When working your average desk job, you can usually get away with using most pieces of everyday carry gear, as the day-to-day rigors of commuting to and from the office isn’t all that extreme. For those that turn wrenches at a shop or swing a hammer at a build site, however, a more rugged array of kit is typically required in order to stand up to the potential abuse stemming from working with your hands. And it’s this breed of ultra-hardwearing kit that we’ve assembled for this handpicked everyday carry loadout; Job Site. In addition to being incredibly hardwearing, every entry on this list also offers multiple functions or uses — further upping their conductivity to EDC whether used out in the field, in the shop, or at the job site.
