It was time to replace the Victorinox toolkit I had in my wallet for a few years -- the knife won't stay in place, the swingout cover for the scissors has fallen off, and just the other day I lost the nailfile/flat screwdriver it seems. I got the Victorinox at the GSA surplus place -- you know, where stuff that gets confiscated at the airport winds up for public sale? -- for one dollar, when normally they're around $20.
But I've looked at newer Victorinox kits, and I'm not so pleased. Sure, they've added a feature or two like LED flashlights and Phillips screwdrivers, but then they've taken away a feature or two that I actually use so I kept looking. Mine has: knife, file, flat screwdriver, toothpick, tweezers, ballpoint pen, scissors, and rulers.
Pacific Lutheran University's bookstore (in their new location it's known as Garfield Book Company) is having a clearance sale on a flock of stuff -- $15 for PCMCIA Ethernet or WiFi b/g/y cards, wow! -- and I knew they had Tool Logic brand tool cards from a previous visit. They have 3 different cards (including a rather thick 'office supplies' one with stapler) for $7, down from $15-$20, so I picked up the two wallet cards. The second, a 10-in-1 ICE Companion, is in my car (not shown here) and has a 2" serrated blade, compass, 8x magnifier, and bottle opener along with some more standard tools.
So the new card is a T1 Business Card 12-in-1, which contains scissors, knife, file, flat and Phillips screwdrivers, sewing needle with thread spool, tweezers, toothpick, rulers, and removable clip (removed). And it's slightly thinner than the Victorinox so it's not as tight a fit in my wallet.
It is probably good to bring a toolkit on a road trip. It is sad that we had to use it as we did ...

The Brompton Toolkit is in the shop and while it may be later than they anticipated, it will not disappoint. Very Nicely designed and lovely machining to boot! Come on in and check it out.
I have been involved in a long term project in Scotland, involved with procuring a toolkit to enable transformational training for Housiing Options. This will help prevent homelessness and look to help people presenting, by considering all their needs.

Someone who does general home repairs for a living has to carry a whole bunch of tools, because "you never know what next" So, the "toolbox" is sometimes the bed of his pickup. What about when it rains, you say? Right, a cover would be prudent. But Tommy is normally more involved in drumming up business, making estimates and supervising his crew, as opposed to actual hands-on work. So, he doesn't carry the tool outfit on all occasions.

Some asked what I was using. A mix of Windsor Newton and Daniel Smith. I have another smaller pocket palette I'll put together and eliminate some colors to get it down to 14 colors. HB mechanical (which has drawn just about everything since about 1994...), Da Vinci #2 and #4 and an Escoda #4 but I'll replace that with a #6. Sharpie, and Micron #03 and #08. Paper is made by Moleskin and is their watercolor album. Clear ruler to get things straight and a small plastic syringe that comes in handy here and there. Paper towel for dabbing. I need to get a small folding juice box for water...
Nice little gift for my birthday this past February from Lynn and Leigh.
The package consists of a DVD containing the film, a set of 5 campaigning "basics" cards and 10 "tactics" cards on a variety of campaigning "how-tos" such as: mobilise people, present complex data, amplify personal stories, visualise a message, and use humour to communicate a message. The cards feature detailed case studies, as well as tools and tips suggested by people who have used these tactics in different contexts. Online at www.informationactivism.org/
