Whenever I walk around I carry a five inch pruning shear tool 5 inches
long only has a 1.5 inch cutting edge. Also carry a 6 inch Japanese
carpenter knife. Those are real light and my next choice a Japanese
Knife Trowel but it weights too much and remains not assessable.

So A long winded question is do you have a light tool that can do spur
of the moment work ?

I carry an Asian tool that is about 12 inches long and has a curved blade
with a serrated edge that looks like a minature brush cutter. It can rip
off small branches or dig out weeds or just cut off veg that I want to
harvest or a heap of other things. Best tool I ever bought in terms of
usefulness.

Whenever I walk about my property I carry a contractor's bucket containing
an array of small tools; a hand cultivator and trowel, small Fiskar's
loppers (they're wonderful), a small anvil pruner, a small bow saw, a
hammer, roofing nails, posted signs, and a chisel (to knock off tops of
boulders that pop into my mowed areas), a water bottle, and some other items
including a machete on my belt... distances are great and the bucket is also
handy for bringing things back, the wind can blow trash long distances, and
I have a neighbor who likes to drive golf balls into my woods, I often
return with more than 50 brand new premium balls and I don't return them.

Everyone needs these: http://tinyurl.com/cvpprn
