple flat piece of steel or alloy has transformed into an indispensable tool.

Roxon has always been a brand with an eye for innovation, and with the Flex series, they’ve accomplished something truly groundbreaking—the modular multitool. For decades, DIY enthusiasts and tool hobbyists have dreamt of a multitool that could be customized to fit their specific needs, rather than just accepting a fixed set of tools where some might be redundant or unnecessary. With the Flex, Roxon created an adaptable system that quickly won fans in the multitool community. Now, they’ve refined and reimagined that concept with the Flex Companion, a compact, customizable multitool designed for users who don’t need pliers every day but still want a reliable toolkit in their pocket.

When it comes to everyday carry (EDC), the goal is to carry gear that meets your daily needs. For some, this means a consistent setup; for others, EDC evolves daily, adapting to new tasks and challenges. This evolution has given rise to a world of gear tailored to countless scenarios. Some people embrace minimalism, while others believe in carrying everything—including the kitchen sink.

This shifting mindset has pushed manufacturers to develop tools for specific tasks or users, whether hikers, skateboarders, or generalists. Many companies follow the “more is better” philosophy, cramming multitools with features to suit as many people as possible. But what if your tools could adapt to your needs? Enter Windeler, a UK-based company reimagining how we interact with tools.
