Utility Belt Part 3 (Final Part)


I experimented with several main tool pouches before I found one small and unbulky enough, and I experimented even more to find out what tools to keep in it.

Even now I keep a few basics in it and adjust according to need.

It doesn't usually live on my belt anymore though, it stays in a side pocket of my computer bag.

My main multitool is a classic Leatherman, it has served very well over the years. Needlenose pliers, wirecutters, knife, file, awl, three standard screwdrivers, Phillips screwdriver, can opener, and ruler.

A Mini-Maglite with a clip.

A large pair of forceps.

A very large pair of bent nose tweezers.

A multi tool pen which doesn't do any one thing well, but works great to improvise other tools that I don't have at the moment. Oddly enough this one doesn't seem to be available in the US anymore. It was cheap though, and it works.

My handy dandy Belkin Quadra which combines a pen, a PDA stylus, a LED flashlight, and a laser pointer. The biggest problem with it is battery life, but the light, pen and stylus work well.

I do keep a bandanna in my pocket, not in my pouch, but it is one of my tools. I order them in bulk once or twice a year.
