Blackout Kit: Where to find reliable recommendations/reviews of equipment? (reddthat.com)

I've seen several good recommendations for what equipment I need, but I don't know who to trust for reliable products. For example, flashlights and multi-tools. I see a lot of flashlights on Amazon, but I don't know if one is "better" than another.

I'm wondering if there's a "you can't go wrong with these brands/models" that's available.

Leatherman multi tools.

I’ve been abusing mine for 15 years and it won’t die. I love it.

For multitools, I would also recommend SOG. I EDC a small PowerAssist EOD .

What I do not recommend is Gerber, at least not in the price class I bought. I got myself a Gerber Suspension and an Airlift in a set and both kind of suck for my purpose, maybe even for any purpose.

In terms of blades I'm intrigued by "local brands" Wolfgangs and Boker and as always mora. Anyhow, my next fixed blade will be a ESEE 4.
