I wanted a pair of pliers, phillips blade, and small straight blade for my fanny pack. I wanted something relatively small. It seemed like a reasonable choice.

I might have used the tweezers on a splinter that was in my wife's toe now that I think of it.

But I do not think I have actually had a need for it while on the trail when I had the fanny pack on.

It is clearly a light duty tool, but that is what I wanted. If I wanted something heavier duty I would have put my Leatherman in the fanny pack. Instead, it is in the day pack.

One has to make compromises on what will fit in a fanny pack. I have a cheap rain poncho in it because that is what will fit. I would rather have something a little more robust, but there is limited room.
