Why do you carry 2 different multi-tools and a knife? Not hating, they're your pockets afterall, I'm just curious lol
Also, all that shit, and the one thing that's a "sometimes" is your wallet? ๐ "well I've got my 20lbs of misc equipment, but eh I think I'll travel light today, no need to grab my 1oz wallet"
Haha! Funny thing is that my wallet is only a "sometimes" because I also bring a backpack around too so often the wallet is in there for safekeeping along with a zillion other things. Going to update the comment with the backpack comments to elaborate lol.
Oh, and the multitools, That's a good question! I'm a mobile mechanic and am always needing one or the other. It began with just a knife and has expanded since.
1: The regular knife is for scraping gunk off of bolts, terminals etc. And also has a few edges that are the perfect size for peeling back wires. It also has a bottle opener and flathead screwdriver
2: Multitool #1 has a set of pliars, Phillips head, and a few other things I need and
3: The card shaped/sized multitool also comes in handy as it's a tiny wrench and has cutouts for tiny bolts so I can remove them. It also functions as a decent putty scraper and has a saw I use all the time. To boot, it's a ruler as well which is nice for sizing up small things.
I just use them all the time and they save me trips to the truck looking for wrenches/ratchets which is also why I carry the light, hope that explains my strangeness a bit lol
Glad you found a system that works for you! I'm on the dead opposite side of the spectrum, i rarely leave the house with more than phone (w/ wallet case), earbuds, and keys. And if my wife is with me, I generally make her keep the keys in her purse so that I've got even less to carry lol
