    I do a lot of work with small screws and nuts and I decided I hated carrying around a large tool kit. So, I put this tool kit together. It is my go-to tool kit for many projects. I tried to make it as compact as possible and still meet my needs. Here is what I came up with. Let me know if you have any suggestions. This is my first post. Sorry for the length.

    Front and Back of my Maxpedition Pocket Organizer:

    Tool Dump:

    In no particular order:
    – Husky 1/4” Full-Polish 72-tooth Ratchet – (Model #H14FPRAT)
    – Task Force 18-piece Precision Ratchet Screw Driver Set (Model #62166)
    – 4″ precision-bit extension
    – 16 precision bits
    – 7-piece SAE Nut Driver Bit Set (3/16″, 1/4″, 9/32″, 11/32″ 5/16″, 3/8″, 7/16″)
    – 10-piece Metric Nut Driver Bit Set (4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 9mm, 10mm, 11mm, 12mm, 13mm)
    – “Exacto” Knife (knock-off brand) Handle.
    – Plastic tube with lid for 4 “Exacto” knife blades and a miniature level.
    – Metal Grip-Writing Pen.
    – 30 regular-sized bits and three holders (Philips, Standard, Torques, Square, Allen).
    – Custom-made magnetic bottomed precision bit holder. I couldn’t find a precision bit holder I liked so I made this one out of a piece of hardwood. Used my drill press to drill the 16 holes through the wood and taped a magnet to the bottom to hold the bits in place.
    – Coast G10 Max Beam Optic (Aluminum) Flashlight (Got mine battery included) – 1 AAA battery, 32 lumen with rear on/off switch
    – Small Pair of Needle-nosed Pliers.
    – 1/4″ bit holder socket
    – 1/4″ to 1/4″ Small Extension
    – 1/4″ to Bit adapter
    – Custom-made magnetic bit adapter that fits a precision screw driver. This allows me to use regular bits with the Task Force precision screw driver. This saves a lot of room in my case. I used my bench grinder to grind the end down to fit the small six-sided precision screw driver. I couldn’t find anything like this on the internet. Works great.
