KEYCHAIN POCKET & PURSE

Clip a light or driver on your pocket, because sometimes a big ol’ tool is great and other times all you need is a little one. This nice two-piece combo pack includes a sturdy 5-3/8" long LED Versa Beam® penlight-style flashlight with 2 light levels including a blinding 200 lumens hi-mode, slide focus and pocket clip. The pocket driver includes (8) precision bits, 2mm & 3mm slotted, #1 & #2 Phillips and T5-T8 Torque bits that store in the 4-3/8" knurled body and, of course a pocket clip. Set comes with (2) AAA batteries.

It will be if you buy this bright-as-a-Phi-Beta-Kappa COB LED 3W flashlight, with a bonus red laser. Measures a mere 4-3/4" x 1-1/8" dia and comes with (3) “AAA” batteries inside, where they belong. In a knurled aluminum body of a color that we’ll pick for you (gray, black, red or blue) because who cares what color a flashlight is. (Note: flashlight and pointer can't be on at the same time.)

Nobody would dare vote you off the island if you have this stainless steel survival tool. Smaller than a credit card at 2-3/4" x 1-3/4", it has (11) functions: can opener, knife edge, flathead screwdriver, small ruler, bottle opener, 4-position wrench, saw blade, 2-position wrench and a couple more. Slip it into your wallet or hang it on your keychain, then go get lost.

It's a 10-tool Swissesque military survival knife, but without those red plastic handles to break and fall off. Includes stainless steel 2-1/2" knife blade, flathead driver/bottle opener, saw blade, scissors, can opener, fish scaler/nail set, corkscrew, Phillips driver, awl, nail file and the needle-like thing for making buckskin clothes in case you're lost for years. Has a split ring to hang your keys from.

It's all make-believe, but it's also the best-selling Japanese manga series of all time. (Just ask your favorite millennial—they’d be thrilled to explain it to you.) This collectible analog wristwatch features the Sailor Scouts on the colorful stained-glass watch dial, and a Moon Stick second hand. Hours are denoted by colored rhinestones on the case, and they fashionably match each member of the quintet. Leather band measures about 8-3/4”, so it should fit the wrist of most guardians of love and justice. Watch face is 1.1”, and the whole shebang is powered by an AG4 battery.

The Cybertrek watch, in appropriately heavy metal, has no numbers on its diamond-patterned face, but uses a series of blue and red lights to tell time. From Gadgets and Gizmos, who do this sort of thing. Uses (2) CR2016 batteries that may or may not need replacing (inter-dimensional travel is tough on batteries). We look at this watch and wonder if Neo himself delivered it. Time will tell. Integrated chain-link wristband band is 8” long. Replacement batteries available here. CR2016

Call it the Angus MacGyver combo pack, with a 13-function multitool, a 15-function knife like the Swedish Army only wishes it had issued, and an aluminum flashlight on a split ring so you can operate the other two in the dark if you have to. Too many functions to list without our fingers getting blistered, but you'll find knife blades of several sizes, (3) saws, bottle and can openers, screwdrivers of various sizes and shapes, pliers, a wire cutter, a corkscrew, the ever-popular awls and more. The tools measure: 3-3/4" for the knife, 6-1/4" for the multiboy, and 3-1/2" for the flashlight. Makes us want to go out in the woods and survive.

Our smallest leather-type-person multitool is made to hang on your keychain, and we know that because it has a 1-1/4” carabiner attached to it. Measures approx 3” long x 1” x 1/2” when closed, and opens to a spring-loaded needle-ish nose pliers with wire cutter, wire stripper, knife, file, (2) slotted drivers, #0 Phillips, serrated blade/saw, nail cleaner, bottle opener and the ever-popular awl. It’ll do most of the jobs you need done. The lightweight, stainless-steel construction means it won't drag down your pack or belt. A must-have for any scout or handy-person.

