I actually don’t edc it anymore. I have an office job now, and half that giant belt clip doesn’t really fit in with the business- casual attire.
But I do keep them in my car, and happened to be using them today in time for those pictures because we’re moving offices this week and I was using them to take apart monitor arms, cut boxes, etc.

… disassemble the corporate helicopter fleet, clean the salmon & beef steaks for the team’s BBQ lunch, tighten the bolts on the hatchway to the HVAC-access roof, recalibrate our GPS markers for the DST changeover… just the usual.
Yeah, when I carried it all the time I was fixing shit left and right.
What it’s really good for is all the little annoyances you notice day to day that aren’t worth a trip to the garage in the moment.
Door knob slightly loose in the back bedroom? Fixed next time you walk in. Drawer sticking? Take care of it now instead of forcing it and forgetting about it later. You don’t even realize how much of that stuff there is until you have the multitool handy at all times.
And the bit driver really is a game changer. You can get a ratcheting version now too.
Bought it years ago on Etsy. Just looked in my email history, and it looks like it was from a user named HoldMyGear. Looks like they’re still active, and they have a version for the ratcheting bit driver too.
I have a 3d printer, but it doesn’t look like the stl is available anywhere. It’s printed really well, though. I don’t know what material it is, but it’s held up a lot better than standard PLA or PETG would.
Edit: looks like he has one for the Surge as well.

Dude, where did you get that holster. I’ve been looking for one that would carry the bits and blades for my surge.
Edit: looks custom printed, nice
