I carry this pouch every single day in my front pocket for unexpected situations and quick problem-solving 🛠️

The Alpaka Hub pouch V2 is the best choice for me, because it combines wallet and tool storage functions.

- Whistle (130 dB)

- SD-card reader + USB C adapter + SD-micro card (128 GB)

- lighter with tape on the bottom

- FU-Pick (Covert Instruments) + tensioner (must have as a brown belt picker)

- Sewing kit

- Powerbank card (2500 mAh, only 4 mm thick)

- Reusable cable ties

- Medical adhesive bandages

- Iodine swabs

- 7llL mini ratchet TG + extension (T-Handle) + 1 double sided bit

- Victorinox Compact

- Knipex Cobra XS + Bitholder for 2 more double sided bits

- Left side of the pouch:

Debit card, IDs, cash, membership cards, photos of my wonderful wife

Here is my "Vacation Rental" pouch for a few AirBnB trips this spring and summer. For context, I'm driving (no TSA) so weight is not an issue, but I have two kids (hence all the cleaning materials) so space is at a premium, and I didn't want to bring the whole toolbox.

I gave myself an 8" pouch to work into and tried to utilize only existing tools from both my home toolbox and my EDC pouch. Trying to thread the "get it done" / overkill needle. Currently, coming in at 2lbs 10oz without the Leatherman, which lives in my pocket.

Appreciate any recs/edits!

I am looking for a tool pouch to store my Hollow Shaft Nut drivers and a couple other tools while walking around the jobsite. I really like the design of the Veto SC-45 but it has been out of stock for almost a year now and not sure when it will become available again. Also it is a little outside my price range.

The main specs I want are:

Vertical opening so I can access the tools while on my hip

Belt hook/strap preferably one I can unhook from my belt without taking my belt off.

Not to look super "military" nothing against the armed forces I just prefer a more civilian look for my tool bags

Thanks in advance!

This is what I've been carrying and trying to perfect for the last few months. Previously I just had a simple leather card wallet then I either carried all the edc gear in the pocket of a bunch of different pouches.

I wanted a bit of change and decided to try out a combined wallet & edc pouch. I'm used to carrying my wallet in the front pocket of my jeans so I was a bit worried about the bulkiness of this, but as I've mostly started using my phone to pay instead of a card, I've been able to put this in a bag or jacket pocket.

- ReefKnotBags ranger waxed canvas pouch

- Nextool Mini Sailor Lite

- Rovyvon A8

- Fisher Bullet

- Gerber Mullet

- Kent 20T

- Victorinox eyeglass screwdriver

- Victorinox back tool hook

A bit of context for the Victorinox hook; I've started cycling again and I've found the hook to be a pretty useful tool for pulling the chain back into place. You may note the lack of blades, and that's because in Finland blades are illegal (and they've just made the punishments harsher), so I don't want to risk carrying a large SAK with a hook on it. The hook is left over from a mod I did some time ago.

The small eyeglass screwdriver sits in the bottom of the pocket where the Rovyvon and bullet are.

To compensate for the lack of blades in the pouch, I have a Victorinox Rambler on my keys. Even though blades ARE illegal I'm hoping that IF the police ever have a reason to search me they won't be too harsh about a teeny tiny blade like that.

Cover all my needs.

Looking for recommendations to replace my cheap pouch (main zipper has finally given out). Ideally below $100 and will fit everything pictured + 1 or 2 small items. Am open to a harder case style also. Appreciate any help in advance!

Just a simple leather sheath i found online. It holds my Leatherman Supertool 300 and my Fenix LD30 like it was made for them. I put a bolt thru the bottom of the flashlight side to make sure it didn't slip thru, though it never has, and attached a split ring in case I want to hang something else. A sharpie fits in the little gap between the pouches just right. Its not everything I carry, but it works great.
