Steinwhale released 3 new double-ended stubby bit sets. Could be huge for some micro tool kit setups. The bit driver that comes with it too. Here's a bit of compatibility testing and other observations
Former EDC tools consolidated
I tried and tried to get into carrying a lot of tools on my person but for me it just works better to have tools close by and I vastly prefer tools that aren’t optimized for carry-ability. I took my various edc trinkets and put them in one oknife tool roll. Lots of cool stuff in here, but I’m over buying expensive edc specific stuff. (I’m looking at you lynch nw pry bar…) Wondering if this configuration will find more use for me.
Give me ideas for elevated front pocket carry
Lately I have been trying to edc a light, a knife, and a pen, but I really hate bulk in my front pockets. Organizers like this one seem like the way to go to make carrying more convenient. I have yet to find a better one for me than this one, but this one is a smidge too small for the bugout.
Give me your input/ideas
Arc company quickdraw case
Pilot hi tec c 0.4mm gel pen
Benchmade bugout mini custom in s90v
Convoy T6 flashlight
Front pocket pouch recommendation.
Looking for a front pocket pouch that can fit my leatherman arc, extra bits, and a flashlight. Looking at these options. What are your thoughts?

This is my daily “be ready for anything” kit —
from small repairs, tech fixes, outdoor needs, to emergency situations.
Compared to v1.0
- v1.0 → 34 items
- v2.0 → 54 items
- More complete, more practical, still compact
Previous version: MicroGyver Kit v1.0
I carry this every day in my pocket.
Still small — but now even more capable 🛠️🔥
P.S.
This kit is not meant to replace my main tools or full-size EDC.
It’s more of an all-in-one backup / micro problem-solving kit for unexpected situations. I still rotate and carry proper tools (multitool, knife, etc.) when needed — this just complements them in a compact form.

Maxpedition Beefy Kitchen Sink Kit
This kit solves 99.99% of any random situation I'd run across. It's heavy and not something you'll strap to your belt, but that's not what I'm going for. What I wanted in this kit that I've carried for a few years is something that lives in my vehicle most of the time, and comes with me in my travel bag when I go somewhere.
It's saved my hind end plenty of times...from roadside repairs, helping other people out, and just yesterday my widowed MIL needed help assembling some stuff she got on Amazon. We were visiting and all I had to do was run out to my car and grab the pouch and it made things simple. Not very much I can't do with what's in this kit and the weight/size is worth it. Driving down the road it lives on a PETG 3D printed headrest hook that I keep on the passenger headrest post.
Contents:
Klein 11-in-1

Bungee cords
Old debit card with more duct tape
Super 88 electrical tape
LED flashlight
Metric and standard hex keys
Metric and standard sockets for the ratchet or as a nut driver with the 11-1 Klein

Tiny pouch help !!
Hi
So ive been trying to find a small pouch to hang from my aer cpp2 to hold just my airpod pros nothing else but cant seem to find any that fit the job would prefer a nice edc style pouch but all seem to big! As i walk to work and traveling would like a way to quickly take out and put away my airpods without losing them
Recently found the one pictured above on amazon but still seems a little to big!
Is this the closest i will get or does anyone have any suggestions or other bags i do like the micro tote by alpaka and twelve south but cant seem a uk supplier!
Finally got my EDC tool kit pretty much complete and setup how I want it, after some trial and error
After trying a few different bags/pouches, I settled on this Amazon special.
It has plenty of room, the quality is decent, and it is cheap enough that if it wears out soon, I will just buy another. I also finally settled on my contents.
- Extendable mirror
- std and metric sockets (free from a cheap kit - the holders are surprisingly good) I put these in because they take up almost no space as well as having a couple of odd sizes that aren't in the klein set)
- Nebo Mini Larry 500
- Large rubber band
- Mini sharpie
- Ballpoint pen (Uni Power Tank Ballpoint Pen - 0.7 mm - Blue)
- Knipex twin grip
- mini flush cutters
- extendable magnet pickup tool
- various zip ties
- straight forceps
- Vessel driver handle (230W)
- Milwaukee precision screwdriver (if I had to do it over, I would go with the Klein)
- small utility knife
- HF meme kit ratchet, extension, and 1/4" drive bit socket
- Mini multi meter
- 6" locking bit extension
- Klein flip socket set (love these things)
- #2 phillips bit
- short bit extension
- bits from the HF meme kit as well as others I had. I bought the railer holders on amazon
- 6' tape measure
- assorted hardware - drywall anchors and wire nuts (I'm thinking about getting an altoids box to put these in
- velcro cable ties
- soft jaws for the wrench pliers
- tweezers
- mini folding scissors
- wire stripper/cutters
- water pump pliers
- wrench pliers
- pry bar
So far this has turned out to be a VERY handy kit. I took it to the in-laws earlier this summer and did a whole bunch of honey-do's around their house. I was pleasantly surprised that the water pump pliers and wrench pliers opened big enough to take sink drain plumbing apart. I also used the kit when I replaced my water heater last weekend. I only needed a full size pipe wrench to break 2 pipe connections loose. I also used it to replace a car window motor - only needed 2 deep sockets from my tool box.
All-in-all I am super happy with the setup and would not change much at all. If the water pump and wrench pliers break I will replace with knipex.
Mia Toro Tech Pouch
Has anyone ever come across one these. Mia Toro Style # MA 001

Rate this setup, the footprint is similar to an iphone pro max or Samsung ultra.
Contents: micro and standard bits, knipex cobra 125, mini ratchet with extender, 4mm bit adaptor, olfa slim utility knife.
Weight is approximately 200 to 300gm (i have no idea really)
How would you improve this setup and why?
Traveling in India - PSA
I just learned an expensive lesson. I am traveling for work in India from the US and when I went through security for a domestic flight, I found out you are not allowed any type of tool in your carry-on - any tool. Small Knipex cobra - not allowed, 711l mini ratchet - not allowed, bits for it - not allowed, Zippo - not allowed, any thing that could be considered a multitool - not allowed. I had a very well curated kit that traveled with me throughout Europe and North America. I have had security dig into it several times, but it was always allowed through.
I was surprised….
With how much actually fit in my Big Idea Design Wax Canvas Fold
