Small Tool Kit Pouch - 2.0 

One of the most thoughtful kits I've ever seen, and it's so compact!

That zip tie placement is a great idea

Very well thought out kit John. Got choked up when you mentioned your father giving you that tool set, I lost my dad 4 days ago suddenly. He gave me a set of Allen wrenches just like yours. I’m going to build a kit like this. Thank you for the inspiration.

Valid criticism from the person saying that 'small kits' like this aren't good for a lot of jobs...yeah, you aren't going to use this kit to build a fence, change a tire, or chop down a tree - but it could certainly help you change out a starter on your truck or motorcycle on the side of the road and get you home, make an electrical repair, or help a friend fix a home appliance or assemble something they just bought. It could certainly be a weekend saver if you took it along on a trip to some place remote and were able to make a repair that kept you from having to cut your vacation short to resolve the issue. I'm all about having the 'right tool for the right job' and roll my eyes at some of the gimmick multi-tools you see in some of these kits that, IMHO, aren't even worth carrying. That is not the case here. This kit is chocked-full of EXTREMELY useful and versatile tools that will easily slip into a pants pocket, center console, saddle bag, or side pocket of a backpack. Great balance of functionality and portability. 👍

Very sneaky on the zip ties...Nice!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍

Collection of very practical and useful tools in the kit. I enjoyed watching it. CONGRATULATIONS

Honestly the best edc tool kit I’ve seen! No gimmicks here

My opinion on tool kits. Tools give you options. The more tools you have the more options you have. Some tools are better than no tools. Each person should have their own EDC to fit their needs.

I can’t believe you have so many tools in such a small pouch.

The man is sporting a Seiko SKX. Very handy looking kit. Love your book "Build The Perfect Survival Kit. Great video. Thank you.

A very well thought out tool kit. Would be great for motorcycle traveling.

One of the best ones I’ve seen. Some are just too much. For a small kit, this covers everything you could ever possibly need without the bulk.

This was the video that started my Knipex pliers addiction!

Amazing. All more functional stuff than a Leatherman.

Most impressive part if this video is he has all the sockets still from 30 years ago! Lol Cool kit!

The zip tie hide make my day

One of the best and most well thought out videos I have seen!

Excellent small tool pouch! Obviously the person who made the negative comment has never been in a situation with NO tools! I can tell you,that after having been stuck on the Ohio river with a broken down outboard motor and having to carve a stick to insert into the carburetor where the air mix screw had vibrated out and then had a steering cable break as well as a dead battery to boot, I would have been very glad to have a small tool kit like yours! (It was a bad day! Lol!)

That's a really cool little kit. I would think a small needle nose pliers would also be helpful in the kit, just thinking out side the box a little. You have a good one and God Bless.

Love your company John. Always happy with my orders.

this is a great toolkit to have in your EDC even if you are camping or something well thought through aswell

Thanks John, I love how you find ways of storing extra gear in places most wouldn't even think of. I'm going to be keeping an eye out for smaller tools now to build my own; all I own are large tools. I think I'll keep my Leatherman screwdriver bits in my kit as I find it too much to carry it in its' own belt pouch .

This seem to cover most scenarios that might pop up throughout he day. I like it. I have a lot of these tools already just never thought of pooling them together in one kit. 👍🏽🛠

Hi John, this kit is one of the most comprehensive ones I have seen in its class. I like it and will be using your kit as a guide to building one for my roadside safety kit. Thank You

I like both kits, well thought out. Thanks John.

Awesome kit. I like that really compact Allen wrench set from your Dad. Good old school solid design!

Mini tools are all I've ever needed in an average emergency, on my bike or in the house, around the house.

Very comprehensive kits I probably use my mini tool kit more than my other tools Always in my work pack

Great comprehensive kit. I love my Topeak Ratchet. I use it all the time.

I have carried a mine tool kit for 35 years. It fits in my pocket and has saved my bacon many times. It is called a Victorinox Swiss Champ.

Nice kit. Love the Maxpedition pouches. I run a mini for my EDC

Great video. Great small set-up. Thank you for the ideas.

I love how you fitted that zip-tie into that seam.

Really impressed with that. I would suggest looking at the Knipex Plier Wrench. It replaces the adjustable wrench but it far more useful 86 03 125 That is the 5" size. They do larger ones.

Great little kit! Small tool kits are super handy. That's almost the exact same setup I carry in a small 10" tool bag for service plumbing work. The bag is larger just in case I need room for parts. If the problem happens to be too big then I can grab full sized or specialty tools.

Another good video. Thanks. Have enjoyed and learned much from two of your books. Bruce

Nice kit John

Absolutely awesome kit. One thing I'd add to mine though is a mini led flashlight. It seems I always need one when I don't have one.

Great kit! Thanks for sharing!

Great kit , thanks for sharing it with us

Outstanding, as always. In order for a tool to be useful one must be smarter than the tool.

And here I was thinking that my kit was good to go, ....back to the drawing board lol thanks for sharing my friend 🇺🇸🤙🏻🅰️

You Sir, are a genius!

What an awesome kit….👍👍👍

Excellent kit. It's well thought out, and very nicely done. Good work.

Another great kit. Since it's a little larger, adding a retractable magnetic retriever always proves to be handy, especially if you drop a small screw on the ground in the grass. Keep up the great work.

Nice kit and great video. Thanks for making/sharing this vid.

Very well thought out, you can tell this is built over time through experience with actual useful tools. Unlike a lot of tool kits you see on youtube that are made up with a bunch of fancy overpriced tools that never get used

At the 7:20 mark, that is an interesting socket rachet and bit screwdriver.

