One can do a lot with the blade, scissors and mini drivers on a Victorinox Manager or similar, along with a micro light of some sort. Throw in a Knipex Cobra XS, and you have a
tour de force

I carry this combo quite often on weekends
Sometimes the knife is different (same toolset just different scales
) and I usually have an Olight Keychain light on my keys as well
oh and I do sometimes carry a PocketWrench depending on where I am going and what might possibly come up

That's a heck of a little kit you have there!

This is my EDC combo for everyday work. I carry it always when I expect to need some tool. For everything else I carry a Roxon M2.
First I had more separate tools like for example the wrench standalone. But I managed to get it into this cheap multitool, which holds up very well for the last two years. I made also one multitool which had everything in one tool including the screwdriver. But I realized, this is the more practical solution. It all is in my left front pocket. But it is the absolute maximum for this type of carry.
I have already shown the mods of the multitool, but the screwdriver is rather new. It is a ratcheting stubby driver which can hold up to six bits. I flattened it with an angle grinder to make it more pocketable without losing much grip in my hand. Also I added a pocket clip.
Sometimes I carry a pen with them (the multitool has an emergency pen). As a flashlight I normally use my phone, so no need for it.

Those Knipex xs Cobra pliers and pliers wrench pull their weight even with how small they are!
I knew my wife was a keeper when she transitioned from calling it a knife thingy to a multi-tool.

Most of these could also qualify as keychain tools:
SOG: PowerPint, Vic: Quattro, LM: By The Numbers #2, OLight: i1R EOS
Used the PowerPint and BTN#2 to pull the battery on the riding mower to store inside.

I always have a Rambler in the small fifth pocket of my jeans. I always carry a small Olight 3E EOS that is powered by a single AAA battery and isn’t much bigger than one. I always have a couple of paper clips in my wallet and 6 - 8 feet of duct tape wrapped around an old library card.
The biggest single item I EDC is a 2 - 4 layer SAK (there are several different models I like to carry). Which… still isn’t very big compared to a lot of things folks tote in their pockets.
It’s all relatively mini!

I use a Leatherman tool pouch as my wallet. Along with the normal wallet items (drivers license, credit cards, business cards, scant amount of cash) I carry a Buck 363, MiniChamp, PowerPint, Bic lighter, Stanley 4-in-1 screwdriver, and a Right In The Rain Pokka pen (not seen in picture because I am waiting on a replacement to arrive):

That's a nice set-up Adam5. I really like the pouch. Have been looking around for something similar. Does it fit a standard pocket reasonably well?

It fits the left front pocket of my work pants very well. The fit in my jeans pocket is tighter, but still works for me.

AAA flashlight, Gerber STL 2.0 and a Gerber Dime. I've since split them up but the idea is still the same.
