US key chain pocket tools
My pocket knife collection has been doing realy well thanks to the members on here
So much so i've put away the swiss army knives i've used for feels like forever
The only drawback has been the tools they carry
so with that in mind I'd like a few pocket tools that would take on that role
This is the sort of thing I'm after
but a small bottle opener wold be cool tool
only issue is they'd need shipping toEngland so if somone has the set it would be ideal

I had the same issue. The can opener came out of an old broken pocket knife. It’s a lot better than the p38 you posted.

I've carried the Sears 4-way and a P-38 for more years than I care to remember and don't ever recall using either one. That said, you can pick up both items on UK eBay. The P-38 can be had for £2.34 with free shipping. The Sears 4-way is on eBay but comes from the USA and the shipping is (to my mind) horrendous. £4.17 + £5.93 postage for something that could be sent in an envelope ---► https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_odkw ... r&_sacat=0

I have a few of the screwdriver type. The two on the right are gun company and are probably worth a few bucks. The McQuay-Norris on the left is a ball joint inspection tool. The metal is of a thickness to act as a space gauge to determine when ball joints are worn out.

I picked up this one at the flea market yesterday to add to my collection as shown above. It is a 60th Anniversary Gleaner Combine 1983 commemorative.

Re: US key chain pocket tools
I carried a P38 for quite a while.
Finally got tired of reaching into my pocket and that point jamming under a fingernail.
