Pocket organizer:

  • SOG Powerpint
  • Bits
  • Irega 100mm adjustable wrench
  • Refillable lighter
  • Flashlight
  • Snap blade knife
  • Pen
  • Zip ties
  • Hot glue
  • Paper clips
  • Ferrocerium rod

Attached to keys:

  • Sennheiser SoundProtex concert earplugs with included pouch
  • Normal earplugs

I made the pocket organizer 2 or 3 years ago. It has some holes but i plan to make a new one when I upgrade my multi-tool (Roxon Flex most likely). The new one will have a zipper for the central pouch so it opens like a book with small pockets inside.

The keys are on a screw with some washers and o-rings as spacers (I don’t like rattling keys).

Aside from these I also carry my phone, wallet and Casio W800H-1BV.

    I love pocket organizers. You’d think its just adding another item to your pocket and it is. But for me i carry one with mini crescent wrench, telescoping magnet, emergency meds, chapstick, a sharpie, 2 regular pens, a pocket comb, I forget anything else off hand.

    Vs the other pocket is not big enough for an organizer and it erks my nerve. Anything I need slides in and out and is organized quickly. My other pocket I have to dig for leatherman micra scissors, Bose earbuds, milmaukee flashlight, leatherman wave plus, Milwaukee 6ft mini tape measure, and a 16gb flash drive for odds and ends because you never know. Then you got a wallet with the usuals. Cell phone. Glock 26.

    Edit: I like the idea of tiny zip ties, and a paper clip, good idea for reset buttons and such.

      I think of using pocket organizers as combining items. Instead of carrying 10 individual items you carry one larger thing.

    Nice setup. I really like the custom pouch. that’s the kind of thing I like to make.

    Is that elastic webbing stitched as a bit storage?

    I had high hopes for the SOG Powerpint. The bitholder is genius, as is its compound leverage for the pliers, like other SOG multitools. And then the can opener snapped off while trying to open a can. Maybe I did it wrong, but I’ve used SAK can openers (new and old style), p-38s, p-51s, pocketknives and even chefs knives to open cans without any trouble. But that Powerpint opener was defeated by a can of tuna. it seems not sharp enough and beveled the wrong way for its placement in the knife. When the can started bending in I stopped and gave it a bit better edge. But it puts the cutting edge a bit away from the rim, and that lets the lid stretch. If you flip it and try going the other way round then the handle gets in the way so you can’t pivot it properly.

    After it broke I used the main knife blade and got the can open in 1/10th the time I spent fiddling with the opener. But this ended the Powerpint’s use as my one blade while traveling. Now I prefer a SAK (better scissors too) and Knipex pliers.

      The bit holder is elastic webbing. It does not hold the bits securely enough to be carried loosely in a pocket but it works in a pocket organizer. I will try to 3D print something better when I upgrade my multi-tool and make a new pocket organizer.

      I like the SOG looks and approach but in use and the hand their are inferior to leatherman. If you get a multi-tool you go leatherman or Swiss army knife or Swiss multi.

        Agreed. The only thing the SOG wins on, for me, is the pliers. If I could put the SOG pliers mechanism on a Leatherman that would be pretty good package.
