TEC Accessories has been building small, overengineered EDC tools in the USA since 2004. TEC makes the pieces that solve the little annoyances of everyday carry, from a titanium highlighter to a pocket grappling hook to a clip that keeps a fat key fob from sagging in your pocket, and it machines them like they matter.
The HI-MARKR is a 3.88 inch stonewashed titanium highlighter and marker with a pocket clip, shipping with both a black ink and a yellow highlighter refill. Chisel tip modules and highlighter refill five packs keep it working for good, right alongside the EDC pens in your pocket. The RETREEV is a 2 7/8 inch pocket grappling hook that stores aluminum and stainless spikes inside its body and hides a rare earth magnet in the head for fishing keys out of drains and gaps.
TEC's proprietary Embrite glow pellet charges in sunlight or UV light and glows for as long as 12 hours, so your keys and zipper pulls are easy to find in the dark. The S3 wraps it in bead blasted stainless steel, and the A3 uses black anodized aluminum.
The P-7 suspension clip hooks over the top edge of your pocket and hangs a bulky key fob or light partway down, so it stops wearing a lump into the bottom of your jeans. It comes single or in two packs. The Python Clip replaces split rings with a gate clip whose guard keeps items from sliding under and popping it open. Both are among the smallest pieces in our accessories collection, engineered like they mattered.
