Reddit mentions of Wiha 75093 16 Piece System 4 ESD Slotted, Phillips and Torx Micro Bit Set

Another vote for Wiha. I have this set which includes torx and some other often needed bits.

I daily carry a GORUCK GR1. I chose this pack because of how ridiculously overbuilt it is. Prior to getting the GR1, I carried less and I generally still couldn't go more than 6 months at best without ripping or destroying my packs. I also like that it doesn't have much built in organization. I prefer to create my own organizational system rather than use the one mandated by the pack. This is the primary reason I chose this over similar high quality options such as the Tom Bihn Synapse 25.

Also, I know there is a serious lack of cool hacking tools. Unfortunately I am currently in a more defensive than offensive cybersecurity position, so I don't really carry a lot of stuff around with me like I used to when I was red team.

On the front you can see that I have a Grimloc biner in case I need to attach anything to my pack. I also have a Gonex water bottle pouch and a large water bottle. On the back of the pack I have a pouch with my EDC Zebralight on the shoulder strap for easy access while wearing the ruck.

• GORUCK GR1 26L
  
• Gonex MOLLE Water Bottle Pouch
  
• 48oz Nalgene
  
• Grimloc Locking D-ring
  
• Tactical Tailor Multitool Pouch
  
• Zebralight SC600 Fd Mk; III Plus
  
  Opening the pack up, I have my tool pouch attached to the internal MOLLE webbing at the top as well as work gloves, a waterproof pack cover, rain coat, and umbrella. Additionally, I have a packing cube full of clothes. The packing cube isn't a usual part of my EDC, but I had the bag packed for an overnight trip so I thought I'd leave it in the picture to show what a few days worth of clothes looked like packed in the bag.
  
  
• Zulu Nylon Gear Mega Admin Pouch
  
• Sea to Summit Ultrasil Pack Cover
  
• EEZ-Y Compact Travel Umbrella
  
• Stearns Dry Wear Raincoat
  
• AmazonBasics Packing Cube
  
• Mechanix FastFit Gloves
  
  Under the flap on my admin pouch and inside the admin pouch you can see my primary toolkit. It's designed to have just about anything I would need for basic repairs throughout a day. I'm not handyman or anything, but I like to be able to solve just about any basic problem with just what is in the pouch. If I'm away from home or my car where I have more in-depth toolboxes, I can still solve most issues I run into.

If you want long lasting screwdrivers, I'd highly recommend anything from Wiha.

I just picked up this little guy for my bag.
http://amzn.com/B002PJ3IYE

Victorinox Cybertool is always an option, albeit without the pliers. It's aimed at IT sort of work. You might also consider a mini bit set like this one I have that and it's really nice. Wide selection of drivers and great quality, especially for the size. Though also minus the pliers.

https://www.amazon.com/Wiha-75093-System-Slotted-Phillips/dp/B002PJ3IYE

I've got something similar, but it's a Wiha: http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/B002PJ3IYE?tag=adapas02-20

Very easy to carry it around.

Your bag may or may not be EDC by definition but here is a quick pack outline.

Bag: Vertx EDC Gamut
This is a CCW oriented bag, search LoadedPocketz and Youtube for reviews and the bag in action. There's a ton of organization in it for carrying lots of stuff, plus it's loaded with Velcro so you can either use Velcro add-on's or use their Tactigami to convert anything Molle to attach to their velcro.
Organizers - The Gamut is great but you might want to throw in something like a Maxpedition EDC/Beefy/Fatty to organize tools and supplies as needed, plus you can take them out of the bag if you want to be more mobile. E.G. leave bag in car but take IT toolkit with you to a site.

Tools:

• Wiha ESD safe bit screwdriver
  
• Leatherman - any one with the bit driver piece, (Charge/Skeletool etc) be sure to get the bit driver extension and bit sets. I use a Charge TTI with Nylon Sheath as that's the only one that fits everything together.
  
• Klein Full Size Multi-Bit For when you need a full size screwdriver, you can use your own bits for customization.
  
• Fenix PD22
  Small light with multiple settings you so can use low settings for close up work with minimal reflection, or full brightness for other uses. Lots of lights will work for this purpose, headlamps work even better for hands-free but you'll look like a dork.
  
• USB Battery - Anything Anker branded that fits your power requirements, I use their 16,000mah battery as it fits in my Gamut perfectly.
  
