Stuff And Things: The Clinch Wallet
Guys, I know there is a huge problem for all of us. I can address it as the Huge Damn Pain In The Ass.
The Huge Damn Pain In The Ass happens with only one thing...a new wallet. How many times have we sat only to find our posteriors in complete discomfort as we try to break in that new eelskin or the new sporty nylon wallets we get and you know as well as I do that, when they fall apart, and they always do, there's the joy and the pain of a new one. It's that fat lump in your butt that causes you to have hip alignment problems. Those cheap and crappy photo holders fall apart or the photo gets all jacked up from sitting in your wallet and all manner of crap goes into it...unless you're just a minimalist and, even then, that new wallet will kill you.
It's that break-in period that gets us, isn't it? Pain and suffering just don't become us.
What if there was a wallet that distributes everything evenly? What if there was one that you could put your stuff into and not have to worry about sitting on a lump? What if it would hold all your stuff securely and be less of a worry for you? What if that break in period was so unnoticeable that you could just use it immediately without even knowing it was there?
You can thank Louis Kiss. He made that possible.
Let me tell you a bit about him first. He's not only a Hollywood Stuntman and one hell of a guy but he's also a genius. If you haven't heard of him by now, you damn well better look him up and make friends with him because you can look forward to all kinds of pain in your butt if you haven't.
He also created The Grab-It Pack (available through www.thinkgeek.com or www.grabitpack.com) but that's not the object that I'm here to tell you about.
See, life is situational, you know. You can't always run around looking like a Han Solo/Snake Plissken lovechild so, you have to carry a wallet at times. Louis understands this as well and, as such, brought his genius to the table.
So what is this object that is so awesome that it's interchangeable for your professional as well as your personal life?

In brief, no more cheap, crappy plastic holders that turn your photos inside out and fall apart in the process, no more break in period that does nothing but bring you grief and everything is accessable within mere seconds of opening the wallet. Three main compartments hold your cash and passport and whatever else you want it to hold. The windows hold photos, IDs and even important business cards and those slots hold onto your credit cards without letting them go.
The thing's about $15 (roughly) but, take it from me...it's worth every penny.
Now...let's get down to it. You know I don't post about anything unless I've used it so let me give you my take on it.
I've had mine for less than a week and have done some sorting and resorting just based on how quickly I want to access my stuff and in order of priority. Now that I'm settled into it, it was broken in in less than 12 hours and without one iota of pain. Talk about awesome. Two of the credit card compartments were a little too small to fit something the size of a credit card in there BUT, I have two small tool cards that took those spots and it's filling my needs. That was the only problem I've had with it. Co-workers of mine and customers alike have been intrigued when I pull it out to grab one of my tool cards because they can't believe something that seems so big came out of my back pocket. Take it from me, unless you're a child, it will fit into that back pocket of yours.
The chain that comes with it is pretty light but, should it ever break, a new length of chain from a pet store and a couple of "S" hooks oughtta do just fine. Bottom line is that the thing is going to stick out of your back pocket...keep that chain on.
Keep that chain on, that is, unless you're using your Grab It Pack. Not surprisingly, the wallet's chain can be removed and you can pack it around inside your Grab It without it taking up too much space. So let's say you're like me and you like carrying around a PDA as well sometimes...now it's not going to bulge like you have a small gun in there.
With how awesome this thing is, it's time to ask yourself. Sure, $15 or so might seem a little steep but how's your endurance on that lump pressing itself painfully into your hip right now? Yeah, thought so.
Final Thoughts: The Grab It Pack was a hard act to follow but The Clinch Wallet has gone well beyond proving itself. If you were to liken the world of gear for lugging your essentials to wrestling....D-Generation X just formed and is taking the world by storm
