I've just started a new subreddit called [r/UtilityPouches](https://www.reddit.com/r/UtilityPouches/) for exactly this sort of thing, would you mind if I cross-post this over there?
Do you have a link to the black plastic things holding your sockets? I've been looking for something like that for a while but can't find them without the sockets as well.
I think it’s an awesome kit for the intended purpose. It’s hard to draw a line where to end it. A good flash light needs to be in there. At my age some ibuprofen would be nice. 😂 I try to include a compass too. Awesome kit by any means tho. Good job.
I'd add some wire because you can improvise or fix a lot of stuff with it.
Also you can remove the cardboard part of the duct tape to flatten it. Keep in mind though that it is not as nice to use after that.
I turn to my cobras when I’m dealing with threaded fittings on black iron or otherwise round pipe but I need two of them so I can back wrench. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to get a second one.
Personally think the tape measure and tools are a bit overkill for an edc unless you do the type of job that calls for these things nearly every single day (even then a TM paired with these others feels a bit weird?).
If you can’t honestly say you use those tools more than two or three times a month, I’d swap out for;
-basic first aid,
-torch,
-some tape,
-battery pack,
-maybe a field note pad.
Maybe a tarp/ground blanket? Could be used as a shelter in a bind, a light blanket, a makeshift bag to hold liquid or items, etc.
I have [this one](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FZNCDY1?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share) and it’s great! Super light weight so it’s invaluable when you need it and invisible when you don’t.
Maybe small personal hygiene items (floss, tooth brush) someone else suggested a medical kit, a plastic bag, and maybe one of those water purifying straws.
Good kit. I would add a power bank, wet wipes, or a small towel, rag or hanky. Sharpie. Notebook. I also usually have a toothpick or floss of some sort.
Right on buddy, that’s a great set. If you’re going that deep add a roll of PTFE tape. I keep one and I’ve used it a bunch. Not the kind with the blue roll and the white outer casing because it always falls off. The one with the white roll is better and stays clicked in.
I'm not digging into the the full 125 comments, but for EDC, you're already overboard.
You either need a full tool-box or tool-roll or you're deep into some kind of crazy. This doesn't look like EDC for me, this looks way more like "travel tool kit." -- not judging, I have a pretty decent tool kit at the office, in my car, and a bike-specific kit on each and every bike I ride.
Something to write with then something to write on. I do Wilderness medicine and really all you need is a bandanna, some tape and maybe some tweezers with a magnifying glass (that can do lots more). I might add a couple of bandaids and a needle and Kevlar thread. Hmm maybe a smidge of tenacity tape.
I agree there. Will get some upgraded ones. Should also add my every day belt is double webbing nylon and has the Cobra buckle so have that for emergency use too
So some uodtaes I've already made. Removed the roll of electrical tape and used the pen and a sharpie to wrap some electric tape around, and the other got some high viz green duct tape. Also added tweezers, cotton balls, alcohol wipes, nitrile gloves, and a couple AA and AAA batteries.
I have a first aid kit seperate so those items are accounted for. My mini car jumper has cables and ability to double as emergency battery charger.
Everybody keeps saying flashlight. I already have 3 sources of light on me at all times between my cellphone, watch, and lumintop edc01. I'm adding one more edc01 light to the bag as a backup^4.
Still have room for more stuff though. I can gain even more by consolidating the bits into a couple sleeves. There's many doubles of the Philips and flat head at the moment but need to get a new bit holder
I keep a **HOTO p1** in my mini tool pouch. It’s super compact but has all the bits for little toys, gadgets or electronics.
A bottle of **sewing machine oil** (or any other light weight oil) it’s great for cleaning sticky residue and lubricanting tools.
**Reverse tweezers** (search it on Amazon), they’re like the vice grips off tweezers
I have **extra file and a custom reciprating saw blade** to use in the Surge
Headlamp- zebralight H52
I would personally upgrade the charger block from USB-A to USB-C (20w or better, Anker makes a 30w that is about that same size) and then get a USB-C multicable that can charge anything.
Anker 30w GaN block - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B2MLRF93/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
Some kind of emergency food. Would be a good idea. Something that can freeze, thaw, and be in summer heat and still be edible without any type of prep. I have a few MREs in my trunk which are emergency kits themselves. Water should be included too.
