tool on a sak you can't live without?
on: February 01, 2010, 08:00:12 AM
For me it's the pliers.I don't carry a pliers based multi so,I rely on the pliers on my sak.
I have only needed a larger plier once while at work in the past year or so.The sak pliers
are small but,strong.Mine sure get a good work out.

flathead screw driver, and the main blade, but have TBH as i mainly use a MT for the pliers ive narrowed my SAk down to a commander as has all i need combined with my esquire as like the scissors and carry that in my pocket at work as good for cutting bandages, so i guess scissors as well ,  ::)  :D

Scissors for me. If I'm carrying a SAK without scissors, I make sure I have my Micra with me.

If we assume a blade is a given :)  Then some form of flat head so either a combi tool or bottle opener.
I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.

The kay ring...  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Seriously, the can opener. Believe it or not, it's probably the thing I find most useful- for light prying (mostly because the can opener fin can wedge into gaps for prying), and I turn lots of screws with it. The majority of the time I use it for phillips screws unless the screws are recessed into a hold where I have to use the T phillips.

Saw.  I can bodge my way through without a scissors, but when I need a saw, I gotta have a saw.

Another vote for scissors here. Saturday night at a party and the following day at downtown Disney it was the only implement needed aside from the tweezers...
Which explains why I perfer cellidor handles over alox *runs and hides*

I've never used a scissors on any of my tools.  What do you guys use them for?

I guess I'd have to say the flat head screwdriver.  It's the one I use the most on a SAK.

Definitely scissors, for a number of reasons. Here are some of them:

I cut my nails, open packets, mess about with paracord, fiddle with EDC organisation and have a serious fetish for removing lose hanging threads :D

Personally I am partial to the Soldier Awl just like so many here but will do with the regular version. I also prefer the Wenger Awl to the Vic model.

Hmm. Just to be different, I'll say....the ink pen! (either on plus scales or on midnight manager)

I've signed my name for receipts, filled out checks, wrote down notes, poked things, and all other sorts of writey like stuff.
