Found these at CountyComm.

When I was in my late teens (late 60's) I used to carry a flat blade screwdriver that was about the size of a key on my keychain. It was handy to have. Cost a couple of bucks I think. One year I gave one to each of my relatives as a Christmas gift. Got a lot of THANKYOU!s on that. I've not had one of those for years. But I saw something similar at CountComm and thought I'd try 'em.

Been carrying them for about a week and they do work well. No matter how hard I turn them I can't tweak them like I can if I over-torque my Leatherman Micra. I still carry the Micra for smaller screws. But I like these. The handle end is big enough to get a surprising amount of torque on it.

Y'all can guess what my friends are gonna get for stocking stuffers this year. Recommended!

Glad you are happy with them. I think having screwdrivers are extremely helpful to have. I just don't like those kinds of things on my keychain. I can imagine getting poked with those things if they don't sit right when you sit down. I carry a large SAK that has those tools (plus others) instead.

+1.

I find that an original LM Supertool, a Micra, and a Victorinox Swiss Champ cover all anticipated 'on the go' tool needs.

From being a motorcyclist and cyclist, I never wear any loose devices on my belt which can cause injury if I were to come off whilst riding, same applies to a trip or slip whilst walking.

However, those tools do look very well made and weigh a hell of a lot lighter than the gear on my belt!
 
Now that's a pretty neat idea. Pair that up with a P-38 and I could give up carrying a multitool.

Carry a separate ring for your EDC goodies. :thumbup:

The deal with County Comm is that you go there looking for those screwdrivers, and then since you are paying $8.00 or whatever for shipping, you figure you might as well throw in a mechanics key ring, Fox 40 whistle, Pico widgy bar, and before you know it you have dropped $50.00.
 
I carry a kershaw t tool from county comm, or rather I got mine free from kershaw. (:
 
Nifty, if you can get someone to make a small bar that will go through the holes then you get the torque you may need for only a little extra weight.

Damn, you yanks have some great stores! Bastids!! ;)

Been there. Done that. But it was all cool stuff, so I liked it.:thumbup:
