I need something lightweight and portable for basic household projects. So far on this trip I've needed a #2 Phillips screwdriver, wrench (of unknown size, adjustable would be great) and pocket knife. I've looked at SwissThere are several lite weight multi meters at places like Harbor freight.
Army knives and Leathermen and also thought about putting together a small kit myself, but am not really sure which way to go.
A small autoranging multimeter would be helpful, too. I wanted to check a fuse and didn't have anything handy to do it with.
Size and weight are big factors, it's going to go in checked luggage when
we visit my wife's family.
Any suggestions on what to look at?

Has quite the "situation" back in '76 when a friend and his fiance
wanted to go th the Tulsa Street Rod Nationals in his chocked
channeled 396 Model A coupe and had no way to carry any luggage. He
was trying to figure out how to put a trailer hitch on the old "A
Bone" when I suggested I go along to Tulsa with the '57 Fargo and his >fiance's friend decided to go along with me in the truck. I had my
complete mechanic's tool kit under the tanneau cover along with the
camping equipment and other luggage. The US border agents asked where
I was going, and what Iwas planning on doing -- and WHY I had a
quarter ton of tools in the truck!!!! Was I planning on working while
in the states??? I pointed to the model A in the next lane and said
"would YOU drive a 48 year old car and a 19 year old truck to oklahoma >without tools??? and that I'd be just THRILLED if I never had to
unlock the box. I was able to register them so there would be no
question of "importation" bringing them back home
When on a "service call" to the east coast, on a domestic flight, I
was able to hand my "tool bag" to the pilot before boarding the plane
and pick it up from him at my destination. Goof thing I had not put
them in checked luggage because I didn't see THAT for 3 days - - -
(and 2 further stops)

IMHO these tools are more of a novelty, a conversation piece. They
seldom are small enough or large enough to be of any use. Yes there
will be easy spots to get to that have nothing in the way but quite
often you need to reach a spot in a narrow area or need more leverage
than the tool would afford you.
I would rather sacrifice room for the right tools that are more likely
to work in tricky situations.
I have a multitool in my urban bugout bag, which is for emergency
use only. (Think having to leave home for a week due to fire,
earthquake etc.} If things go right, I will never use it.

There are two multitools I have used that work well.
One is the leatherman Micra, which does a dandy job of trimming
fingernails, tightening eyeglasses, and opening envelopes. It used to
live on my key chain until I started working somewhere with an
absolutely no knives policy (I asked security if it was OK and while
they were fine with it, HR said NO NO NO in anguished tones and
started an investigation to find out why anybody would even _think_
about possessing such a horrible weapon).
The other is the Swiss Army Cybertool, which I used to carry when I
was fixing computers for a living--it has every tool I needed day to
day including the big and little Torx drivers. I kept a Jensen
toolkit in the car but only brought it in on the rare occasions that I >encountered something the Cybertool wouldn't do (usually crimp network >cables) or when it was necessary to "look professional".

Bucket Bag. Used them for years contracting. Paired with a small clip
on tool pouch and parts pouch you have what you need right there for 90%
of all projects... unless you are one of those people who likes to run
up the clock walking back to the truck fifty times instead of actually >thinking through the job before leaving the truck the first time. The >pouches are for running up a ladder.
Hint. Do not waste your money on hardware store buckets. They are crap
that won't last. Old machine oil buckets and coolant buckets last much >longer. Drywall mud buckets don't last either, but some paint buckets
are ok.
Alternatively if its going to be a prolonged project a tool cart is
useful. You just have to be disciplined enough to empty the tool cart
when you are done.

I was working a temp job, and at the break the lead came and told
me that HR said I wasn't allowed to have "a weapon" on me. And my
little 3 inch mini tanto qualified. I responded along the lines of
"That's not a weapon, that just a knife." to which he responded "I
know, this isn't a weapon, I keep that ...", and bent over reaching
for his ankle. We both laughed.
I worry about these modern neo-pagan luddites, so fearful of
weapons, so ignorant of how dangerous other items can be. Car keys,
ID badges, lanyards, staplers, coffee mugs, etc, etc.

Once you have your list, order tools online and have it shipped there.

Straight bits, Phillips bits, Robertson bits and nut drivers. This
alone would make a great gift.

While they sound useful, the folding tools are a literally a pain. I
don't know how many time I have pinched the skin on my hands in the
folding joints.
I would also consider a multi screw driver with several bits that can

Yes, I've come to realize one of those 6-in-1s would handle most of the
screwdriving needs... Now for something to handle nuts and bolts.
Lastly, do you really want to try to fly during this time with all of

Prius or a Piper.
