Pro. (probably literally...)

I think I need to do a good reorg on my tool pouch and empty out the excess that likely isn't needed in my under-seat tool box.

gspd has the tool roll (and many of the tools) from the supplementary tool kit.
The roll itself is much larger than the stock.

Two different sized diagonal cutters? Why?

For extracting oneself and motorcycle from a wire fence? :idea:

Ya, right, ME109. Extracting, that's the ticket.

Have you ever done a burnout (while hung over) on the remnants of an old mattress that was harmlessly smouldering on the previous night's campfire, but suddenly all the posturepedic springs and guts wrapped around and jammed your back wheel just as your tire caught fire?
I've carried side-cutters ever since.

That is painfully specific.

And like...this action of "making sure to carry side-cutters ever since" implies that you do not intend to prevent a repeat occasion in the future.

Some things are not 100% preventable, anyways, the same thing could happen to somebody else, so I'd be ready to help.
BTW - That's also when I realized that metal fenders are better than plastic in certain situations.
