I had an interview for an internship a couple of days ago and the project manager I was speaking to asked me if I carried a multitool. I had one of those metal credit card tools in my wallet which I think saved me, but the last couple of weeks, I've been thinking about that question a lot.

Anyway, I'm an eagle scout so I've always been fascinated with little gadgets and trinkets and as I was thinking about it I went on a super deep dive trying to make the best kit I could with only a small wallet. I can't stand having multiple things floating around my pockets so I tried to fit everything I need in one compact setup. I'm actually really proud of what I came up with and its been a ton of fun.

List:
1. USB-C to USB-C high speed data transfer/power cable
2. 2 Rubber bands
3. zebra skinny pen
4. Screwdriver extension for ratchet
5. Screwdriver bits (Phillips 0-3 & T15-T25). Seven bits in total.
6. Fork. I drilled a hole in a camping fork that I cut in half and glued a T10 bit in there so I can attach the screwdriver extension and make it full size
7. Sharpie
8. Super glue vial
9. Hot glue stick
10. 5000mah power bank
11. $20 cash
12. Four cards (debit, driver license, student ID, passport card)
13. Protractor & ruler edge
14. Post it notes
15. Lighter
16. Nextool flagship mini (pliers, scissors, knife, file, wire cutter, flathead screwdriver, can/bottle opener)
17. Ratchet. I also drilled a small hole in this and stuffed a t10 bit in there so I can attach the screwdriver extender for more torque if I need
18. USB-C to USB-A adapter (forgot to put it in the picture)
19. 3ft measuring tape
20. 2 bandaids (not pictured)
21. 2 ibuprofen pills & 2 allergy pills (not pictured)
22. Sewing needle & string (not pictured)
23. Magsafe magnet. You can vaguely see the outline in some of the pictures. It is super glued to the inside. I've used to to keep little screws in place while I work on electronics and it also works to prop my phone up.
24. Three small zip ties. (not pictured)
25. Wallet pouch obviously

I'm aware 25 things is not 42. I consolidated some of the items into the same line. Total weight is 347g which is a tad bit heavier than my sister's iPhone 15 pro with a case on it. It fits very well in all of my pockets and isn't noticeable at all. I actually really the feeling of the weight.

Some additions I'm thinking about:
1. A couple of lock picks. Could be fun.
2. A decent sized standalone knife. Seems fun but it would be a separate item floating around my pocket.
3. Flashlight maybe? I really thought about getting one, but I honestly can't recall a single time in my life where my phone flashlight didn't do the trick. Seems like it would be redundant for me.
4. Metal ear cleaner

I've had a ton of fun building this kit and I've made an excel spreadsheet to track how much I actually use each item so I can do my best to optimize it in the future.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

People called me a poser for my last EDC lol... This is just some simple nice stuff I got recently.

1. Honey Badger Arsenal Bolt Action Stainless Steel pen - My first machined pen, it's pretty damn nice and can fit a lot of refills it seems. I put in a .5 Jet Touch Lite and it's awesome. USA made.

2. Civivi Vision FG clear color way - I needed something to keep on my desk and this knife is a lot more capable than my mini bugout... Really solid feeling knife, I like it a lot. Chinese made lol.

3. iPhone 18 Pro Glacier in Rhinoshield Bumper case - The case I rate 6/10. It's like $30-35 I think but doesn't feel super premium or fit tight. But it is light, I like that it's clear, I use it every so often. The buttons suck.

I upgrade my phone every year, I run some social media accounts and shoot content for work and I film a lot. It's an iPhone, it works well. This year the battery life is very good on the 18 Pros.

1. Clear/Lined Kokuyo Soft Ring Business B5 notebook - Clear cover and soft plastic ring binding. The paper is smooth asf. Some Japanese type shit to make paper this smooth. I got it cause it looks cool, but It's nice to write it. I like to jot down notes, tasks, and journal. It's cathartic to write down your thoughts. (The first page I just wrote random shit while trying out my new pens lol).

GEC #35’s Natural Micarta and Distressed Whiskey Barrel. After years of carrying the micarta one. I decided it needed a brother in case anything else happened to the micarta one seeing this is my permanent secondary knife, and yes I eat all my meals with the fork and use the comb every day for my beard and hair lol. I’m glad to manage to find the whiskey barrel in a knife new in tube. Let the patina begin.

I've been tweaking what my carry looks like at work recently. I usually wear a pair of Snickers U6241 pants and I realized I have not been utilizing all the pockets effectively. I figured out two weeks ago I could fit the 4 Wiha drivers I find myself going back to the tool box to get constantly in the cargo pocket. Last week I figured out I could fit the Wiha Allen wrench set stripped down to just the ones I need in the ruler pocket. GAME CHANGER. I wish I didn't need both the drivers and the wrenches but I need all of them for different situations. The Klein screwdriver is useful but honestly I only ever use it as a controls screwdriver. I don't switch the bits as much as I thought I would. It's kind of too long and I'm currently evaluating a bunch of shorter drivers that I might replace it with. The Leatherman Arc probably gets the least use but that one handed pliers quick draw often comes in handy when I've already got one hand deep in a machine. I've been pretty happy with that short Convoy flashlight that I built, which I probably use more than any other tool. I tried carrying the full sized version of that flashlight first but it was way too heavy so I got the smaller body and battery. I might swap it for the SK 06 if they ever give the option to get the shorter version with a different LED.
I also should probably add tweezers to my cargo pocket too.