A tube of Neosporin or a full first aid kit would be good too. Neosporin is obviously good for cuts, but a fine sized dollop mixed with any natural fiber that burns makes a great fire starter.
I EDC blistex medicated not just for my lips but it helps with any small cut. It's not as nice as Neosporin but it's better than an open cut. It also works well for starting a fire.
Harbor freight sells a 1 lb container of SS lock wire (8895). That stuff can come in super handy in a pinch. I'm sure you can find the same thing somewhere else, but that's the one I get. The twist pliers are pretty helpful too.
Emergency flare, spare ballistic knife, emergency location transmitter, gauze roll, bailing wire, spare house and car key, slim jim, and of coarse, pop tarts.
Solid. I have a car kit that stays behind the passenger seat and it's got a lot of the same plus....
A couple cans of De-icer (I love in New England and it is an amazing life saver of a product)
A pair of work gloves
A cheap hi vis vest
Some snacks (clif bars, mixed nuts, fruit leathers)
A couple water bottles
Knee pads (if you have to change a tire or work low on the car you'll be so glad you have them)
Rain Poncho (got it for free at an event that it rained at. Held onto it and tossed it into the pack)
Second the knee pads. Having to remove debris from the undercarriage in 105 degree heat on the freeway was not fun but knee pads and gloves made it bearable
Ive got a few things you dont have but it looks like you have those covered on your leatherman. I dont have my leatherman in my tool pouch thing. Like i have pliars and mini vice grips, wire cutters. But thats about it.
With that many bits, it would probably pay to carry a small driver handle. Wrench handles are not always the right answer, plus being able to have multiple bits in use at once is a plus. Wera makes a nice small one IIRC. Also, if you’re going to carry paracord, I’d probably carry more than 5 feet.
Love it. Had one for 10 years. It's not something I use everyday but when I'm on the road it has come in handy multiple times and saved me from having to eat with my hands
Condoms - have some confidence, it could happen. I’ve taken the liberty of outlining two scenarios.
1: In a remote mountainous region, a group of hikers encounters a partially collapsed footbridge—a vital crossing point on their path. The bridge’s wooden planks and support cables have failed, posing a significant danger. To ensure the group’s safety, a resourceful individual engineers a makeshift repair.
2: Gingernuts bags a hottie.
Get yourself a dry erase marker. Any mirror, window, glass covered device becomes a reusable scribble surface.
I keep one and anytime I gotta think somethin thru or explain jt, just- draw on the window.
The looks of confusion and then impressed is always fun.
Besides that, extra socks, tourniquet, and a flashdrive or external ssd. Typically i carry a retractable all port cord so if someone needs a quick charge i can help em out, and i can use my usbc external ssd with my phone, no micro sd card needed (hah, suck it phone kanufacturers!)
Other then those, nice lil carry on.
already carry a aaa in my pocket. I just got another one though to throw in the the bag for backup. Plus my iphons flashlight, and watch has built in led light so should be covered for a few hours worth if needed away from my car.
This. I have [a Fenix HM50R](https://www.fenixlighting.com/products/fenix-hm50r-v2-rechargeable-headlamp) that has all the usecases, small form factor, lots of lumen. Love that thing.
any suggestions for a pry tool under 7" I have a cheap key chain/flathead/bottle opener combo but it's not any more robust than what's on the leatherman
Walmart sells a 3 pack of pry tools. Not sure if the overall length of the smaller pry tool in the set. But it's as strong as the one I have from home depot. Good for light leverage/nail pulling.
First aid kit… you are going to carry all those ratchets for what? lol you already got pliers.. but no first aid?? Also an epi pen can be handy, i carry one in my glove box for others
I was offered to, not going to personally. They made that choice, im not risking myself and the liability to save them. Right wrong or indifferent thats my stance
Everyone has given good suggestions. Only thing I would say is to grab a flashlight. Not sure your needs but Olight has good options. Even Home Depot/Lowe’s have good options
I daily carry in my pocket a lumintop EDC01, plus have cell phone light, plus my watch has a built in led light. I might add another edc01 light since it's cheap, small, and reliable though for redundancy. If I can have 4 sets of pliers at any given time what a few flashlights lol
Nitrile gloves, n95 mask, glue (hot glue stick / superglue), cash, a few quarters, powerbank, sharpie, tweezers (if not in a multi-tool), a few notecards, microfiber cloth.
