The purpose of my kit is simply to hunker down and help me get found if I end up lost or injured without my backpack. It provides shelter, the ability to purify water, make fire and signal rescuers. The Squirt is a nice tool, but I feel it doesn't have bring enough value to the my PSK to add it. If I have some sort of gear that requires a pliers then I probably still have my LM Wave with me, too. Steel wire might be worthwhile, though.

The Ritter PSK is awesome and I've reccomended it to others. But I already had this stuff and my PSK has more sheltering ability than Doug's. On the downside, my kit isn't waterproof, but then most of the contents aren't harmed by water, either.
