Starting from the top is my six inch machinist's scale w/ worn out case, one battle scarred Swiss army knife (same model as the two new ones still in packages), Streamlight compact LED pen light, US made Diamond brand 4" adjustable wrench, Coast brand high power miniature LED flash light, and last but not least is the freebee pen/touch screen stylus combo.
Leaving out the price of the spare knives, I could still throw in the price on sale for the 7" tablet computer that I took the photo with and composed and sent this post with and still have enough change out of the $150.00 to buy a case of beer.
Maybe we should start a survey........

like my scale being metric and 30cm,
my SAK having a cork screw instead of a phillips head,
my torch being a LED Lenser (but nearly exactly the same)

are of more use to me than a nut rounder
and a cheap but nice ink pen (fine tip for doodling
