With the addition of the scissors and without whatever that little shiv was, this is the perfect keychain multi-tool. But on a tool of this size with small levers (handles), simple physics work against these pliers being able to tackle any sizable task. A Mini Multi-Tool is small enough to carry in your pocket or on a key chain, yet packs a punch with essential tools that can come in handy in more situations than I could list. Both Squirt PS4 and ES4 were released with blue, red and black anodised aluminum scales and are still being manufactured today. I've actually used the bigger flat end of the bottle opener for larger flat head screws and to do light duty prying, such as opening paint cans etc.

If choosing an alcohol brew kit for day walks, Three Points of the Compass is usually carrying a Toaks burner. Being lefthanded I’m not super fond of righthanded chisel grinds so I used a dremel and hacked the edge into a symetrical grind.Incredibly well formed it is a proper 3D shaped screwdriver tip that folds away in to the tool well.

Spring-action scissors and a variety of other features make the Squirt ES4 both versatile and functional.Compact enough to keep with your emergency supplies at home or in the car, this kit gives you access to life-saving items that can be the difference between life and death in accidents. This highly collectible Limited Edition Damascus Wave® features 15 compact tools, including a premium Damascus steel knife blade. It has accompanied Three Points of the Compass on well over 3000 trail miles but is frequently exchanged with a different knife or multi-tool, especially on shorter hikes or day hikes, where I see no need for the greater capability of the S4. It sounds very short but is up to just about any camp kitchen task I have put it to mostly because the blade is positioned in such a manner that I can cut foodstuffs flat to a surface. Some of the technologies we use are necessary for critical functions like security and site integrity, account authentication, security and privacy preferences, internal site usage and maintenance data, and to make the site work correctly for browsing and transactions.

The best materials — like 154 CM knife steel and titanium handles — plus added strength and versatility make the Charge XTi the new standard for excellence in multi-tools. I've used mine to clean battery terminals of corrosion (see discoloration in second photo, above) or to remove burrs from metal. Something else I'd like to point out is that Leatherman has been plagued by shortages leading to prolonged gaps in its product lines over the last few years.

Like the fish for which it's named, the Piranha pocket tool will help you get the job done quickly: tightening screws, loosening bolts, prying things open and popping the top on your favorite beverage.