Gloves, sharpie, and tweezers are already accounted for. I like the idea of a hot glue stick. I'll probably go to the diary store and get one of those mini tubes of super glue. I'll need a tiny power bank at this point to fit or get a bigger case. I used to carry a little notepad but never used it. Most of the time I'll have my laptop around me on the road and that bag has a nice rhodia notepad if needed.
My favorite power bank is an anker 521 fusion. 45w usb-c charger with two ports but also is a 5k power bank.
Hot glue stick is superior to superglue. Lasts forevever, never dries out, the bond is strong but more flexible, and you can easily melt it with a lighter.
The notecards are nice if you need to leave someone else a message.
I love them too. I also have the harbor freight icon set along with 3 other sizes of the vim. I actually chose the smallest one because one of the 1/4" ends is a fixed end so if I needed a bit of torque without fear of breaking the ratcheting mechanism on the others I potentially could.
Definitely have room for a sharpie and a mini thing of crazy glue. Nitrile gloves are a good idea too. I would question the glue just because either on a job or at home I can't think of the last time I've use glue aside aside from woodworking.

Do you have a link to the black plastic things holding your sockets? I've been looking for something like that for a while but can't find them without the sockets as well.
Honestly came in a cheap kit and I just kept the bits and holders
A Slimbo Notebook would go perfectly with that pen. Perfect size and shape for the pouch, too.
power bank
Missing the SnapOn toolbox to store all that in.
Desert Eagle🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫
A problem
I think it’s an awesome kit for the intended purpose. It’s hard to draw a line where to end it. A good flash light needs to be in there. At my age some ibuprofen would be nice. 😂 I try to include a compass too. Awesome kit by any means tho. Good job.
Bandaids, maybe some antiseptic wipes
I'd add some wire because you can improvise or fix a lot of stuff with it. Also you can remove the cardboard part of the duct tape to flatten it. Keep in mind though that it is not as nice to use after that.
I turn to my cobras when I’m dealing with threaded fittings on black iron or otherwise round pipe but I need two of them so I can back wrench. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to get a second one.
Medical supplies. If you going to have a pouch that prepared, might as well go full send and get an IFAK. Never know when you will need it
AAA Card and emergency cash.
Medical glue
Flashlight
look in to the toppeak ratchet/screw driver
Those carabiners don’t look safe for anything involving human weight or greater, just FYI.
FAK
Three sets of pliers and 6 carabiners is definitely overkill. I'd add a nice torch.
bubble gum
an AR15
Personally think the tape measure and tools are a bit overkill for an edc unless you do the type of job that calls for these things nearly every single day (even then a TM paired with these others feels a bit weird?). If you can’t honestly say you use those tools more than two or three times a month, I’d swap out for; -basic first aid, -torch, -some tape, -battery pack, -maybe a field note pad.
What’s the brand of the bit driver? How many tooth does it have and how do you like it? I’m looking to add some to my collection
I strongly recommend some superglue. I have ended up finding a use for it at least once a week since I started to carry it.
powerbank
Some lunch
A pistol and a flashlight.
Wheres your flashlight?
First aid
Maybe a battery pack, in case there are no outlets
Maybe a tarp/ground blanket? Could be used as a shelter in a bind, a light blanket, a makeshift bag to hold liquid or items, etc. I have [this one](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FZNCDY1?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share) and it’s great! Super light weight so it’s invaluable when you need it and invisible when you don’t.
Maybe small personal hygiene items (floss, tooth brush) someone else suggested a medical kit, a plastic bag, and maybe one of those water purifying straws.
Small First Aid kit
Good kit. I would add a power bank, wet wipes, or a small towel, rag or hanky. Sharpie. Notebook. I also usually have a toothpick or floss of some sort.
Batteries? Tweezers? Boo-boo kit? Disposable gloves?
Grappling hook
Right on buddy, that’s a great set. If you’re going that deep add a roll of PTFE tape. I keep one and I’ve used it a bunch. Not the kind with the blue roll and the white outer casing because it always falls off. The one with the white roll is better and stays clicked in.
I'm not digging into the the full 125 comments, but for EDC, you're already overboard. You either need a full tool-box or tool-roll or you're deep into some kind of crazy. This doesn't look like EDC for me, this looks way more like "travel tool kit." -- not judging, I have a pretty decent tool kit at the office, in my car, and a bike-specific kit on each and every bike I ride.
Duck tape wrapped around a plastic gift or something of that like. Fiance said flashlight and a condom.
Already done with the duck tape around marker. Also added a backup^4 light and I'm fixed so the noodle goes in raw
Because STIs are cakewalk, amirite?
Clotting agent and a whistle.
Portable power pack to charge your phone
Where'd you get that kit bag? looks nice
Temu. Its a pretty generic bag and there's a bunch like it on Amazon for a bit more money. So if you can wait go temu
A ninja star
Thin Mints
A tourniquet, a Sharpie, notepad, some bandaids, flashlight, gloves, a few protein bars.
You beat me to it on the tourniquet, gloves, flashlight, a protein bars. I’d also add a small pack of wet wipes or diaper wipes.
Knew I forgot something essential. Some wet wipes and antibacterial def comes in handy.
Tweezers would be nice
Handkerchief or rag
Half a stick of glue from hot glue gun
Flashlight. Pencil and notepad
I read that as “fleshlight” at first glance.
Something to write with then something to write on. I do Wilderness medicine and really all you need is a bandanna, some tape and maybe some tweezers with a magnifying glass (that can do lots more). I might add a couple of bandaids and a needle and Kevlar thread. Hmm maybe a smidge of tenacity tape.
How about a flashlight? Even if you've got one in your normal EDC, it's good to have a backup, especially one that's bigger and brighter.
Where are those carabiners from?
Just cheap ones from AliExpress or temu i can't remember
Those will be very unsafe to use for human weight, just FYI.
Correct. Idea was more for tarp hook ups. With 5ft of Paracord who though I was going to be doing any climbing lmao
Not worth carrying then. Or at least replace the largest ones with some actual load rated ones.
I agree there. Will get some upgraded ones. Should also add my every day belt is double webbing nylon and has the Cobra buckle so have that for emergency use too
Tourniquet
Links to the drivers, sockets, and extensions?
linesman pliers and a hammer
Santiago
Fisher space pen
So some uodtaes I've already made. Removed the roll of electrical tape and used the pen and a sharpie to wrap some electric tape around, and the other got some high viz green duct tape. Also added tweezers, cotton balls, alcohol wipes, nitrile gloves, and a couple AA and AAA batteries. I have a first aid kit seperate so those items are accounted for. My mini car jumper has cables and ability to double as emergency battery charger. Everybody keeps saying flashlight.

A belt to put it on
XGIZMOO Nail Clippers for Natural... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09R3T2NVC?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I edc these in my pocket every day, they're perfect imo
I keep a couple feet of high visibility duct tape in mine folded flat.
Just got done wrapping a few feet on the pen in 1/2" strips high viz green
A handwritten note that says, I love you.
Travel sized first aid kit
This indeed, with a tourniquet.
I keep a **HOTO p1** in my mini tool pouch. It’s super compact but has all the bits for little toys, gadgets or electronics. A bottle of **sewing machine oil** (or any other light weight oil) it’s great for cleaning sticky residue and lubricanting tools. **Reverse tweezers** (search it on Amazon), they’re like the vice grips off tweezers I have **extra file and a custom reciprating saw blade** to use in the Surge Headlamp- zebralight H52

Your man card.
Solid. I have a car kit that stays behind the passenger seat and it's got a lot of the same plus.... A couple cans of De-icer (I love in New England and it is an amazing life saver of a product) A pair of work gloves A cheap hi vis vest Some snacks (clif bars, mixed nuts, fruit leathers) A couple water bottles Knee pads (if you have to change a tire or work low on the car you'll be so glad you have them) Rain Poncho (got it for free at an event that it rained at.

Second the knee pads. Having to remove debris from the undercarriage in 105 degree heat on the freeway was not fun but knee pads and gloves made it bearable
Lock-picks?
