Scenario one- you lose your multitool. You are screwed until you can replace it, so you need more than one.

Scenario two- you break your multitool.  Without multiples you are screwed until you get yours back from warranty repair.

Scenario three- your EDC tool doesn't have scissors and you need scissors....

Scenario four- every time you try to tighten a nut the screw its attached to slips so you need two. One to hold the screw while you turn the nut.

These are just off the top of my head. The bottom line is that you do indeed need multiples!

Looking forward to getting the surge.
The suspension was ok and affordable at the time (especially over here) but the surge looks like it will fit the bill nicely :)

Hoping so :)
The suspension and previously a Mr pinchy was in full time use in work and although just "adequate" sorely missed.

I gave Mr pinchy away to a guy in work who has since shelved it as some of the tools broke.
Should I get it back and send it in for repair/replacement ??
