Your most used individual tool

[mulou]

1. pliers (85% of the time)
2. scissors (10%)
3. various screw drivers and the file (4.9%)
4. the rest (.1% for fun in general.)

Ive a separate knife.

[Dem]

Scissors, pliers, then probably the Phillips and blade (though not the blade on the multi-tool.)

I don't buy multi-tools without scissors, though I'm darned tempted to try sticking some into a ST300 .

Most screws I encounter are Philips (or Pozidrives).
Straight screws are rare, I have them on my glasses though.
Hex on telescopes, my car's gearbox and IKEA furniture.
Torx on Leathermans and on elevator's control panels.
Robertson on my balcony's aluminium cases. Only there.
The cross screws are almost the double of all the others together and then some.
So, yes, Philips is king. But the Victorinox can opener or metal file tip can do most of Philips screws. Add the corkscrew driver and then make it almost all Philips screws. A Swisschamp could do without a Philips driver, as is the case with my mountaineer.

For me, scissors, by far.  After that the blade.  Then the drivers.  After that, anyone's guess.

[Lynn LeFey]

Same.

Scissors first, then blade, then a fair mix, but usually flat driver.

Although... my friend is into microbrew, and the cap lifters on my MTs have been getting a good workout.

Coming back to this, it's really difficult.
Today has been a pretty standard* day at work and I have used every tool on my Wave except the little glasses screwdriver. Primarily pliers and knife but the others were all significant too.

*my job never has a standard day, today I've been building an electrical control, a bit of office work, helping with a 20,000 hour engine service and I've fixed the spark plug on a strimmer among other things.

blade>bottle opener>pliers; on normal day(have not much nowadays  )
pliers>saw (or serrated blade)>blade; on medical rescue missions

[Singh]

Scissors.

On another note I haven't seen anyone using the crimper - the most dreaded tool in my opinion (though haven't used SOG tools)

[Cupboard]

Cap crimper I'd agree with, but the electrical crimper on the bottom of some Leatherman pivots has got me out of a muddle.

[styx]

That's good to hear. Haven't given much thought to bottom pivot crimper design, although that's why I said that I haven't used SOG, but I did see a good deal of broken tools on the top plier head crimper area

[AimlessWanderer]

.... there isn't one 

It all depends where I'm going and/or what I'm doing. At work it's probably knife and pliers, but the knife will be a separate pocket knife generally. Drivers are only occasional and scissors would be more frequently used.

In the garden I often have an old Ranger 14 for the knife, big shears and saw.

If visiting certain friends or family members I need to be fully loaded as there'll usually something I get collared to fix, and it could be anything

At the boat I had a Core, the DEsTroyer mod, Swissgrip and a couple of other heavy duty bits as it was a different challenge every day.

For me I select multitool/s on the likelihood of implements being used, but sometimes I get it very wrong in my selection. My experience backs up the concept of multitools in as much as I have no idea what I'll need from one day to the next, so I like to have something on me that'll help even if it's not absolutely ideal. If I KNEW what tools I'd need in advance - I'd have dedicated ones

[Agonistes]

knife or pliers is a toss-up, followed closely by bit driver.
