Tools and Hardware Reviews of the Nite Ize PIM-03-01 Mini Pock-Its Handy Clip-On Tool and Gear Carrier, Black
Tool Review: Too big to not have enough space...
Summary: 3 Stars
Another in a string of Nite Ize holsters that appear to be dimensionless (no concrete evidence of the physical size posted anywhere online).
Empty dimensions are SIX & 1/2 INCHES tall, 3" W at the back, and 1.25" D, not counting the belt clip that is another 1/2" deep. The pockets taper to a round bottom shaped by the seam, the outermost is 4.25" H and the inner is 5.25" H.
Caveats:
- NOT ENOUGH SPACE. When I put my Leatherman tool (4" H, 1" W, 3/8" D) in the outer (shorter) pocket, then put my paracord-tethered Cree C3 flashlight (3.75" H, 3/4" D round) in the rear pocket, I can no longer remove my Leatherman easily. Very annoying. Surprisingly, what I got it for was said Leatherman tool and a butane lighter (3" H x 1" W x 1/2" D) and with those two inside, the pockets are too deep to reach them comfortably/quickly.
- Between seams, the top of the outer pocket is 3.75" W material, rounded to contour to something being placed in it. The problem is the hook/loop end of the velcro is on THAT part, not the lid, and it spans that whole 3.75". Since the soft part of the velcro on the lid is only 3/4" H x 1.75" W rounded, expect to pick up a LOT of lint on the hook/loop end.
- As with the Pock-Its Plus, it's bigger than it seems in the picture, and not in a useful way. As EDC on a belt it just looks stupid.
- Very simple hook/loop-fastened holster; no rotating belt clip.
Definite pros:
- The material and seams are strong, as always.
Summary:
I don't know if I'd ever end up using this, and unfortunately probably resell it on eBay.
