I carry all my lights sans clip (except the sapphire, it's on a ballchain). So it doesn't bother the pants, and in-hand is super grippy. Works out

Think it’s called the Victorinox mini tool philips screwdriver. Or maybe just mini screwdriver.
You can also get a straight screwdriver, a T4 torx, and SIM card removal tool. It was only £2.99 so I added it to the order. It seems to fit the screws on my Photon Microlight ii but not tried it out yet.

Here you go. Like I said, my phone is far from the best when it comes to photos.
Left to right:
RCR123, 18650, Logan w/pressure switch (Peak sent me a brass one by mistake), AA Eneloop, AAA Eneloop, standard international short refill for fountain pens.

Thanks, Monocrom!
So, in the hand it must feel like a slightly larger, slightly heavier 18650. Ignoring the back switch, I'd eyeball it at about a 20750? (I.e. 20mm diameter, 75mm length).
You're very welcome. All six items are lined-up straight. Take away the pressure switch, and the light is ever so slightly taller than an 18650. But not slightly heavier. Considerably heavier with a typical CR123 cell inside. Honestly, you chuck the light at someone's head as hard as you can; you'll do some serious damage!
It's a Zaan and Zebra kind of day.

Not a knife guy. Not much of a flashlight guy, either. Just a little old retired dude living a quiet suburban life. If I don't have this in my pockets, I'm not dressed yet.
RovyvonA3 (2022 edition, with micro not C USB charging).
Leatherman Squirt - it used to be blue 13 years ago. Massively useful inexpensive keychain tool so naturally they don't make it any more. Oh well, many fascinating replacements are available if I lose it.
Leatherman Crater - first knife I've owned that both locks and has one-hand operation. Love the practicality of it clipped into a pocket and ready at a moment's notice for tactical duties such as opening mail, sharpening pencils, or opening Amazon boxes. Souvenir of a long-ago visit to Menard's but only carrying it every day the last 10 years or so. Also not made any more.
Pen is a stupid little NiteIze I got at a museum gift shop years ago - useful, and just clumsy enough to deploy that I don't fiddle with it or doodle.
All held together with NiteIze key-keeper S-biners and bits of string- an extra S-biner is useful for times I need to clip somethign to something. Not shown: in my wallet is the Victorinox SAK tweezers that would be so *awesome* if they had been part of the Squirt. Yeah, I have a Style PS that has the tweezers and the Crater is a better knife anyway but the Squirt has better screwdrivers and a real file.

Demko AD20.5 Carbon Fiber 20CV blade, BYOP Meridian Titanium GMT Automatic, KL4 with Vital Gear body.
This is my go to daily carry and that KL4 has been with me for at least 25 years. I have a Lumens Factory E1E 18350 body coming for it soon. The watch is a microbrand and was about $260. It is lightweight and rugged with the simple tool look I like. I am a Demko Fanboy and have several. You can not find a better lock in my opinion and every one I have is rock solid. Very good heat treat, several steel choices for low, mid, and higher price options. The lower cost ones have the same fit and finish as their top tier versions. Just a solid knife from a great maker.

Titanium and GMT at that price is why I've been looking at those. Just haven't pulled the trigger.

Benchmade 940 Automatic Burnt Copper scales in Magnacut / Glycine Airpilot Chrono / Lumintop FW3A Triple
The Benchmade was a gift from my wife and it is a rock solid Auto for daily carry. The Glycine was an impulse buy just because I liked the look and Ashford had it on sale. The Lumintop FW3A is an absolute perfect size for an EDC.
