Pukka job there mate, I can't see that you've missed anything :)

I'd say scissors for beard trimage, and for manicuring my delicate little nails :D

I voted for scissors and that's probably right, but I might have gone for the corkscrew (if you hadn't forgotten it  :pok:) as I always have a Victorinox eyeglass screwdriver on it, and my glasses are knackered  :D

I'm not into bushcrafting so much (all sounds a bit strenuous to me) but I am always out in the marshes and woods so the woodwork tools are useful. The awl on the Pioneer is very good as a firesteel striker.

An American friend who is also interested in reptiles calls me a 'pillowmint herper' the cheeky monkey. Just because a chap likes a scented candle & a bubble bath at the end of a long day...  :D

I will say Philips Screwdriver, closely followed by scissors though. Always great to have a good Philips screwdriver on your multi  :)

I voted pliers as i tend to need them the most, be it for adjusting bits on my bike, fixing things (especially cables) or destroying...i mean dismantling other things. Thats why i like my mpX00 tools nice and quick access to them.
Life is like a sandwich...the older it gets the crustier it becomes!

Sadly, I chose the bottle opener tool as the most common tool I use.   :drink:

Granted, I'm not trying to support alcoholism in any way but honestly the bottle opener is just as handy as any other tool in my multitool arsenal.  Cheers.

As this is quite a close run poll, I thought I'd just give it a bump so it can be seen again.

Definately the pliers.  Even if I have to remove a screw, pliers are my go to tool. :)

In order to be certain of having the right tool for every job.........one must first acquire a lot of tools

The Bottle Opener/Flat screwdriver on a SAK.


If the saying "When all you've got is a hammer, everything starts to look like nails" holds true, wielding a Multi puts a lot of innocent household items at risk.
