My minimum EDC list: (as a professional stagehand, in no particular order)
Gerber Multi-Tool & sheath
6" Wide-Jaw Cooper Tools/Crescent wrench
Volt-Tick
LED MiniMag flashlight & sheath (or several)
roll of black E-tape
roll of white E-tape
Sharpie, Pen, Notepad

See this thread for what else is in my work box/bag.
Sure, why can't EDC be a verb??? It's colloquialism...

Me:

Leatherman Wave
LED MiniMag Flashlight
Pen, Dual-tip sharpie (Fine and Ultra-Fine,) Paper
9/16 Socket Wrench (my lights don't have c-clamps so a socket wrench works better)

Near me but not necessarily on my person: Gaff Tape of whatever color, is available (usually black or tan,) 6" cresent wrench, and E-Tape, whatever is available, usually black, sometimes green or red. Also, I usually carry an extra copy of my light plot in my pocket when doing set up.

Edit:
Upon futher revision of the term EDC, mine is:

Wallet
Keys
Cell Phone
Pens
Leatherman Wave

On School days add:
Backpack or Laptop Case or Both
