Streamlight is good but pricey. I've got one of their rail-mount lights and it is great.
I found an excellent pocket LED flashlight on eBay called "Boruit" for under $20. That little bastard will blind you on max brightness. Also has other lights on it and a magnet to mount it on things
Under $10 and smaller than my house key. I don't think this is the stream light you're thinking of
A small bag of salt
Salt?
Is there a reason to carry both some kind of lighter and a bottle opener? A bic does bothβ¦
A Victorinox Manager. It contains a small blade, a bottle opener with a magnetic Phillips screwdriver, a pen, a nail file, scissors and tweezers, all in a very compact form factor.
I was gifted a tiny refillable keychain lighter. I didn't think I needed it at first but it's turned out invaluable to always have some fire handy. I don't smoke so I don't normally have a lighter with me otherwise.

I keep CarMex on my keychain
I have a Leatherman micra on my keychain. Carry it everywhere, and has come in handy in multiple occasions. Worth the price IMO.
In a similar fashion, I have a gerber dime on my keychain. Slightly different tool loadout from what I could spontaneously see.
Certainly similar. Major difference between the two is that the Gerber has pliers in place of my scissors, and your scissors are in place of my tweezers.
The pliers would be nice to have, but I definitely use the scissors quite a lot. Surprisingly super strong. I've never used the tweezers before.
