11 Function Credit Card Size Survival Pocket Tool

One time I was at work and I needed a flat screwdriver to loosen up a screw but I forgot to bring my Swiss Tech Multi Tool. I had to use the hand lever of my nail clipper as a screwdriver, but I forced the hand lever too much that it broke loose and the retainer flew somewhere where I couldn't find it. I had to buy a new nail clipper to replace the broken one. Well, lesson learned the hard way.


My new nail clipper.


Swiss Tech Multi Tool with my car keys. Now I will not forget to bring it along.



Aside from the Swiss Tech Multi Tool, I now carry in my wallet the 11 Function Credit Card Size Survival Pocket Tool. I ordered several from eBay to give away as Christmas gift, however it didn't arrive on time so I'm stuck with 8 pieces of these.



1. saw blade
2. can opener
3. knife edge
4. flat screwdriver
5. cap opener
6. 4-position wrench
7. butterfly screw wrench
8. 2-position wrench
9. direction ancillary wrench
10. ruler
11. keychain hole

Now, I'm sure I'll have the right tool when I needed it albeit superflous. As the saying goes "Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it."

That's all folks! Thanks for reading.

Swiss Tech 6-in-1 Micro-Tech Multi-Tool

In an urban environment, I carry a sheefield multi tool as part of my EDC. It is very useful at work especially the phillips and flat screwdriver. But sometimes I find it too bulky, so instead I carry a small gadget called Micro-Tech Multi-Tool as shown below.


The Swiss Tech 6-in-1 Micro-Tech Multi-Tool.


Precision pliers, wire cutter, stripper, and sheet shear.


Phillips screwdriver.


Flat screwdriver.


With a bonus 1/8" rule markings.


A small yet very useful tool. It would be handy for making snares too if you're out in the woods.

That's all folks! Thanks for reading.
