What do you use least on a MT?
on: June 15, 2008, 04:25:32 PM
So, what do you use least on a MT?

For me, I have never used the ruler. It is good to have, but I never have a need for it.. Another thing I rarely use is the file.. Every once in awhile I find a use for one but it's not important to me.. I've 'gotta say, I love the LM diamond file! :-[

How about you guys?

I don't use the can or bottle opener unless it has an integral screwdriver.

I use the ruler most days (usually when I am looking into the size of another MT or knife  :D).

For me, it is the saw.

Scissors and the chisel are probably the least used for me.

Scissors, if I need to cut something I just use the knife(s). I have used the scissors as an awl, to put holes in my belt, though.

Phillips. Everything else I found a use for, but the cross-head is just so darn specialized you need a special screw for it to work. Well, I don't screw around.

I have tried to use the ruler on several occasions, and always been frustrated enough to force me to track down my calipers.


I want to use the multi-purpose hook on my Climber, I really, I just have it at the same time as a reasonable excuse to use it.

On PST least used is probably Medium-Size Slothead.

I rarely use a Vic Can Opener any more.

I'll have to pick up a Core or Swisstool or something with a Tool Abundance to really see what tools I don't use or need.

Are you guys kidding me? I use all of those on occasion.

The item that I find most worthless is the corkscrew. (on multitools and SAKs so equipped) It never gets used, yet takes up valuable real estate.
In order to be certain of having the right tool for every job.........one must first acquire a lot of tools

I use my file often enough, and I LOVE the saw blade on my Blast. I used the medium flat head on my Blast so much I broke it  and it's currently off for repair.

I sure find it interesting how each of us use our tools.

The knife. I usually have a SAK in my pocket and use that if a blade is called for. :climber:

You must be able to get tacticool bottle openers.  :D

I'm just curious why someone would carry something like a charge when they only use a bottle opener?

Your right, you'd be better off with a reflective Swisstool/Spirit so you can catch sun rays by putting it under your chin :D
