How many people EDC a multi-tool or SAK on their keychain and what is it?

I am looking at getting either a small SAK or leatherman Micra or squirt.

LM Squirt. I go back and forth as to whether the scissor or pliers flavor is better. Usually scissor.

I prefer 2 smaller keychain as opposed to one gigantic one.
 
I prefer to hang everything off my belt. I just don't like stuff hanging on my keychain. Especially sharp, pointy stuff. Like George Constanza said, "I'm afraid I'll puncture my scrotum".
 
On my keys, I have:-

SAK Minichamp
Swisstech Utilikey
Nite Tritium Glowring (green)
Spy Capsule (contains £10 note)
Small, slim Firesteel (with heatshrink cover)
Fauxton
Plastic whistle
 
I used to carry a LM micra but because of airport and work restrictions I carry only an i-slice on the keychain - not as useful but it will cut out newspaper articles and open plastic blister packs
 
I go back and forth between my LM Squirt P4 and a SwissTech MicroPro w/LED light.

Right now its the SwissTech.
 
I used to sport a Leatherman Micra for a number of years. Those scissors got the most use. Tweezers were pretty lousy and the rest didn't see much use. Now I keep a Boker Keycom blade with my keys. Very useful blade with a nice pointy tip that's nice for pickout out splinters and doing precision tasks.
 
Did have a Micra on my keys just 'cos the scissors were good for cutting up bud. Now the only oddities I have on there sometimes are handcuff keys and window lock keys. Oh, and a paper clip for poking up optical drives and routers.
 
Another vote for the LM Squirt P4. Throw in a mini prybar of some sort and you've got a very useful combo.

Victorinox Manager, Leatherman Micra, or Leatherman Squirt P4. Whichever it is, it's always accompanied by a SwissTech Utili-Key and Photon MicroLight 2.
 
I only keep keys on my keychain. I keep a Vic Huntsman's Plus in the same pocket but I only like keys on keychains and keeping it light.
