Pocket tools

[Hickory n Steel]

Do you carry any small hand tools in your pocket everyday or maybe on your keys ?

Before the leatherman multitool hit the scene back in the 1980's, many small tools were commonly carried.
4" adjustable wrenches, small pliers, freebie pocket drivers, p38 & P51 can openers, Proto keychain drivers, the ubiquitous Craftsman/ Cole 4-way driver, and all kinds of various other promotional keychain tools were carried by men everywhere.


I carry these 4 things in my pocket all day everyday, plus my pocket flashlight a pocket knife and my pen of course



At work I tend to need a little more capability on me because I have fewer tools at my disposal.
 I carry the WF Craftsman because it's big for a 4" adjustable with more jaw capacity,and of course the 4" curved pry bar instead of the flat 3" bar I carry to open stain and acetone...etc cans at home.

I could never get pics to work here but I'll try this weekend. I have a countycomm prybar that my buddy re-powdercoated for me, along with a 4" Channellock adjustable on my EDC work keys

Nice collection H&S! -- Don't have too many small pocket tools anymore. Put most of them in the family cars and other vehicles over the years just to have a small emergency stash in the glove compartment or center console.

I keep an old Schrade pocket knife on me, and a Proto keychain screwdriver.

Fun topic. I keep a Craftsman pocket screwdriver like used to come with their sets on my Keychain. Additionally I always have several pocket knives on me, one a 3 blade stockman 4" and another specialty knife. I stopped carrying tools in cars years ago. If they shoot craps I use tow in insurance.

Those COLE style Craftsman 4-way drivers are pretty useful, especially if you modify 2 of the tips into a phillips shape.
I don't put things on my keys though so I don't actually carry mine.

I'm sure the Pocket organizer is a much much more modern concept, but it is what allows me to carry the small tools I keep on me.

The COUNTYCOMM pico pry bars really are the best.
Affordable and American made out of proper tool steel, no soft stainless steel or nonsense titanium or gimmicky extra features.
They're just a traditional single ended flat bar in a small size, I think I have gifted 2 of them in previous years GGSS exchanges on the old forum because I like them that much.
