Who else loves free EDC gear? Every week or so, we'll be giving away prize packages full of interesting gear we get our hands on, or very special single item prizes for you to win.

This week, we're giving away a minimal set of essentials that still manages to cover all your bases. You can win a multitool and utility blade for your keychain, a customized lighter, an advanced focusable flashlight, and a slim wallet for the rest of your daily necessities.

We’ll run the giveaway for a week. Good luck everyone, and carry on! Congratulations to Joel S., winner of our previous Essentials Worth Holding Onto giveaway.

Make sure you're logged in, then head over to our giveaway page for your chance to win the following:

  • Capsule Wallet in Cognac: This wallet takes on a familiar cardholder form factor like other minimalist wallets do, but its signature cash strap lets you carry once-folded cash (a functionality sorely missing from others in its class). It's simple, efficient, lightweight, and easily accessible. For a cardholder silhouette with money clip-esque function, this is the wallet to slip in your front pocket. ($85)

  • Screwpop Utility Knife 2.0: Another useful gadget in Screwpop's line of keychain gear, this Utility Knife gets an upgrade for both safety and functionality. A magnet on the reverse side keeps the utility blade in place and conveniently sticks to surfaces you might be working on. It's handy for simple box breakdowns or precision work where a full-on folding knife might not be necessary. ($15)

  • The Tin Mill Duo: Whereas so many other multitools are touted as "one piece" solutions, the Duo is technically two. Each half of the duo is its own one-piece multitool that fits within the other for a streamlined keychain carry. Separating them gives you access to various wrenches, a box opener, screwdriver, and scale. ($19)

  • Silver Piston Nickel Zippo Lighter: This customized Zippo lighter is a beautiful embodiment of classic Americana. It's the same functional windproof lighter you'd want to slip in your coin pocket, but made one of a kind. A cut-out buffalo nickel is soldered on and oxidized by hand, resulting in a unique daily essential item that'll only take on more character the more you use it. ($90)

  • Coast HP3R Rechargeable Focusable Pen Light: A 245 max lumen flashlight in a slim penlight formfactor. Unlike most lights, the HP3R can focus the beam for close-up and long-range work. To top it off, its included lithium ion battery can be recharged right inside the light via micro USB. ($95)

Prize Package Value: $305
