That is a really nice, low key, just the right size, save your **s multi purpose knife, perfect for practical EDC pocket use. We used to call em "gentleman's" knifes. Thanks for sharing pard. Nice multipurpose tool.

Yeah ... I know I need a couple more. Funds are tight tho. ☹️
Maybe I should get a Dime and Suspension or Suspension NXT to fill in till I can find a lightly used Wave, or Rebar, or Super tool 300, and a Squirt or Micra ...

I do have a "few" ratchets, (1/4"; 3/8"; 1/2") extensions, and sockets, a pair of 6" adjustable wrenches, inch and metric allen wrench sets, 36 pc 1/4 hex bit set, 120 1/8 inch hex bit set and 1/8 to 1/4 hex adapter so I can use the 1/8 hex bits with the 1/4 hex ratchet and "T" handle, a largish pocket wife (AKA: "Sewing Kit") awl with replaceable/interchangable punch, awl, and sail needles, first aid kit (drug free), and a couple #1 & 2 Phillips and common screwdrivers, and a 10" end snip/toenail clipper in my outside/away from home rollator's shopping/tote bag, along with three 18650 LED flashlights, (two clamped on the rollator, and an LED tail light) for if I have to walk home after sunset, very un-dull Cold Steel Finn Bear or Mora N°1, a sling shot, .38 inch steel balls, .50 inch hard clay balls, a wood cane with shepherd's hook (will be replaced with a .64 caliber Cold Steel 4 foot "professional" heavy wall blowgun/walking stick with darts in september) and a folding 36" reach extender. (I don't know why the floor and ground are so much lower now than when I was younger...) I'm going to add one of those Storm Safety Whistles (supposedly the loudest whistle there is. Not that I'll ever be in a situation where it would be useful, but supposedly they can be heard by your buddies up to 50 feet away while everyone is under water.) to my kit in September, as well.

I think I can "get by" with the one LM, three SAK, two or three ... maybe four ... dedicated cutters, and what's in the rollator tote/shopping bag for a while yet. 😁
 
Greetings,
Today, went with the Leatherman Supertool and the Buck Alpha Hunter, both sheathed and on belt. The Supertool was required today for less trips back to the tool box, I usually carry the Leatherman Rebar in dry weather. The extra weight was not really noticeable. Of course, still carry a Benchmade Serum clipped n pocket.Sept_14_2022.jpg

Good afternoon,
Today was a great day for cycling so I went out for a few hours. I ride a road bike and there are plenty of trails and out of the way roads out where I am. These two are standard for cycling edc in my jersey pocket. The Crank Bros multi is awesome, I don't see much any more but do see the Park version out there. Of the options, I really like that it has a chain breaker and spoke adjuster. I do carry a flat kit including levers, patches, CO2 and adapter on the bicycle.

Yes! A chain breaker is a must for any cycling specific multi-tool. I have one in the saddle bag on each of my bikes. While I haven't needed one on a ride yet, I do use them when putting on a fresh chain at home. I have used the rest of the tools on the pictured Topeak Hexus X tool. It has done at least 7,000 miles in the saddle bag of my road bike. The spoke wrenches were particularly useful one day when I had some particularly bad luck and dropped my chain into the spokes at speed. Ruined all the spokes on the drive side, shearing several of them clean off. Had to remove the rear brake and heavily adjust the spokes to get the wheel to turn without contacting the frame. Got me the 3-4 miles back home!

I keep the topeak tool, Cs4, spare tube, 2x co2 w/valve, patch kit, levers, and a small first aid kit in my saddle bag. In a maxpedition micro EDC bag I keep personal items, SAK classic, olight 3i, and keys. That, my phone, and a Spyderco Pacific Salt of some type go in my Jersey pockets. Cygolight hotshot 250 on the back and an olight RN 1500, cygolight dice, and Seeker 2 pro on the front (I do 95% of my Road cycling in the very early morning and this time of the year, that means all before sunrise)

Lots of gear for cycling! And I'm more than happy to incorporate knives and multi-tools.

Carrying: Sak Hercules and a Mini Champ.
Used: (so far today) Leatherman Charge+ TTI to bend the snap swivel on the Hercules' chain lanyard (at the tool end) so it can't catch on blankets when taking a nap.
