Taylor Knives Flapjacks TT-Sux Multi-Tool Push-Up and Clip Review: A Handcrafted EDC Organizer Worth a Look

Introduction

The Taylor Knives Flapjacks TT-Sux Multi-Tool Push-Up and Clip (Two-Tone) is an EDC organizer you clip to your belt, built to carry a multi-tool, a pen, and a flashlight in one handcrafted leather package. It is available in three colorways: solid black, a two-tone dark brown leather, and the two-tone medium brown version covered here. On any two-tone brown leather version, the pen pocket is always solid black.

At first glance it is not obvious whether this kind of organizer belongs in your daily carry. After spending real time with it on a belt, the picture becomes much clearer, and this review walks through exactly what fits, what does not, and who should consider it.

Who This Product Is For

The Flapjacks suits anyone who regularly carries a multi-tool, a flashlight, and a pen and wants them organized on the belt rather than scattered in pockets. It is especially appealing if you value handcrafted leather goods and minimal branding: the only marking is a small logo on the leather strap.

It is also a good match for Leatherman owners specifically, because a wide range of Leatherman multi-tools fit the holster well. If you prefer to remove the organizer easily rather than threading your belt through it, the clip design is a genuine advantage over belt-loop style alternatives.

Build Quality and Design

Everything is handcrafted from Wickett and Craig full grain leather and made in the USA. The leather is not ultra soft; it has a noticeable stiffness that actually works in its favor for gear that rides on your belt all day. The two-tone styling is thoughtfully executed, with medium brown leather paired with black thread on one side and black leather with brown thread elsewhere, creating a pleasing contrast.

The multi-tool pocket uses a single strap with a snap to lock your tool firmly in place. A small cutout at the bottom lets you push the multi-tool up and grab it from the top easily, which matters because the fit is quite snug. Taylor Knives recommends removing pocket clips from most tools, though some fit fine with the clip on.

The belt clip accepts belts up to 1.75 inches and has very strong tension, so there is little worry about it falling off. The long lip at the end of the clip makes it easy to get a finger underneath to lift it off despite that tension. The one caveat: the clip is long enough that it dug into the hip during very long wear sessions of 13 to 14 hours in ordinary jeans. Depending on your jeans thickness, this may or may not affect you.

What Fits: Multi-Tools

The multi-tool holster accommodated an impressively wide range of Leathermans in testing:

• Leatherman Signal fits, even with its unusually flat pocket clip left on, snapped in securely.
• Leatherman Wave (standard, not Wave Plus) fits without the pocket clip. It is a tight fit, which is where the push-up cutout earns its keep.
• Leatherman Skeletool fits very nicely.
• Leatherman Bond fits almost perfectly; it feels like the organizer was made for it.
• Leatherman Curl fits like a glove once the pocket clip is removed.
• Leatherman Wingman fits even with the pocket clip on, turned backwards.
• Leatherman FREE K2 technically fits without the clip and snaps shut, though it sits a bit oddly at the bottom and the locking mechanism makes retrieval slightly awkward.
• Leatherman FREE P4 fits very snugly without a pocket clip.
• Leatherman Charge Titanium fits without the clip, but this large, heavy tool fills the pocket out dramatically and takes some effort.

What Fits: Flashlights

The flashlight pocket is rated for lights up to 0.91 inches in diameter, and tested examples confirm the range:

• Olight M1T Raider Plus fits perfectly even with the pocket clip on, with room to spare.
• Olight Baton Pro fits slightly more snugly but definitely fits.
• Fenix E28R EDC fits nicely without the pocket clip; the larger head keeps it from falling through.
• Olight Warrior Mini 2 fits without the pocket clip and is arguably the perfect carry light for this organizer: easy in, easy out, and the head prevents it slipping through.

Lights with thick tail switches are the problem case. The Klarus XT2CR Pro and the Olight M2R Warrior Pro both have tail switches too large to pass through the opening and will not fit. Keeping a pocket clip on smaller lights is also a practical tip, since slim-bodied lights can otherwise fall right through.

What Fits: Pens

The pen pocket favors one-piece pens rather than pens with removable caps, since a cap can come off inside the pocket and become lodged. Tested results:

• Machine Era Markup fits absolutely perfectly with its screw-on cap.
• Tactile Turn Bolt Action (short version, 5.1 inches) fits well, though the bolt can catch on the leather when pushing it down. At this length it does not hang below the multi-tool pocket, which looks tidy.
• Tactile Turn Bolt Action (standard bronze) fits, but the bolt catches on the pocket and it hangs a bit lower than ideal.
• Essential Precision Products copper bolt action pen fit surprisingly well, lining up its bolt with the gap in the leather, though it also hangs slightly long.
• Olight Open is extremely thick; it technically fits if forced in, but jamming it in risks stretching the leather, so it is not recommended.

The short 5.1-inch Tactile Turn and the Machine Era Markup come across as near-perfect pen companions for this organizer.

Other Versions and Buying Advice

Taylor Knives also makes a mini version of the Flapjacks that handles much smaller flashlights such as the Olight i5T, and a version you thread your belt through. The threaded version sacrifices quick removal, which is why the clip version is the more versatile pick for most people.

Before buying, check your everyday tools against the fit list above: multi-tool owners with a Leatherman Bond, Wingman, or Signal are in great shape, while owners of thick-tailed flashlights should verify their light fits within the 0.91 inch limit. If you work long shifts in thin jeans, be aware the clip can press into your hip over very long wear.

Conclusion

The Flapjacks TT-Sux Multi-Tool Push-Up and Clip is a beautifully handcrafted, made-in-USA EDC organizer with strong clip tension, thoughtful details like the push-up cutout and snap strap, and proven compatibility with a wide range of Leatherman multi-tools, compact flashlights, and one-piece pens. Its main trade-offs are a clip long enough to dig into the hip on marathon wear days and a snug fit that rewards checking your specific gear first. For anyone who wants their daily tools organized on the belt in quality leather, it is an easy recommendation.
