(Image removed from quote.)Oh, so multi-tools are a compromise, are they? They don't excel at anything, you say? Alright then, time to put your mouth where your money is. This January, multi-functionality is a no-go. Time to carry the right tool for the job. Rules:1. Carry tools with single functions only. No multi-tools, no multi-layer Swiss Army Knives, no combo one-piece tools, no wallet ninjas.2. Post a photo of a single function tool for each day of January.3. Some tools have one feature but many functions. This is fine. A dedicated flathead may be used as a screwdriver, pry bar, wedge, scraper, etc; but it is only one feature: a flathead screwdriver, so it is ok to carry.4. Some tools are combination tools by design, like pliers, hammers, axes, etc. This is acceptable. 5. Tools that have a slot for multiple accessories are acceptable, like mini bit ratchets, scalpel holders, etc.6. No need to commit to a set of tools from Day 1, but it would be nice to see your core edc that will be replacing your normal multi-functional tools. 7. Other stuff.(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)The badges will be the Knipex tiny pliers. Let's do this.1. ReamerPunch2.
I think you should post this in MonoTool.org.
though I don't know if there will be enough interest here this type of challenge.
…Most importantly, I want that Knipex badge …
that’s one very cool badge
I'm interested, but I'm trying to think how I could realistically do this one. I have some small tools too, but I don't have room in my pockets to carry a knife, a screwdriver, and a pair of pliers.
that’s one very cool badge Sounds like an interesting challenge RP 1. ReamerPunch2. Adam53. Echotech
I don't know if you can stick it out with a real hammer, not the superior hammerhead
That's my idea as well. Not minimalist necessarily, but the core edc tools can go in a pouch.

I picked up a small screwdriver today specifically for this challenge - a Klein Tools 4-in-1 Electronics Pocket Screwdriver. This, along with my smallest pliers and an undecided pocket knife, will complete my "deconstructed multitool". I'm in.1. ReamerPunch2. Adam53. Echotech4. Fireman5. Fuzzy (thinking about it)6.

I look forward to seeing the pouches you guys carry your load-outs in
NiteIze tie is all that's needed. (Image removed from quote.)My favorite real bottle opener. (Image removed from quote.)And for Echotech. The pocket meat tenderizer.(Image removed from quote.)
You're not going to carry a knife?!
