This is my EDC toolkit that lives in my daily bag. I had a larger one, but it was a bit overkill and too heavy, so this one seems to be a good solution. I’ll update with a full list of items, but might take me a while.
* Maxpedition Micro Pocket * Sanwa PS8A multimeter w/electrical tape * Sharpie * Modified Dr Slick XBC * DMM XSRE Carabiner & 4M of 750 paracord * Bosch wood and metal T-shank blades * Spare scalpel blade * Titanium scalpel * Zach Woods 3V Pen Pry * Leatherman bit extender * Bacho 1/4″ racheting bit holder * Leatherman bits (All the good ones) * Dr Slick small scissors * Knipex XS wrench pliers * Knipex XS cobra pliers * Leatherman Crunch * Lockpicks and door shim * Modified maglite solitaire and spare 12v battery * Needle and thread * Safety pins * Zip ties * Rubber & cloth sheet * 4M of 1.75mm Dyneema * Squirrel Bic * Modified fallkniven knife sharpener
What am I missing?
A lot of this is built around the Leatherman Crunch, it can be used as a driver with (or without) the bit extender. It can also be used as a handle for the T-Shank blades, and on top of that locking pliers are just ridiculously useful.
The solar powered multimeter, this is super handy if you ever have to diagnose some electrical fault and it’s small enough to juuust fit in the front of the pouch. I taped black and white electrical tape to the front to join wires in a pinch.
One super handy thing I found was to add a sheet of rubber to the kit, this is really helpful for getting extra grip on something you are trying to undo or tighten, and I think it could be fit into any similar tool kit with ease.
Another neat find is the XSRE carabiner, it weighs only 4 grams, and is actually properly rated for 4kn (400kg static load). I use two of these for my ultralight hammock setup!
My favourite and most used tool is probably my modified Dr Slick XBC forceps scissors. I took the paint off and ground off the screw driver tip to make it less pokey and nicer to handle. They are incredibly useful, a thin narrow and relatively long locking way to grip something is just ridiculously handy. Plus this scissors on them are *fantastic* and will cut through just about anything!
The flashlight is a lil nostalgia, but also the thinnest and lightest light I’m aware of. I modified in about 10 years ago, it uses a 5mm nichia LED and a tiny 12v battery. It’s actually pretty bright, but obviously has pretty terrible battery life. It’s less of a worry since I typically always have an EDC light on my person.
