updated everyday carry still rocking the Wave hard, and today is a work day, so the cheap casio watch is worn but since my wreck I have been carrying one of my swisscards by victorinox. Keep toothpicks in my truck (as well as the card), so not having the truck means no easy access to the toothpick. really I just carry it for the toothpick - man when you need one and dont have one...that sucks.
been pretty broke, so no need for a wallet, just some cash, my ID, swisscard, and work schedule folded around it all with a rubberband keeping it together wallet stays in my TimBuk2 bag in the car

Curious what vehicles you drive and what sorts of mpg you get in them
I am considering trading my SUV in on something used that will get better mpg Im sure I am leaving out options to explore, this is where you come in just say what you got, maybe its something that I'll be interested in and can research further
You mention how two handed operation is no good...but how can you use only one hand to free these items from your dangler? Seems it would also be a two handed approach with s-biners etc on them
Yes very true. A quick release would be the only way to pull an individual item of the caribiner, or the GP. And the qr on the Biner would be easier to access since it's already on the outside as opposed to in your pocket. I'm trying to design a dangler with qr capability now but hanging length is a stubborn problem. Plus I'm not sure removal is necessary. But it does help with some items, like pens.
In the end I never solved that problem, but in pocket carry is still a better option for me because I don't like to make noise as I walk. Belt loop stability is another persistent prob for biners that danglers don't have. Swivels and quick releases, that's what's next.
Thanks for your thorough reading! G
Im not trying to be a dick, but its crappy to knock other methods for a 'flaw' that your own item has just saying

I voted maybe I am a brand whore, and like quality...but some things dont have to be that nice really, or the quality between knockoff and original arent that much different.
I can not justify spending 2x+ on the "original" when I'll be just as happy with a knockoff
multitools, bags, knives...yes, stay with the original small stuff - I dont care
Although I know there are carabiners out there less prone to snagging, there is another issue I have with this carry method; Unless you have some kind of quick release on the items themselves you still need to remove the whole carabiner or at minimum open the gate to retrieve what you need, which becomes a two hand operation, not cool.