• Zip-ties
  
• Tape measure - whatever size works for your needs
  
• Electrical tape and/or small rolls of duct tape
  
• Pen - Fisher Space Pen
  
• Small notebook - Field Notes or similar
  
• Portable USB Cables- Kero and Griffin make small USB cables for charge and sync like this
  
• Cleaning wipe, wet naps microfiber towel - nothing worse than touching a gross computer, give it a wipe down first, then clean and dry your hands anywhere with wet naps and the microfiber.
  
• Screen cleaner wipes
  
• Small med pack - make your own but a few bandaids and Neosporin will fix any small cut you'll get from opening a computer or server. Tylenol, allergy meds, tums, anything like that.
  
  Then you have the EDC items you'll hear most people say:
  
• Water bottle
  
• Bandana
  
• Pocket tools - e.g folding knife/keychain light/keysmart/Leatherman Micra/Juice
  
• Bigger med kits
  
  

For anyone techy, it is important to have a good set of precision tools. they may not need them all that often, but when you need to fix something, it sucks to not be able to get into it.

This is a very nice, compact, set of precision drive bits that come mounted on a driver. The torx and small phillips bits will get you into most electronic devices. Having a nice set of hex keys is also important for general uses, but torx is more common in electronics. This set is not EDC friendly on your person, but as a student, he probably has a pack they can go in.

What is his opposition to knives? Does he feel he has too many already, he just doesn't think he's interested, or is he not allowed to carry them on his person in most situations? If It's anything other than the last situation, I'd still consider the Victorinox Alox Cadet Swiss Army knife. I didn't think I'd use mine much, but I got it out of Swiss Army nostalgia and swooning over the gorgeous blue that is available now. I keep it in my jacket's breast pocket and use it on an almost daily basis, but have still yet to use the blade on it (I also carry a dedicated knife). I'm really in love with this little tool. It's beautiful. The bottle opener is great. The can opener is great. The nail tool is fantastic (my nails have never been in as good of shape as they have been the past month). And it also has a very decent blade on it.

I second Wiha! I have many other cheap sets, got this set for my bday: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002PJ3IYE/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?qid=1368322598&sr=8-4&pi=SL75

It is the Best set I have ever used! Quality steel that I can't strip, perfect size bits for a perfect fit.

Get a Wiha Torx Set and never worry again.

Wiha Tools makes the best micro screwdriver bits around, and some of their products are available on Amazon. If I were in your shoes I'd buy this

My personal solution is to keep a Leatherman Wave with a Leatherman pocket clip in my EDC backpack along with a Leatherman Bit Kit that I've modified with a Nite Ize pocket clip and some gorilla tape. Anytime I need to do some screw driving I just clip the wave and bits onto my pocket and they're incredibly accessible.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002PJ3IYE/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1408634558&sr=1-3
This is it. It's an awesome screwdriver. The bits aren't magnetic which I thought would be bad but they are so good they don't need to be.

It's not the cheapest, but this Wiha set is what I use. A good torx set will go a very long way.

And Nano Oil.

if you want to stick with wiha and get a bit of other bits

cheapest wiha set



[this is what I used a for along time, the other bits come in handy for random jobs but it's a cheap metal that will warp sometimes. I mainly use the micro bit holder for my wiha bits now]
(https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GYM7W6L/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_UcmTCbSMSF3KB)


the cheapest micro bit holder, they other bits probably suck but the holders are usually fine, I mean, how can you really screw that up

I highly recommend the Wiha 77790 Ultra Driver Multi Tool. Be sure to read the comparison chart to understand the different bit combinations available. I use the Tradesman model.

If you need something a little smaller consider the Wiha 75093 16 Piece System 4 ESD Slotted, Phillips and Torx Micro Bit Set either on its own or in addition.

If you’re looking for a good set of precision drivers I recently acquired the Xiaomi Wiha Precision Screwdriver Set, 24 Magnetic Driver Bit Set, Pocket Screwdriver Tool Set, Mini Screwdriver Kit, Repair Tool Kit for Electronics and am very pleased with them. If you’re willing to wait and run the risk of receiving a counterfeit product, you can also find this set (as I did) on Ali Express for a few less dollars.

FWIW I carried pocket knives on the NYC Subways for over 20 years without once attracting attention.

I have a Wiha Micro Bit Ratchet Set on my "Expensive Shit" Wishlist. It would make my life easier when I'm working on whatever laptop/desktop/gadget/etc. I have in front of me. I've been wanting something like this for a while, but haven't had a chance to buy it yet.

I already have this tool, but the ratchet set has way more going on! PLUS, getting the ratchet set would allow me to give this to someone I know who needs one.

Win-Win!

Thanks for the contest!
