Hey Sling, that energizer is cool, the prob is getting decent batteries for the micro torch. My micro torch looks like a candle after I changed the batteries.
I rotate a Leatherman Micra and a SAK through my keychain. But my go to is the tiny Leatherman Style. To access the blade of the micra one has to open the scissors, cumbersome.

Hi Lanceman, an important criteria for my EDC is that it should not attract any attention. I zeroed in on the Boker Subcom simply because it looks nothing like a knife and yet, is a superb utility blade. Its practically invisible. And this has served me really well.

I use the Squirt PS4 because it has most of the utilities needed for EDC, is very small and all the tools including the little knife are available on the outside unlike the Micra.The most used tool continues to be the scissors. Having said that, I have definitely used the pliers on multiple occasions to pull out stuff from my shoes, my car tyres etc. I use it as a big tweezer :)

The Utilikey....is super backup. And this one is much better than the previous one. Totally invisible.

The UZI Tactical Pen, is actually my longest serving pen ever. Even though it has a self defence role, it is actually a very good pen. And unlike other pens, it is made from aircraft grade aluminum so its very strong. It writes really well.

And the micro light from Energiser is really cheap. Picked it up for about 300 rupees. And it uses 2 CR2032 coin batteries that are available. So hopefully it will be fine. It is a metal body and has a lifetime guarantee as well....but if it has a problem, I shall just get myself another one. Actually, I was considering a Photon Freedom and maybe shall get myself one soon. :)

Choombak, that skull tool looks neat. I can make out the screwdriver (chin part) and the hex spanner (mouth). What are the eye sockets and nose socket used for?

On a lighter note, you can wear this as a ring and roam around like Phantom, punching bad guys on the jaw!
Cheers!

The nose is a wire stripper, the screwdriver has a slightly sharpened box cutter notch, in addition to hex wrench. Most useful are the driver (scraper as well) and box cutter. The eyes and nose, I believe, complete the look, but have no real purpose. This is version 2, and I believe he now has v3 with a bottle opener.

Here is a shot showing the box cutter notch...

S30V. When TT started out, these were around $15-20 or so, now I think around $40.
