This is an awesome kit, but I have to wonder why you use this as your EDC? Work related? Illegal maintenance?
I tend to do most of the repairs in my home myself. In the last year I have repaired my stove twice, electrical outlets twice, broken belt on my clothes dryer, replaced a toilet, a faucet, a garbage disposal. A lot of times I start with this kit but I may go get other full size tools if they are convenient.
I have ADHD, so having tools on hand is very helpful for fixing things before I get distracted. Also putting together the perfect mini-toolkit has been one of my most recent ADHD obsessions for the last few months.
I don't generally need most of the bits, the tape, glue stick, lighter or cordage.
My most frequent needs are: Cutting tool for opening packages, and breaking down boxes. All different sizes of screwdrivers, for opening things or on the fly or tightening of screws that have come loose. Pliers can double as tweezers, nut crackers, tighten down loose bolts, pulling fuses in my car.
Also in the last few months I switched from carrying everything in my pockets to using a sling bag, so having a few extra tools that don't get used all the time is not a big deal.
I also happily perform maintenance in public places if I see the need and have the necessary tools. I recently fixed a sign in my neighborhood that came loose on one side and was making a lot of noise when the wind would blow.
I love the energy. There is a playground near us that has a dizzy-stick (I'm inventing a name here, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about) with a loose bolt that I think I'm going to fix tomorrow.
I love/hate those vomit copters, dizzy stick is a great name
The ones with the double bend at the top for hands so you can two-fist send a kid up to 3G in lateral force... Fuck those things were a torment
Under 20s only!
You could fit a small soldering iron in there too, like the Pinecil or TS80P.
That Pinecil looks pretty cool.
I haven't actually tried the Pinecil myself. I do have the Miniware TS80 (not TS80P, so no USB PD support in mine) and these small soldering irons in general are pretty awesome.
