Whatever may come, a loose screw, an overly tight clamp, a bottle cap that needs removal, would be better dealt with with the proper tool in hand. Unfortunately, it’s not practical to have a tool bag on yourself everywhere you go. However, it is fortunate that there are plenty of useful pocket-sized tools that we can carry for quick fixes and other daily uses. Let’s take a look at the latest pocket conveniences that can help us when we are in a bind.
