I tried to get into carrying a multitool but it's too big for and I never found I needed much besides the knife. Besides, if you try hard enough, everything is the right tool for the job.

    It's mostly the pliers. I rarely use any of the other tools of a mult-tool.

    It has a screwdriver but they are so painful to use as a screwdriver - I'd rather walk 10 minutes and get a real one.

    I have this one. I like the fact that it has a carabineer built in so I can hook it anywhere.

    I felt the same way until I realized that multitools come in different sizes, and you don't need to get the biggest one with 80 tools that weighs 5 lbs. The smaller ones are barely bigger than a normal size pocket knife, and include a knife, pliers, wire cutters, pry tool, and a couple other of the most common things you might need. Much more handy than just a knife.
