I bought this small pocket tool at the local Ace Hardware store. I had been looking for the Swiss made one, but have not found them anywhere in town. So when I saw this one for $16 I bought it right away. It is well made, and the locks are great. The locks hold well and need to be deliberately disengaged. I have used it for a few jobs over the past few weeks and it seems to be holding up well. It is becoming loose, so I would not use it on a keyring. But it really is large to be carried every day. This would go well in a bag. Clipped on a ring in the bag so that the tool is always available but not lost at the bottom of a pocket. It is not heavy, but it is solid steel so it is not light either. This tool is sold as 10 Tools-in-1 with a 1) Knife, 2) Small Phillips screwdriver, 3) Small Flathead screwdriver, 4) Large Flathead screwdriver, 5) Bottle opener, 6) File, 7) Tweezers, 8) Large pliers, 9) Fine pliers, 10) Wire cutters and strippers

We have been looking for a source for these pocket tools and finally found one here in Tucson. The Swiss Tech tools have quite a following online and now there is a local source to buy them without shipping charges. We went to the store and bought a few styles to test out and add to our gear. We started out with the Screwz-All (4-1 tool), Utili-Key (6-1 tool) and Micro-Pro (9-1 tool). They each come in a plastic package with instruction card.

The Camelback H.A.W.G. is a good size pack for hiking and bicycling. The pack is not too large, but it is roomy enough to hold essential gear. In addition it has a pocket for an MP3 player at the top of the bag. This pack holds 100 ounces of water (3 liters) so it is a good choice for hot climates where a lot of water is needed

This is a small Survival Kit that was built around 10 years ago and kept in the car most of the time. The kit is small enough to fit in the door of the car / truck or in the trunk. I replaced this kit with a newer one. Many of the items in the kit are still very usable and a few items failed and should not be used in future kits without modification. This kit contained (from top to bottom): Liquid breath freshener, a condom, 3x Alcohol swabs, half a spoon (from an MRE), emory board (ripped in half), 3x Bandaids, watchband compass, metal tweezers, desiccant pack, small dice, Flint (boy scout brand), p-58 (can opener), Bic lighter, Magnesium bar w/ Flint, Small sewing kit, AAA mini-mag w/ 3x batteries, Hose container w/ mini glow sticks, Hose container w/ Razor blades (x-acto style), Cold Weather Chap Stick (military issue), fishing line, small USA Flag
