In the front two exterior pockets, the sewing kit fits in on the left and the Knipex fits in the right.

It's basically a mini commonly used hardware and medication pouch. I use fishing line for sewing in situations where I need strong thread, and I have various size needles in there too. The Altoids Smalls tin has a few of my most commonly used medication for me and my family. The Rolaids are for my heartburn unfortunately.

10lbs of fishing line, all in that pocket? That's impressive ๐Ÿ˜‰

I'm pretty sure they mean 10lbs test fishing line.

I have some of that stuff in my bike's pannier, but I don't know why I'd want it on my person. Today it's just keys, phone, wallet, a surgical mask, and a hand towel (Tokyo be sweaty and humid)

I actually just got back from buying an incredible hand towel in Tokyo. Never thought I'd carry a handkerchief but you're not lying it is WET here

What are some usecases for the mini-Knipex?

[โ€“] tonystark29@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I use mine for bending sheet metal and holding objects while I saw them/work with them. I like to build things in my spare time, so I use them frequently for gripping, crunching, crimping, or wrenching sometimes.

That steel wire is lovely. I keep seeing people with pliers, thinking "why?" then ending up in a situation that could be fixed with pliers.... My scissors usually suffice though.