You don't need cargo pants to carry a leatherdude multitool. "The Minimalist" is the gentleman's answer to being prepared. Includes Phillips and flat screwdrivers, wire-cutting slot, file, black titanium knife blade, bottle opener and a carabiner clip to attach your keys—all in a compact 3-1/2" x 3/4" x less than 1/2" thick package. Pat loves the sample he "borrowed" and it's on his key chain right now.

Some of us here at the home office have a special devotion to Betty Boop, the cartoon cutie who made Snow White look like Pluto. Which is why we snapped up these 9" x 4-1/2" zippered pencil pouches festooned with images of Betty on the front and a genuine, faux, black-leatherette back. Has a surprise polka dot interior and no, of course you don't have to use it just for pencils. Got intellectual property worries? This is an Officially Licensed Betty Boop product.

Perhaps you need a silicone coin purse, or perhaps you just want one on account of their being such cute little bulbous things with their double-ball closures. Plus you can keep anything you want in it. Ours measure 4” x 3” x 1-7/8” with a metal frame and a very pleasing, smooth feel. You pick lime green or robin’s egg blue.

And what does he dangle from? A 21” long lanyard festooned with dozens more trolls. The lanyard has a molle buckle to detach the dangling troll, and a 3” x 3-1/2” ID card holder, held together on a slip ring that is, in turn, on a slide bolt key holder. It’s a cornucopia of little holders.

Four carabiners, no waiting. These are for keys and stuff, not for hanging around Mt. Everest. We'll pick a quartet of 2-3/4" x 1-3/8" carabiners in assorted vibrant anodized-aluminum colors, including black and polished silver. They open to a max of 5/8" and each has a complimentary 7/8" slip-ring at absolutely no extra charge.

This handsome gunmetal gray watch with a brown leather band would look good on anyone’s wrist, but fans of the Berzerk anime and manga series (particularly Guts) will find it extra dandy. It’s an analog beauty with a 1-1/4” dark gunmetal face with deep red hour and minute hands and graphics around the edge of the face and a sword as a second hand. The Berzerk emblem is located below the 12 o-clock position and on the strap loop and the bottom of the watch face has two rows of chevron-like armor plate. Splash and rain-resistant. Comes in a black designer gift box lined with red felt, too.

From Nite Ize®, these extra-light NextGlo™ Visibility Markers and ID Tags have S-biners (double-headed carabiners) to hold your keys and clip them to something (like a pack or belt loop) while you’re on the go. No more fussing with split rings; these quick-change clips save your fingernails and your time.The NextGlo material charges in minutes under any light and lasts for hours so you can find your tent zipper, backpack or last piece of pizza at night.  You pick: the set of (2) ellipsoidal ID tags that you can write on, 1-1/4" x 5/8" with one orange, one yellow; or the single larger 2-1/4" x 5/8" glower in an extruded X shape, our choice of orange or yellow.

No offense, but it’s only truly devoted members of the nerdocracy that have a Nintendo® lanyard, implying that maybe, just maybe, they’ve been invited to NES competitions, or have an uncle Mario or Luigi. Our lanyards have 15-3/4" x 3/4" wide neck straps and are marked either Nintendo® Entertainment Systems with a clip and a rubber game controller icon on the end, or festooned with Mario Bros™ characters, with a clip and nice rubber Nintendo toad. We’ll pick (2) different ones for you as long as we have them, but after that you’ll get what you get without throwing a fit.

Measuring a pocket- or purse-sized 3” x 1-1/4” x 1/2”, this 12-in-1 multitool has textured aluminum handles, and stainless steel blades and bits that include long-nose pliers with cutters, a file, two slotted and one #0 Phillips driver, an awl, saw, knife and can opener. We’ll pick one in gray, blue, red or green to match your eyes. Great tools for scouts or campers.

This small, clip-on, retractable cord reel measures just 1” dia x 3/8” thick, in black plastic over steel, with its spring clip on the back. A very thin nylon cord pulls out to reach 18-1/2”, with a closed wire loop at the end to hold a key or whatever (think: name-badge holder). Doesn’t lock open, so just pull it out and use the attachment, and it automatically retracts when you let go. We had a sixth-grade nun with one of these, but we never knew what the key was for.
