Condor Sidekick Pouch, MA64-002

I bought the Sidekick pouch to use as an EDC pouch, and it worked for that. But I later switched to another pouch for my EDC. Then I saw where a mini tool kit was built using a small pouch. Since I already had the Sidekick, I decided to try it, using the other kit as a guide for the tools. I had a few small tools, but I had to buy some others. My existing tools were too big in most cases.The kit includes 5 small zip ties, a length of light cord on a card, a sewing bobbin with fishing line and a bobbin with heavy sewing thread, several feet of duct tape and several feet of red, white and black electrician tape - both on cards, 6-foot tape measure, 6-inch ruler, roll of thin wire, a lighter, a set of Allen wrenches, 4-inch Crescent wrench, Knipex adjustable pliers, a driver handle with flat and Phillips heads and a 1/4” socket driver, needle-nose pliers with wire cutter, 5-inch Vice Grips, small pry bar, Tops survival saw, Commando jeweler file set and Commando small screwdriver set - blades in the tubes, two small drill bits (that fit in the Commando handles), a 1/8” drill bit with hex bit end, a Topeak mini ratchet with extender that can hold hex bits or small sockets, set of small sockets, set of screwdriver bits, LED flashlight, Leatherman Squirt PS4 multi tool, notepad (in front pocket), pencil.The original kit had a pair of wire strippers. I couldn’t find one small enough, so I substituted the needle nose pliers. I need to add a couple of large sewing needles that could be used with the Commando handles. The drill bits are really useful only on soft materials or for starting a hole for screws. One missing item is a hammer. Any useful hammer would be too big for this kit. But since this kit would go in my vehicle, I have space for a small hammer in the storage compartment.The pouch is 5.5 x 7 x 3” (when loaded). I have no trouble zipping the pouch closed. Fully loaded, the kit weighs 2.9 pounds. The MOLLE straps on the front and sides allow for other small items to be attached if needed.This kit is for small or emergency jobs on the road. But it could be used for small jobs around the house.Overall, this is a good pouch for what I needed. I have several other Condor pouches. I believe them to be quality products.

5 minutes after opening the package and I already love it. Super useful as a small admin pouch on a plate carrier. The front pocket is nice and padded to protect the interior, making it good for holding a cell phone.Perfectly holds folded maps, pens, grease pencils, notebooks, spare batteries, spare mags, really anything that a tactical team member would need on the job.I will probably get a few more of these to use on the side of my plate carrier, as even when they're full, they still don't stick out too much, making movement fairly easy.I'll probably have one for some small medical supplies (tourniquet, emergency bandage, quick clot, etc.), and another for small tools (electrical tape, pliers, small screwdriver kit, wire strippers/cutters, etc.)The possibilities with this pouch are pretty much endless.My co-worker bought the same thing from tactical tailor, and paid about 3.5x what I paid.As usual, condor comes through with a great product that will last a long time. Stitching is top notch, it has plenty of elastic storage inside, and molle webbing on the sides, which could easily be used for a small flashlight, carabiner with flex cuffs, glow stick, etc.Heavy duty Velcro on the front for mounting morale patches, seems like it will last quite a while of use.The double zipper is very strong, and while it is not waterproof, it will definitely keep your stuff dry in the rain. The drain hole in the bottom is a nice touch for any water that builds up while you've got it open.I'm not going to be like many others and take stars away for stuff that I want that isn't included (I read the description thoroughly), but I will say that it would be nice to have a Velcro flap over the outside zipper so it doesn't clank around while running. I'd also like the outside pocket flap to be a bit sturdier so you can use it as a wiring surface for marking maps, etc. but it's nothing a small piece of sheet metal won't fix.TL/DR: A great piece of equipment that fills it's niche quite nicely, at a great price.

I use this pack for my preschooler's type 1 diabetes supplies. It's small enough to fit easily inside a backpack/diaper bag, but big enough (and well organized enough) to hold our red glucagon AND baqsimi, glucometer/lancer/test strips, honey straws, glucose tabs, Pedialyte powder, syringes, glucose gel, backup battery pack, and lots of other stuff I forget. We also ordered a velcro patch from Etsy that says "Type 1 Diabetic: Insulin Dependent". Super durable, I love it. The only thing I would note is that I immediately cut off the cords because they just got in the way— but that's not a reason to dislike the pouch, they're there if you want them, and easily removed if you don't.
