Lots of capability there.
Yes sir it is, and it’s not difficult to manage. In my job most of the tool work is small tubing, hose and pipe fittings 1 inch and smaller and smaller bolts and screws. The markers are for writing down the settings or reference points on operator mechanisms both as found and dated left as so the next person knows what’s going on. When the bigger sized equipment needs work we bring out the big tools specifically made for the job along with more personal.Lots of capability there.
I'll be trying this " bicycle wrench " at work for a while, just dropped in my back pocket.
This one happens to be a Frank Mossberg Diamond no10 that was made in 1900-1901, but there are much later options out there.
I have a larger 10 inch " auto wrench " in the tool bag in my locker and have become quite fond of the F style adjustable, lots of capacity for it's size and multiple ways to use it.
Mine has already come in handy a few times.Ive got one of those also. I don’t have a use for it so will trade it off but it’s definitely a neat tool.
Very useful for sure.I carry this screwdriver in my shirt pocket everyday. It's the size of a Sharpie which I also carry.
I've been carrying a pair of #426 at work the past couple years and they have been great.I just bought some small channellocks to try out for pocket carrying and already have a bunch of these handy remora pouches. The stubby phillips usually comes along with the pioneer x, but it’s not the greatest screwdriver to carry.

We plumbers like our water pump pliers (most of us just call any brand of them channel locks). I haven’t used ones this small so we’ll see how it goes. These are definitely not meant to replace the larger channellocks I use at work, but they beat the heck out of leatherman pliers and are easy to carry in a pocket.I've been carrying a pair of #426 at work the past couple years and they have been great.
They're certainly better then the smallest pair, the #424 which are are just ignition pliers.We plumbers like our water pump pliers (most of us just call any brand of them channel locks).

I’ve been carrying channellock 426’s in my pocket for quite a while now, but after trying some larger knipex cobra’s at work I was impressed and had to try out the tiny edc pair of cobras, being the edc centric guy that I am. These will get well used and we’ll see just what they can and can’t do.
