    It’s a common thing I read on here. All the swiss pocket knives, Leatherman and flashlights. What are you people doing with those? I cannot remember the last time one of these items has been relevant to me.

      I’m almost curious what kind of life you live? You never find yourself in a situation where having a knife, screwdriver, pliers, or a flashlight on you wouldn’t be a huge convenience?

        I’m not who you replied to, but no. I don’t generally need any of those things when I’m out and about. I find myself occasionally needing stuff like that at home, but then I will have a nearby tool in a drawer at that point.

        I never use knives to open boxes though. I just use my keys.

        Well, sure I do have to fix something around the house or something like that, but then I got my trusty toolbox with all the stuff I need, so I have no need for multitools on my belt.

      I’m a network engineer, I always have a flashlight on me since I have to get into crawl ways to chase cables

      I personally have an Acebeam E70 Mini because it’s high CRI and non-PWM.

        For work that’s one thing, but from what I read here, there’s a whole bunch of people running around with multitools on their belts in their private time.