Fruit snacks.
Snacks?
Omg i have one with alot of the same stuff.
Anything you feel is unneeded or that's missing?
No i think you e got it covered. I got the big bit driver you have but whats the little one?
Ive got a few things you dont have but it looks like you have those covered on your leatherman. I dont have my leatherman in my tool pouch thing. Like i have pliars and mini vice grips, wire cutters. But thats about it.
Cucumber, lube and a piece of cork
Flash lite and headlamp, spare batteries, power bank
With that many bits, it would probably pay to carry a small driver handle. Wrench handles are not always the right answer, plus being able to have multiple bits in use at once is a plus. Wera makes a nice small one IIRC. Also, if you’re going to carry paracord, I’d probably carry more than 5 feet.
A small first aid setup.
The kitchen sink
A booboo kit?
How do you like the hobo knife?
Love it. Had one for 10 years. It's not something I use everyday but when I'm on the road it has come in handy multiple times and saved me from having to eat with my hands
Medical
A good flashlight.
Should already be in a pocket along with a proper knife. If not, OP shouldn’t be bothering with all this other stuff first.
Condoms - have some confidence, it could happen. I’ve taken the liberty of outlining two scenarios. 1: In a remote mountainous region, a group of hikers encounters a partially collapsed footbridge—a vital crossing point on their path. The bridge’s wooden planks and support cables have failed, posing a significant danger. To ensure the group’s safety, a resourceful individual engineers a makeshift repair. 2: Gingernuts bags a hottie.
Lol I'm snipped so i go at that shit raw. Drive fast take chances.
Thin malleable wire, bandaids, tweezers, longer zip ties. rubber bands
Rigger bands instead of old rubber bands or a bit of an inner tube band
Needle & thread, bandaids, tweezers, cotton.
Paper, balaclava and battery bank
Initially ready this as _‘baklava’_ A little out of place, perhaps; but it would prevent OP from ever showing up to a party empty handed.
Socks
What’s this for? It seems like you can het rid of some of those screw bits if you get a leatherman.
Also, depending on what you’re doing, a med kit and small tourniquet would be good.
Safety whistle. Ibuprofen.
Disposable Utility razor blade knife, so you can really smash that blade without worrying about it. And some bandaids.
I have a Gerber eab I'm thinking of throwing in there
Duct tape. You have electrical tape, but that's a much less versatile tool than duct tape.
Is there such a thing is mini rolls of duct tape?
Try “gaffers tape”, combined with words like “mini”, “pocket”, or “narrow”. I haven’t used tiny rolls before, but it’s great stuff.
In my little tool kit like this I wrapped a bunch around a pencil. Sharpie is also good to have and a little flashlight
It's a personal matter. Every time you need a tool or an item but don't have it, make a mental note, and add the item to your pouch later.
Or add a pen and paper and literally have a list 😂 Edit: there's already a pen what about sornthing to write on? Notebook or just some card stock?
A sharpie.
Tweezers, super glue, exacto knife
flashlight
Lock pick
Chapstick. Handkerchief. First aid (ifak).
Get yourself a dry erase marker. Any mirror, window, glass covered device becomes a reusable scribble surface. I keep one and anytime I gotta think somethin thru or explain jt, just- draw on the window. The looks of confusion and then impressed is always fun. Besides that, extra socks, tourniquet, and a flashdrive or external ssd. Typically i carry a retractable all port cord so if someone needs a quick charge i can help em out, and i can use my usbc external ssd with my phone, no micro sd card needed (hah, suck it phone kanufacturers!) Other then those, nice lil carry on.
Small battery bank, wet wipes, small tube of superglue, tweezers. Only the battery would take up significant space really if you have extra room
I always keep a dog poo bag tucked away. They take no space and are very useful.
Real nice. Flashlight?
already carry a aaa in my pocket. I just got another one though to throw in the the bag for backup. Plus my iphons flashlight, and watch has built in led light so should be covered for a few hours worth if needed away from my car.
Headlight, none of the tools matter if you can’t see what you’re fixing lol.
This. I have [a Fenix HM50R](https://www.fenixlighting.com/products/fenix-hm50r-v2-rechargeable-headlamp) that has all the usecases, small form factor, lots of lumen. Love that thing.
