Hey guys, (and gals) Just wondering what kind of key chain tools you have on your……..well your key chain.
Ive had this Gerber Dime for several years and when I traded my car in forgot to get it. Now I needed to get a new one.
Here is my opinion on this key chain tool. Hope you like it.
Yeah I always have my gerber with me. But it’s on my belt, old school I guess. Wow, that sucks you traded it in lol.

it’s either I don’t know how to use those damn things or I just have bad luck but I think I have thrown more of those from pinched fingers than I care to count…..I just don’t like em….
I’m not a fan of bulky keys. So I have two keys, keyless entry remote and a key-shaped bottle opener/slotted screwdriver…but I sharped the tip so the slotted tip can be used to cut things.
Not a fan of bulk either but I pick Gerber’s shard up for like a buck at HD about a year ago. Pretty awesome ive used it quite a few times.

I carry a leatherman skeletool on my belt loop. Not a fan of things in my pocket or keychain I like that Gerber dime might have to get one.
Leatherman Micra, and I use it a lot. Scissors come in handy, even if they’re dinky, for trimming fingernails, cutting cable ties, etc..
Those things are nice I used to have one until one time I forgot I had it and had to give it up at the airport. Either miss my flight or turn it in. Good bye leather man. Damn those terrorists.
have had one of these on my keychain for a couple years. I usually use it to open packages.Jimbos1ice wrote:

I usually keep this small gerber knife
I really like gerber’s paraframe knives for beaters. The open frame is really easy to clean, and the thumb stud gives enough leverage to pry it open easily when the joint is full of crud.
Yeah Gerber! I’m happy with mine, technically not a keychain item I knowLogan p wrote:

I’m not a fan of a lot of keys but it’s an unfortunate reality of work that I carry a shitload of keys. The Leatherman Micra stays on those, and I use it for one thing or another almost every day. Carry a Leatherman Wave and Victorinox SwissTool too, and those are used every day, multiple times a day. I feel completely naked without those and a knife in my pocket.
Yea man. I liked the usb install too. Into your car. And the drain for the compressor.2LateIWon wrote:

I think I will pick one up, but like I mentioned on your YouTube Channel, I think I would cut the bottle opener off.
I have a leatherman crunch, bit set and AAA flashlight on my belt usually. On my keys are this DoohicKEY, and this pair of USA made Craftsman slip joint pliers I got out of a bin at a pawn shop for $0.50.[External image (uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com), not copied][External image (uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com), not copied]

They still sell those USA made slip joints. In my local Sears(both of my nearest locations) they’re located near the pickup tools and retaining ring pliers. They are more than $0.50, like $4 or something.
Really? I’d never seen them that small before. I should have put something in the pic for scale.
Of course, mine aren’t the normal kind, they’re vintage, and made from space age materials.

Yeah man, that’s the only reason I noticed because they’re tiny. I almost bought them but I have no idea what I’d do with them but I still want them for some reason. I mean they’re not your space age vintage model but they’ll do 😛
This is on my keychain, an odd collection of special keys and things, but it’s not a keychain I keep on me

I thought I was the only person on earth that would keep one of them. When they come free. Lol. I started an older model bobcat with it one day when it was in the way at the jobsite. And forgot the key.KnarlyCarl wrote:
