Kodak EC35

The Kodak EC35 is the most affordable Kodak-branded 35mm film camera. It’s positioned as an even more affordable option than the brand’s $99 Snapic A1, which was released in late 2025. The EC35 packs a 25mm lens with a fixed f/10 aperture and fixed 1/100 second shutter speed. It features a slide cover for protecting the lens, as well as a built-in flash (AA batteries required). And it takes Kodak Ultramax 400 film (sold separately). Obviously, the Kodak EC35 is designed for those who want to take their first stab at shooting 35mm without breaking the bank. The EC35 comes in seven fun colors.

Makeduo A/B Pen

A pen is an essential tool everyone should have in their EDC loadout. But what if you could get double the capabilities out of the same in-pocket real estate? That’s what Makeduo’s A/B Pen offers. Taking up about the same space as a single writing utensil, this magnetic device opens into two completely independent pens, which can have their ink cartridges customized for additional versatility. Furthermore, they’re machined from T6-6061 aluminum, so they’re also incredibly lightweight and tough as nails.

2026 Shelby F-150 Super Snake SuperCrew

Shelby’s F-150 Super Snake SuperCrew gives the four-door Ford pickup the street-ready pickup tune it deserves. Based on the Lariat 4×4, 5.0-liter V8 SuperCrew, the Shelby Super Snake comes standard with 400 horsepower, but an optional supercharger boosts the total to 810. What’s more, it rides on a Shelby-exclusive adjustable lowered suspension setup featuring KING adjustable coilover shocks and traction bars that keep the rear in place. Pricing starts at $140,795 for the supercharged version.

CRKT Drifter Liner Lock Limited Edition

While it might not be everyone’s cup of tea, CRKT’s latest spin on an affordable flipper merits mention for being bold and fresh for the brand, in a Supreme kind of way. The fan-favorite Drifter retains its 2.88-inch drop-point blade, with its reliable D2 steel getting a protective Cerakote finish that pops in logo-laden blue and pink. Meanwhile, an ambidextrous thumb stud, IKBS ball bearing and easy-access liner lock ensure swift, smooth one-handed deployment and retraction, a matching textured, ergonomic G10 handle helps you get a grip and a deep tip-down clip makes pocket carry a snap.

Eck Design TriReso

If you haven’t considered a safety whistle as part of your EDC load-out, this new release may make you change your mind. Eck Design’s new TriReso is a modular rescue whistle system that can be used as a single unit thanks to integrated magnets, or split into three and shared amongst a group. The handy, minimal new tool’s multi-whistle design, with each unit tuned for a specific environment, allows it to produce sound levels of up to 120 dB, with a multi-frequency signal spanning 3,600 Hz to 4,800 Hz, which means it’s easier to hear everywhere. Available in titanium and aluminum versions, the TriReso weighs less than an ounce for the aluminum version and 1.2 ounces for the titanium variant. Its Kickstarter campaign has 22 days to go, and once it is funded, units are expected to ship in October.