Mind blown on that zip tie great work

Nice kit. Covers most bases. Keep 'Em Coming :)

Brilliant!!!!!

Another great kit...small vise grips..priceless...

Great setup. I would love a setup like this.

This kit is astonishing

Wow what a great kit of course you've got knipex pliers and mini vice grips which are infinitely useful. But then you've got that tiny little super versatile ratchet and the doctor what you McCall it tool and jeweler files that I have never seen before. Great stuff. Also like the idea of putting the sewing awl needle in the handle you already have

Good job,I like the way you think

Thanks! I've finally found someone who has the same mini file/screwdriver sets and know where I can find them. I got mine from Radioshack and have always wondered who made them. Now I know I can get spares. 👍

Very cool kit

Hi John, I LOVE, LOVE your tool kit. The zip tie trick is highly ingenious and made me laugh so hard. I also like your SEIKO SKX. I have one just like it SKX 009. ONE CRITIC: You missing a magnet. Preferably get the antenna magnet with a pen clip. John, May God bless you and may life be good to you. And I did subscribe to your channel. We need more content from you

so well thought out

Great kit!

Very nice Kit !

Thats great kind sir, great kit, 👍👍👍👍

Very good kit, I have a very similar one, with a leatherman crunch instead of the vice grip plus wire cutter. And I have a hex bit driver in combination with the ratchet with bits.

Both nice kits and good ideas to add to mine thanks .

Great pack that is actually of some use, gave me some ideas

Great package! I got some ideas from it:) I did one like it, a while back I realized there was a whole lota handle in that so I got rid of most of the handle-padding, that was a bunch of weight and thickness, I used the exact same maxpedition pouch. Just sharing ideas, I think these things are fun because no matter what you do there's always ways to tweek it, there is no perfect pouch. lock pickers are always a nice add, surprised I've never seen that on one of these videos

thought out...... good job!!!

Great video I made my own version recently a little bit more streamlined but I like the lack of bulk so it rides well in my front left pocket and I add things if I think I’ll need them that particular day. Your definitely seems to check all the boxes

very similar to mine. mine is in a maxpedition edc pouch, so i have a bit more room. well done sir!

great pocket size tool kit

@ Survivalresources , Hi John, Long time no see, I met you at a PathFinders Gathering. Great small tool kits. Very Common Sense. I made a tool pouch around my Leatherman Crunch, Surge, SpeedHex & Speeedfit 1/4 and 5/16 Drive Bits. My tool kit is very complete and bloomed into 2 a pouch kit. My tool kit blends right in with my truck tool kitand its heavy duty tools. Thanks again the great video. Peace out Todd.

Great ideas. I I’m a Fedex courier and I’ve been looking into putting together a small toolkit for when I’m on the road. Got some great ideas from you, thanks.

Very nicely explained

great kit, I already have a pouch like that, Im going to do something similar. Also the socket set can be found at home depot now made by makita, exact same design and they even throw in a 1/4" socket bit.

excellent kit. learned a lot from that.

_Either Or, depends on your particular situation personally, I like both. Thanks for the video Brother._

both kits are very nice.....

Very good content. Very much liked the video. I myself is a mechanical engineer and loves to carry some edc toolkit with me anywhere I go. Very much useful information was provided in this video. Loved it😍

WELL DONE!

Good ideas for survival ….. very appreciate.

That’s awesome! I gotta make one

thats a nice kit you made. but i think you could add a leatherman surge with the bit set that way you could replace a lot of your tools maybe nearly half of them plus the surge will have things like a scissors and at the same time you get space for other things you want to add

Super kit!

Nice kit

Another great kit, just enough to get yourself home in a pinch if you had to.

Nice set. Very close to mine.

Very nice kit! im building my first tool kit as well.

Nice trick with the zip tie!

ExcellenT kit!

Excellent

I have a Mini and Fatty Maxpedition organizers. The mini contains writing tools, phone charger, cable and a pair of earbuds, as well as a Fenix light and two 18650 spare batteries. The Fatty is my EDC first aid kit. For tools I use some similar pouch, Solognac - an Decathlon hunting brand. In that one I have Knipex Pliers Wrench, snips, and 140 mm nose pliers, also Mob-IUS bit screwdriver kit, and an Leatherman Wave with its bit set.

well done!

I also used the Maxpedition pouch for my really-EDC Tool kit (and, being German, there are the usual suspects of tools included, Knipex Cobra & so on). I posess quite a few Maxpedition organizers of various sizes for this and that and like them a lot, as other bags & packs, but for that size range I found the product of their competitor Vanquest to be superior. The PPM Slim, as it‘s called, is just a tiny bit larger, still fits well into my back jeans pocket and is better laid out, as far as the organizational straps etc. are concerned. Just as a hint to try out...

Knipex 86 03 125 could cut the weight in half. Great video

improvise. adapt. overcome. well now, you're going to have to put that for sale in the SR store. and to that negative nelly, he probably uses a Leatherman for his main tool edc. thanks for sharing, Teufel Hunden. Semper Fi.

this is 1 multi tool away from perfection

This is an amazing compact tool kit. Besides the obvious. What makes this kit so good is it's based on real tools, not a multi-tool like a Leatherman or Gerber for example. Not knocking multi-tools. I just think real tools are a better option for a tool kit like this. Too bad some of those items are no longer available.

Nice kit, 👍 but if I could add anything it would be a nice pair of needle nose pliers, you can never go wrong with a long and narrow set of pincers.
