Always carried, always useful
A keyring tool weighs 20 to 60 g (0.7 to 2.1 oz) and is rarely more than 6 cm (2.4 in) closed, so it goes everywhere without any thought. The Leatherman Micra is built around a pair of spring-loaded scissors with a blade, tweezers, a file and drivers in a palm-sized body, and the Gerber Dime fits spring-action pliers, scissors, a blade and drivers into a tool that weighs 62 g (2.2 oz). The Gerber Shard is a single-piece keychain tool with a pry bar, drivers and bottle opener.
Wallet tools
Card-sized tools are stamped from a single piece of steel to the dimensions of a bank card, with cut-outs for drivers, wrenches, openers and a ruler. They have no moving parts to wear, no blade to worry about and weigh almost nothing, making them a practical backup for anyone who carries a wallet.
Travel and UK carry
Several tools in this collection have no blade or a very short non-locking blade, so they can be carried day to day in the UK without good reason. Bladeless tools such as the Gerber Shard and the Leatherman Tread are also the best options for anyone who travels regularly, as they avoid the restrictions on knives at airports and venues.
