My Go-To Compact Tools: What Works for Me

Hi there! I received multiple requests from people to talk about the full tookit I discussed in my "I decluttered 80% of my toolkit" tookit. And this is it. While this is a LOT, it's actually much less than what I used to keep. I removed a ton of things that are no longer here. Because I just never used them. These tools here are the most important and essential tools (for me).
