I have deemed having a reasonably long phillips driver in my EDC as essential for at least the last 6 years. I first started with a modded Scientist but missed having an awl. I then modded a Passenger which I carried every day for at least a year. Later I decided that 4 layers was fine, so I modded an Explorer and replaced the scissors with a saw. That tool I EDC'd for at least three years. After having it almost fail or be almost useless and frustrating on some smallish sized phillips screws, I gave up on the inline Vic phillips driver. Frankly it just isn't very well formed and cams out too easily. I then added a Maratac screw key to my keychain and went back to 3 layers or less and added a fresnel lens to my wallet.
