Agreed, the proper tools for the job is one of the things that marks a professional. Also saves a heck of a lot of time. EDC depends on your job - I'm in the field six-eight months out of the year (I'm sitting in a fly camp as I type) so I have my field gear with/on me more often than I do my keys or wallet.

When I'm not in the field, my EDC doesn't include a magnet but includes more germane items such as, lessee, maybe a flask.
