Hi to you all from a cold and windy Switzerland.
I've been collecting multi-tools  over the years mainly because I seem to like anything that's compact, nicely designed and engineered and also useful.

I'm not much of an outdoors-man really, but I am fascinated by the sheer ingenuity that goes into the design and making of these small hand tools.

I hope to post some pics of my collection in the near future.

Cheers,

Welcome to Multitool.org!  What tool(s) do you like and carry?

There are some really well engineered ones that work great and some not so well engineered ones that also work great, depending on your needs.  The fun thing about multitools is there's at least one for everyone!
