    What is your favorite and "must have" tool that you carry around you ALL the time!

    Here is mine:

    The Swiss Army Cybertool 34

    The Swiss Army Cybertool 41
    http://www.swissarmy.com/webstore/mo...89&category=39

    I picked Cybertool 34 up at my local Fry's Electronics I would have gotten the Cybertool 41, but they didn't have any (or did they carrry them)... and they only had the ruby translucent models... it would have been nice to get the onyx model (34 models only), or maybe even the sapphire.

    It is pretty handy for anything involving quick computer involved fixing. I used to have a gerber and a leatherman, but after I got this I put those away and haven't picked them up since. :)

      I don't go anywhere without my leatherman or a mini-maglite. The leatherman has been used to repair everything from a commercial film processor to my daughter's braces on the side of the freeway. Those cybertools look really great.

        I can't leave home without my iPaq and my cell phone.

                Victrinox. Like a leatherman except all the blades are on the outside so you do not need to open the pliers first to access anything else.

                I needed it sharpened and the guy took the serrated edges off my blade :( I am ready to get a new one now, but I don't want to throw out this old one.

                  While some may not actually consider it a tool, although I think it can be leveraged as one, and I don't actually carry it with me everywhere... I keep a pocket copy of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution readily accessible most of the time. I keep one in my car, and one in my backpack. Between those I am covered most of the time. Some people tell me I'm weird and paranoid, but what's wrong with a little intelligent patriotism. It's a good read and sometimes it is necessary to remind ourselves of the principles our great country was founded on (and has strayed from).

                  oh and I also have a cybertool 34

                    Leatherman Juice C2

                    Replaces the Swiss Army Tinkerer model I had for 12 years - broke the small blade trying to pull out a cork.

                    The C2 has a corkscrew and pliers in a package not much larger than the Tinkerer. I'm not big into the Batman Utility belt look, so the size is just right.

                      I have considered carrying around my dc10 badge... as it has doubled as a coaster, prying tool, mirror, shuriken, etc
                      if it gets me nowhere, I'll go there proud; and I'm gonna go there free.

                        Handspring visor and Schrade pocket tool. (similar to a leatherman)

                              Leatherman Squirt s4 (blue)

                              I just picked this baby up.. it is super duper tiny! it was 29.00$USD (I didn't shop around) from a local sports mart.. and it kicks ass for a little needle nose plier tool with a few screwdriver heads :) Very durable:
                              Length: 2.25 in. / 5.5 cm closed
                              http://www.leatherman.com/products/tools/s4/default.asp


                              My Swiss cybertool 34 has everything I really need, but the pliers look a little weak and have only used them a few times... the squirt's pliers/wire cutters look a lot more durable :)