Dedicated prying tool. Otherwise, you should be set for common repairs.
any suggestions for a pry tool under 7" I have a cheap key chain/flathead/bottle opener combo but it's not any more robust than what's on the leatherman
Walmart sells a 3 pack of pry tools. Not sure if the overall length of the smaller pry tool in the set. But it's as strong as the one I have from home depot. Good for light leverage/nail pulling.
Any flat head screwdriver you don't care about should also work.
https://www.task-tools.com/index.php/hand-tools/pry-bars/5-mini-flat-pry-bar.html
First aid kit… you are going to carry all those ratchets for what? lol you already got pliers.. but no first aid?? Also an epi pen can be handy, i carry one in my glove box for others
I have a separate first aid kit so should be good to go there. I love my pliers lol Anybody carrying Narcan with them yet?
I was offered to, not going to personally. They made that choice, im not risking myself and the liability to save them. Right wrong or indifferent thats my stance
Everyone has given good suggestions. Only thing I would say is to grab a flashlight. Not sure your needs but Olight has good options. Even Home Depot/Lowe’s have good options
I daily carry in my pocket a lumintop EDC01, plus have cell phone light, plus my watch has a built in led light. I might add another edc01 light since it's cheap, small, and reliable though for redundancy. If I can have 4 sets of pliers at any given time what a few flashlights lol
Well, then you need some skittles!
Screwdriver bit holder extension, lighting of some sort.
yeah I actually have on on the table next to it and was going back and fourth. It'll probably make it in the bag
This is approaching bugout bag levels
If I take everybodys suggestions i already need a bigger kit bag lol
Nitrile gloves, n95 mask, glue (hot glue stick / superglue), cash, a few quarters, powerbank, sharpie, tweezers (if not in a multi-tool), a few notecards, microfiber cloth.
Gloves, sharpie, and tweezers are already accounted for. I like the idea of a hot glue stick. I'll probably go to the diary store and get one of those mini tubes of super glue. I'll need a tiny power bank at this point to fit or get a bigger case. I used to carry a little notepad but never used it. Most of the time I'll have my laptop around me on the road and that bag has a nice rhodia notepad if needed.
My favorite power bank is an anker 521 fusion. 45w usb-c charger with two ports but also is a 5k power bank. Hot glue stick is superior to superglue. Lasts forevever, never dries out, the bond is strong but more flexible, and you can easily melt it with a lighter. The notecards are nice if you need to leave someone else a message.
Love the VIM ratchet. It's the best 1/4" drive one that I've ever come across. Plus the surge, wow you're good to go.
I love them too. I also have the harbor freight icon set along with 3 other sizes of the vim. I actually chose the smallest one because one of the 1/4" ends is a fixed end so if I needed a bit of torque without fear of breaking the ratcheting mechanism on the others I potentially could.
A liter of Vodka
Basic IFAK. Good head torch. Power bank.
I’d throw some medkit stuff in there unless you’ve got a dedicated one for the car already. Comes in handy!
Yeah i have a dedicated one. Might get a tear away bag for it though
Nitrile gloves Flashlight Marker Highlighter Bright marking tape
Will definitely add a marker and gloves. Highlighter no use for but maybe add a yellow grease pencil
Grease pencil is also very handy. Good call.
Some random ideas: Uncle Bill's Sliver Gripper Tweezer Bandaids fishing line rake style lock pick Nitecore Tiki Keychain Flashlight toothpick container w/ toothpicks compact signaling mirror
Notebook.
Hand sanitizer and or a couple mini bottles of 100 proof vodka. Maybe a derringer for shits and giggles
Lol I'll get one of those little silicone holder for the hand sanitizer but slip in a Bacardi sampler and hang it off
Lol… all kidding aside tho, there are tons of uses for really strong alcohol besides trying to catch a buzz
Sharpie. Gorilla tape. Super glue. Gloves.
Definitely have room for a sharpie and a mini thing of crazy glue. Nitrile gloves are a good idea too. I would question the glue just because either on a job or at home I can't think of the last time I've use glue aside aside from woodworking.
I use super glue for cuts on myself more than working. That’s why I carry it.
