hi guys
I never had a toolkit with me, but now I am buying my gear for first time and was considering it.
Do you bring with you an all-tool/screwdriver/etc kit while you are on the slope? is it cumbersome to have on your pocket and maybe dangerous when you fall? any suggestion which one to buy? |

| I don't really carry any tool with me when i'm riding on a mountain. I check my board in the morning before i go riding and that's enough for me. I haven't had any problems so far. |

check out the burton zip tool, ive got one from a few years back,its ideal,about the size of a car keyfob,and wont stab you if you fall on it. all the bits are stored inside the case.
theyre quite reasonably priced too.

Something like that does the trick, i have one similar a jimmey tool or something its called, yeah ul feel it with you fall, but its not as bad as having a screw driver in ur pocket to stab urself with.
I've got one of them. It usually lives in my pocket when i'm riding. But mine's better than that one cos mine was free and has got the SCUK logo on it! 
Snowboard pants are usually pretty baggy and have plenty of pockets, so you should be ok. I usually make sure that mine is in the knee pocket of my back foot, as that's the leg that hits things the least often! 
That Burton tool looks much tidier tho! Not bad for £6 either... |

| I have the Bullet tool, nice ratchet on it for easy tightening, all the bits live inside and smooth edges as mentioned. |

Bullet tool is the best I think.
Most other tools I've had the ratch action usually died. |

Just got back from Kitz and they have them all over the mountain too... I changed my screws in my bindings to an allen key fitting type and they even had allen keys too, so may as well not bothered eh! Lol. |
