Multitools: 5 Fast Facts

Fact #1. There are few tools that prove genuinely useful across multiple fields. But there are certainly exceptions. One that comes to mind is the vaunted Swiss Army Knife, a pint-sized jack of all trades as useful to the hiker or hunter as it can be to the electrician or roofer. Even more versatile than those classic instruments, though, is the multitool.
Fact #2. A multitool can often serve as pliers, a screwdriver, a blade, a ruler, and so much more. If you're looking for one to help you in daily life, first consider what your average day looks like. As an example, a person who works in construction might value a strong set of pliers, both a flathead and phillips screwdriver, and a rugged saw.
Fact #3. You may be more likely to spend your day fishing than building a house. In that case, you'll have little need for a screwdriver but still value a pair of pliers. These can be helpful for removing a hook from a fish's mouth or for safely baiting a hook without getting poked. And of course the blade is useful for dealing with fish guts.
Fact #4. For the individual simply looking to be prepared for the little issues that pop up, almost any multitool will suffice. The main concern when it comes to selecting one without a specific activity in mind should be price. While a perfectly decent option can be had for around thirty dollars, top of the line units cost more than a hundred dollars.
Fact #5. When choosing a multitool to bring along for an outdoor adventure, it's important to keep in mind how valuable some tools can be. A good pair of scissors is great for preparing a wound dressing in a first aid situation. An adjustable wrench might be useless. A saw is always a good idea, as it can help you build a fire or shelter.
