These are basically, and I quote, "credit-card-sized urban survival tools made from 316 stainless steel." Don't know how practical they would be in actual use, but they sound and look cool enough.
I like the "Clearway" Ice Scraper, "Emergency SOS" Medical ID Tag, and Fire Starter Match Box the most.
I contacted Touch of Ginger to ask if there was a US supplier. At first I was told YES, just yes. I asked again, stating I'd like to buy some products and post the supplier information for other ETS forum members. This time I was told the US supplier would contact me. I'll post any info I get for anyone interested. I kinda like the wrench idea, too. The ice scraper has possibilities.

Chris, as usual, you are right : what's the use of a wrench, when you can pay a mechanic to do the job ?!?! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

The one I see as useful is the pocket mirror. I took the REI Featherweight mirror , covered it with a PDA screen protector, and cut it down to fit in my wallet. I also carry 2 band-aids and 3 cut down pieces of Rite-in-the-Rain paper. I?ve passed out a band-aid, a number of times.
