Looking for a keychain tool that has flat, phillips, scissors. Tweezers and/or toothpick would be cool too. Don't need pliers or a blade, but either is ok if the tool is still keychain sized. A beefy flathead screwdriver is what I really want. I currently keep a Vic Rambler on the keychain, and it's great, except the screwdriver blade is a little too small for prying. Like popping open a paint can, where you put the tip under the rim and twist. I've turned it sideways and used the spine of the driver, but it's a little flimsy.
 
I'd go with a Vic (your Rambler is a great one; mine's a Classic) and a small keychain prybar (Atwood or others; maybe make your own?).
 
The Dime does have a 2-dimensional phillips, and the flat driver is pretty stout. But for me, its too big and clunky for a keychain. I would say stick with the Rambler, and add a separate flat driver or pry tool type thing to your keys. Something like a Gerber Shard. [Edit: I saw defaultuser's brilliant post after I wrote this.]
