My wife has her kit minimalized to tie just a few pattern for flights and never has issues with scissors and such... But she brings her regular vise. I can't do that... Wheels-up and I am asleep...

My kit has a Griffin Superior 3ARP vise because it is a true rotary that weighs next to nothing. I carry the usual compliment of tools, all of which is easier to decide on and carry than the materials selection...
