I've added a CAT tourniquet and a professional lock pick kit to my EDC backpack. Since I've learned to pick open locks I've used my kit dozens of times for totally legit reasons.
What have you used lockpicks for? Just curious.

So it’s been a while. Have you added or subtracted from your edc.
Me, I carry a j frame with at least two reloads a flashlight and some kind of lock back knife and a SAK of some kind. A handkerchief is a must and of course a smartphone with an extremely large monthly bill attached.
Plain and simple, you should know what your EDC should be just by habit of what you carry. I don't plan on getting myself put in handcuffs, so I don't need a handcuff key. I never use chapstick, so why would I carry it? Also, I work in the city, so there is food everywhere. The only "food" in my bag is some chewy granola bars and hot chocolate; No need for MRE's.
Knowledge and training is more important than the doodads in your pockets. Having a plan is something very important.
Whether my plan consists of going make more coffee or taking a poop, is something I should plan my EDC around. #firstworldproblems
Plus 1 to the battery charger and lock pick set. Doesn’t take much time at all and saves the homeowner a destroyed door and or jamb.

Why a lockpick set and why a handcuff key? And how/where do people carry both?
some pants like 511 have hiden pockets for keys like that in waste line... never know when you are LE and get caught off guard and over taken and handcuffed with your on cuffs and they are smart enough to take your keys lol

I can see a reason for cops, both on and off duty, to carry an extra handcuff key or even keys. But I can't see a scenario where a non-LE individual has a use for handcuff keys...or lock picks.
what if they were an antifa edc? wouldnt they need one?

you know cause they tend to get put in hand cuffs alot... or no is what wrong
Let's not discuss those wackjobs here
But for an everyday normal dude, I have never seen a compelling argument for lockpicks or handcuff keys.
What is a tactical pen?
