![]() I still remember one boss who would have me go out with him to look at a job. ![]() Not that I'm ragging on a person's decision of not carrying a multi-tool, but for someone who does not need to pull one out several times a day, where having the correct tool is a better option, they serve their purpose. Or a SAK with blade and a saw and a few other fold out options. ![]() And a crappy one is better than nothing.īut yeah, if I need a pair of pliers channel locks would be great to have. Thus the Phillips bit and blade bit and knife and pliers and file and a myriad of choices that you probably will never need, or go out not expecting to need, but all of a sudden you do need it. The purpose, IMHO, of a multi-tool is to carry one tool. I think the key term used in the OP is "coupled with". So what do you think? Anybody else have tiny tools they edc? Or are you more of a multitool person? Heck, I even bought a couple extra pair of the cobras to use in the kitchen for nut cracking and crab legs, talk about easily adaptable! Not to rag on those that prefer a multitool, but I found this pairing, coupled with a SAK farmer and fixed blade offers more options and flexibility in my day to day life. This pair get used multiple times daily both at work, and around my budding homestead. Plus they don't take up as much space and they are way lighter to carry. These tools to everything I need them to do, and I have found them to actually be more versatile than a multitool. Now to the reason I don't carry a multitool. I wanted to love the pliers wrench, but it is just too small, the next size up would be optimal, but too big to put in a back pocket daily, so I gave them to the wife to use around the freeze dryer. Pictured there are the slipjoints that started it all, my knipex cobra pliers, my channellock micro dykes (both my edc now), and the knipex micro pliers wrench. But the knipex, boy the knipex are just amazing tools. The Cresent and channelock were the cheapest and I didn't take a shine to them at all so they were given away on the forum in mystery boxes. Crescent, channelock, knipex, and another that I forget. So then I scoured the internet and found about 4 different manufacturers tiny slip joint offering. I had to have these pliers! I carried them for a bit, but found them wanting in opening capacity. I bought the whole kit just for the pliers at an antique shop for $35. Then a couple of years ago I found something that changed my EDC forever.Ī tiny pair of vintage ignition pliers out of a motorcycle tool kit. So it languished on a pack for years (still is tbh) Years ago I wanted a Leatherman surge, my best friend had one and I thought it was the coolest thing in the world (they are pretty darn cool) the only issue is, I never really used it, it is heavy, bulky, jack of all trades master of none, etc.
