• 6 in 1 Milwaukee Fastback with bit-driver

  • Curated set of bits to fit most occasions.

  • Icon micro ratchet with extension and 1/4 square socket adapter.

  • Cheap 4 mm bit driver, seems like it is the same as the Harbor freight one I’ve seen before.

  • Knipex 87-100 cobra pliers

  • Mini Bic lighter

  • Bit of glue stick

  • Bit of gaffer tape

  • 16 feet of micro cord

  • A few zip ties cut down to shorter length

  • Tweezer man nail tool that came with nail clippers. I use it a lot for poking, scraping and prying.

It all packs up pretty well in an old earbud case I found at a thrift store.

The only things I still want to add to this kit is the Knipex xs Pliers Wrench and a double sided sharpie.

    The clipper lighters look really good but I’ve never seen one in person. I was considering buying one online recently but it’s a bit hard to tell how you will like it until you can hold it in your hand.

    I have a refillable peanut lighter which was in this kit. I was doing monthly checks that the fluid was still good. But after 4 months and 4 test lights, it was dry. I switched it for the Bic at that point. If I could get a solid year with 12 test lights out of the peanut lighter I would have kept it in the kit.

      Oh that’s fair still recommend it for its price though and don’t even get me started on liquid fueled lighters lmao. Don’t get me wrong I’m sure peanut lighters are OK so are zippos in the winter but dang if the area you live at gets any heat whatsoever it just evaporates after a while regardless of gaskets and whatnot (mostly via the wick). Such a frustration when you need it. I switched out my daily zippo for the butane insert for that exact reason and been loving it
