That’s the pliers I mentioned in my original comment…

Because of what I EDC (literally, just what I listed before, plus keys, phone, wallet, paper and pen), the toolbag at my work, and its contents, stays in my employee locker for weeks at a time. I did forget to mention a 4.5, maybe 5 inch folding pocket-knife, whict I use for … let’s say kiosks/“atm”/point-of-sale/arcade/digital signage repair … more than you, or even I when I threw it in the bag on a whim, might expect.

Other than a pump, I’m not sure where my EDC falls short for biking, although I do also have a torque-wrench, metric impact socket-set, a couple large Crescent Wrenches, plus the normal oem-kit I keep in my SUV (unrelated, but plus my family’s roller-skates, swim-suits, sweaters, climbing gear, cargo-straps and towing stuff). That car is also the over-flow for stuff I don’t usually use in the garage or have too many of though. I actually despise all but the beefiest Crescent wrenches.

Kool-aid man knocked the whole thing out of orbit. They’re bodies have been stuck like this, in relation to the shuttle, for days, and now for the rest of time.

Sounds like you don’t deal with nuts & bolts much? I also carry a pair of “needle-nose” vice-grips, a Kobalt 13-in-1 Double Drive screw-driver, 2 sets of impact nut-drivers, this thing, and a quarter-inch ratcheting box-wrench. Don’t go more than a few days without using all of it, several times over.

Even with the suits on, as shown, it would just take longer for them to die like so.

My Knipex Mini Pliers. Literally open large (and strong)enough to handle every nut or bolt I encounter at my day-job, but they weigh about nothing and take up almost no space in the tool-bag I keep on my belt at all times.

Sure, blame the kids. Not like that’s exactly what previous generations have done or anything. All I see here is more blame-shifting and passing the buck.
