As an electronics tech, I always travel around town with a multi-tool cause someone is always wanting me to look at something. Of course, lugging all the little things gets a bit heavy. Since I am starting to walk to the place I have tea twice a day, I am downsizing. Instead of a netbook, I will be carrying the newest Kindle, which will allow me to read, and do internet browsing for parts, etc. The Kindle case is small, but has a zipper pocket, where I can carry my ID, cash, credit cards, and this credit card multi-tool.
With the Swiss Army Cyberlite 34 multi-tool, I can build and tear down a computer. Best multi-tool I have ever owned. Now that I am downsizing, I needed something with small precision phillips, as well as standard phillips. This was the only credit card multi-tool that had micro phillips, phillips, and flatblade. Other features which help is the 3X magnifier for reading ultra small print on circuit boards, a light to be able to add just enough light to see into those small dark areas of a computer, and a pen to write down the information. The scissors are great for cutting paper, and are strong enough to cut some thicker stuff, but would refrain from cutting plastic cable ties as it probably wouldn't last long. The knife is nice, though it needs sharpening if you ready need to cut something other than an opening envelope. The tweezers are like all other Swiss Army tweezers. Personally I think they should add a 1/64 inch 90 degree bend on one edge. I think that would help in picking up things and pulling splinters from the finger. The ruler is in metric, and a nice straight edge. Hard to see inside, though easy to read outside. The final item is a straight pin. At first, i could see no real reason for it. Then I remember all the time I need to open a cut that had a splinter inside, and was a bit infected. Perfect touch.
This credit card size multi-tool will never replace my Cyberlite, but for on-the-fly stuff, I cannot image a better set of all around tools in such a small package.
The only design change I would recommend is to be able to have the light project out of the bottom of the 3X magnifier, though i can see the possibility of damage to the light bulb in the long run.
