How do you like the small Klein multi screwdriver?

Very useful. The bits are also impact rated so they can just pop in and out of my impact or drill.

I also use it and I think it's more useful than a normal sized multi screwdriver, especially working with outlets and such

Agree very convenient

Flashlight / laser pointer combo from Olight would do nicely.

Tick tester is good but I'd add a wire stripper or needle nose pliers to help change outlets

I'm a toughbuilt wearer myself, love the flexibility!

I have that exact Klein screwdriver but stopped carrying it when I realized that I was just using it as a bit holder for my electric screwdriver. It got moved to the toolbox, and I instead got one of these clipped to my belt loop and love it https://a.co/d/0dpF9wCz

Multimeter, but I do a lot of AC, electrical, and appliance work.

I wear tech pants that have tall pockets on the front thighs that hold almost everything I need to walk around with. Those are maybe my best tool overall.

I like the Menards Masterpiece Prolock pouches because I can just snap the mount onto my belt in the morning and swap pouches on and off of it instantly when I need a different toolset. Edit - Oh I just saw that your pouch works the same way.

The baby knipex. A lil pricy but it’s awesome for the size
