EDC urban survival

I think I may have outsmarted myself here. The idea was less is more. Total weight here is about 75grams but its quite bulky. The aggregate was supposed to be an alternative to a large lock blade

Resqme key chain is pretty self explanatory. Lives on my car key. Never used it. Have been in plenty of situations when I could have, but I had my LM Wave on me at the time which is the first thing I reached for and is exactly what I used.
LM Style CS. Links the other two tools together. Literally. Not perfect. But high useability and looks great.
Swiss Tech Utilikey 6 in 1. Now lives on the house keys. Mainly bought this for the Phillips head which is a bit of a disappointment. Very similar to the Phillips they used to put on the SAK champ which is the one that looks like it has been squashed into position. However the blade is surprisingly sharp, useful and seems to hold an edge. The other functions are a bit of a stretch IMHO. The finishing is otherwise not bad. Could have gotten the Micro-plus EX 9 in 1 for the same price.

I carry a yellow Resqme on my car keys as well. I don't know if I'll ever need it but it doesn't weigh much, and didn't cost much, so it's there.

I liked the Style CS well enough, and still own a Style PS, but I might suggest switching it and the utilikey for a Micra.

Also, for almost no additional weight or cost, consider throwing in a fauxton.
