It might have a name that could raise eyebrows with some people (be careful when you search the internet for it), but the MicroDickPick is a handy addition to your EDC. With a deceptively simple design, it performs several functions without weighing you down.
The Unique MicroDickPick EDC Tool
The MicroDickPick is from Wingard Wearables. We’ve previously reviewed another of their EDC options, the Quill. The owner of the company is Zac Wingard. He has a creative and innovative eye for tool design. Wingard Wearables has been around for a little while, but they seem to fly under the radar a bit.
MicroDickPick Specs
The MicroDickPick is made from 0.1875-inch AEB-L stainless steel. It’s been heat-treated to 55-60 Rockwell. It’s left in a rectangular cross-section. The edges are hand-filed to provide a nice, comfortable grip. The MicroDickPick is sharp, but only where it’s supposed to be.
It runs 4.625 inches long. Across the hammer end, it’s 2.625 inches. All told, it weighs 1.2 ounces on my scale.
The Wingard Wearables MicroDickPick comes with a Kydex sheath. The sheath has shock cords and strong alligator clips. These are used to attach it just about anywhere on your clothing, such as inside a jacket. This keeps it easily accessible. The eyelets on the sheath are compatible with most aftermarket carry clips, should you wish to go that route.
There are two larger models. The Full-sized DickPick is 6.5 inches long and 3.0 inches across, and the DickPick Magnum is a full 12 inches long and 4.5 inches across.
MicroDickPick Uses
The long end terminates in a needle-sharp point. This makes it a nifty marlinspike option. Need to pick apart a stubborn knot? Pry up an O-ring? Punch a hole in a leather belt? The MicroDickPick is there to lend a hand.
At the opposite end is sort of a hammer and pry bar combination. The tool has a curved surface, providing leverage when you’re prying things apart. This, combined with a comparatively long handle, gives you more leverage and power than you may think.
The hammer face is small, and the tool is very light, so you’re not going to be assembling furniture with it. That said, it taps small parts into place just fine.
MicroDickPick for Defense
In most defense situations, a weapon that goes bang will be ideal. As a secondary option, the MicroDickPick can be used defensively in a few different ways.
Holding it with the pry bar in your palm and the spike jutting out from your closed fingers turns it into a nifty punch dagger of sorts. You can also reverse it into an icepick grip, with the pry bar resting between your fingers. This allows you to hammer fist the spike down into a target or rake the pry bar across the face of an attacker.
Like the Quill, the MicroDickPick (as well as its larger brothers) is a unique EDC concept that has several applications. Wingard Wearables takes an outside-the-box approach to their designs, and this one is definitely a winner.
Find it at Wingard Wearables. It currently retails for $105.
