Standard: a dollar or two in change, money clip, drivers license-VA ID-debit card-other cards-all bound with a rubber band (I hate carrying a wallet), mini-utility (Nice folding style), my flash drive, and cell phone. Often: Standard + hardware leftover from current job, a nut or bolt I just couldn't leave on the ground in the parking lot (got a bin those will be tossed in next time I'm in the shop) large utility knife (Nice folding style; they were a set), several small pieces of soapstone. Occasionally: Standard + Often + sharpie or other marking pen, screw driver, pliers of channelocks, folding money for the aforementioned clip....Why?
