In an ocean of everyday carry (EDC) options, making a mark takes more than just savvy branding; it requires a fusion of passion, innovation, and masterful craftsmanship. Meet Gear Infusion, a family-owned venture helmed by Brian and Danielle, whose narrative is as captivating as the tools they produce. From their home workshop, Brian and Danielle, with help from their son are on a mission to design exceptional tools that excel in both functionality and durability.
The Gear Infusion story began with a deep-rooted fascination for how things work—a childhood spent deconstructing household gadgets and piecing together imaginative builds with K’nex. This curiosity blossomed into a fulfilling engineering career, yet Brian longed to create something uniquely his own—an embodiment of both form and function. This vision gave rise to Gear Infusion, a brand dedicated to crafting innovative EDC tools that simplify life instead of complicating it.

GhostTi: The Tactical Game-Changer
An innovative gem in Gear Infusion’s arsenal is the GhostTi. The GhostTi knife combines cutting-edge safety features with innovative design, making it an ideal choice for everyday carry. Its advanced dual lock safety system utilizes a mechanical cantilever beam and a powerful magnetic lock to keep the blade securely in place until you’re ready to use it, providing confidence even when the mechanical lock is disengaged.
With the ability to swap blades in under five seconds, GhostTi ensures you’re always prepared for your next task. Crafted from grade 5 titanium, it is ultra-light yet feels substantial in hand, striking the perfect balance between style and functionality.
So lightweight that you might forget it’s in your pocket, the magnetic body allows for convenient storage on metal surfaces, keeping this reliable tool always within easy reach. For those who enjoy fidgeting, the gravity drop closure is sure to satisfy the requirements.

The Pry.Me Titanium Bottle Opener: Mighty in Miniature
The first product in Gear Infusion’s lineup is the Pry.Me affectionately known as “the world’s smallest bottle opener.” Made from Grade 5 Titanium, this pint-sized powerhouse is no bigger than a penny, yet boasts an incredible strength-to-weight ratio, supporting an astonishing 164,000 times its own weight. Its sleek, minimalist design doesn’t just complement your keychain; it elevates it.
What truly sets the Pry.Me apart is its versatility. Whether you’re kicking back at a barbecue or cracking open a cold one after an adventure, this tiny titan is always ready at a moment’s notice. And when it’s not in use, you’ll hardly feel its presence—perfectly embodying the philosophy of carrying more with less.
Just like the innovative design of PRY.ME, Brew Soldier offers an effortless way to stay prepared without the bulk of traditional tools. Brew Soldier blends seamlessly into your keyring, staying perfectly disguised until duty calls. Designed to be the same size and thickness as a standard key, it remains camouflaged until it’s time to step up and get the job done. Excitingly, a new Brew Soldier is currently being designed to include Xtra tools while maintaining its minimalistic design.

Future Innovations: The Full-Sized Pry Bar and Frame Lock Pocket Knife
In addition to their current offerings, Brian has hinted at exciting future projects that include a full-sized pry bar and a frame lock pocket knife. Though still in the design phase, both tools are expected to incorporate extra features that align with the Gear Infusion philosophy of merging functionality and innovative design, promising to provide users with even more versatile solutions for everyday challenges.

The Craftsmanship Behind Gear Infusion
What truly sets Gear Infusion apart transcends innovative designs. Each tool carries the essence of meticulous craftsmanship. While the cutting of the tools is outsourced, once complete, they undergo an intensive process of tumbling, blasting, lasering, cleaning, assembling, and packaging—often with the involvement of their four-year-old son. This hands-on approach not only guarantees quality but also reflects the values of a family business that prioritizes excellence.
Brian’s choice of Titanium is noteworthy. Renowned for its incredible strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to scratches, Titanium affords a myriad of finishing options through anodizing—a process Gear Infusion is proud to execute alongside industry leaders like Notorious EDC and OEGEDC, who share a robust presence in the EDC community.
Conclusion: A Bright Future Up Ahead
Though still in the early chapters of its journey, Gear Infusion’s commitment to challenging the norm and elevating everyday tools is evident in every creation. With an unwavering passion for simplicity and functionality, Brian and his family are poised to continue their mission of crafting tools that empower problem-solvers and adventurers alike.
For anyone seeking to enhance their EDC experience, Gear Infusion is more than just a brand; it’s a testament to family values, ingenuity, and the relentless pursuit of excellence in design. Embrace the fusion of tradition and innovation with Gear Infusion, where every tool is a step toward simplifying life and elevating your everyday carry.

That mini ratchet looks neat, never seen anything like it.
It works amazingly for the size too.
Love the everratchet tool. I currently have a multi tool key ring attached and it’s used surprisingly regularly. This looks like a step up indeed.
Definitely an upgrade lol
I have to state re: ‘everyday carry’, that l never thought much about such a premise, vis-a-vis improving on such quotidian things as card holders, key chains, cutting instruments and basic tools. So it was with coinsiderable curiosity I read the article and have come to learn some valuable information and moreover insights, about how there are daily-use items with more effecacy and less mass, etc., i.e., better design. Thanks to the innovators for the ‘spark’ and the reporters for the ‘focus’.
Im impressed
