nut contact?
 
1. Put the hole in the opposite corner for a lanyard or key ring.
2. Add a slot with blade at the end for cutting stuff like Alex mentioned.
3. "Sharpen" one edge that can be used as a mini ice scraper.
4. Male thread gage.

NOW we're talking! Dammit! Why didn't I even consider the thread gauge?! I'm on it.
 
Nut contact is important, so is shaft length(for enhancing the moment)...

I'd rather have a handy little pouch with a small set of tools in it... but Toyota thought of that, so I guess I'm set. I DO NOT like the provided pouch though.
 
I don't like the pouch either but a good compact tool roll is something I've been looking for for years. Some rolls lose their wrenches and drivers as they slip out too easily

I don't want to go too far off topic but I've been asked enough about this that I've been working on something that's geared for the 80s although *could* play in the 60/40 arena.
 
ah, and include also a window breaker and belt cutter while you're at it!
 
I know a guy in the Phoenix area that may be interested in one of these new tools. Does it come in PINK??

I was waiting for Richard to suggest it. Oh I'll make it in pink. Something more permanent than stupid PlastiDip ;)
 
How about a tire valve stem depressor doohickey for airing down?

Suction cup attachment to help raise the windows in cold temps?

AHAHAHAHAHAHA! :flipoff2:

See, what's funny is I was spot welding a bracket onto the skinny panel to wire in the fuse panel to finish up the wiring. I AM capable of multi-tasking...sometimes. ;)

That being said...

Made a few adjustments. I've been looking for some vector images of the common Toyota bolts sizes. Hit a wall with that one.

So, is that a thread pitch gauge at the bottom, or a saw? I wouldn't want to carry a saw around in my pocket, and you'd never be able to put a bolt with a head up against that gauge.
