This is a mini toolkit that I have been working on for the past six months. It live in the backpack that I generally keep near me, so if a circumstance arises where I need it tool, I can have that tool in hand within seconds. This is opposed to travelling to the nearest toolbox if I am at home, or depending on someone else to have a tool if I am away from home.
The kit is pretty lightweight (Just under 2 lbs / 888 grams), but is packed with functionality. I don't carry it in my pocket all the time, but it can fit in there if I want to. I generally do this when I am doing chores around the house because I find myself more inclined to tighten a screw or whatever if the tools are handy. Its small form factor makes it easy to bring along into a crawl space, under a desk, or open it up right on a workbench or a table.
