Question: Loosely speaking, what percentage of features have you utilitzed on your EDC multitool?
(lemmy.world)
This one is a NexTool Silver Card Tool.
They advertise it as a 20 in 1 tool, so far I've actually found 10 of its features useful, meaning I've found use in literally half, 50% of its features.
Its actually pretty well made too ๐
All of them, though the knife blades, files, drivers, and main tool scissors or pliers depending on the individual tool) obviously get the real use.
My pocket carry is ~~a crkt mini jobber~~ an olight thingy with scissors, a can/bottle opener, a file with two sides, Phillips and straight drivers, knife blade, and a SIM tool (the original reason I picked this model) and the main tool is scissors.
My bag carry is a victorinox with the usual assortment and pliers as the main. It gets used less often, but I've had it long enough that even the awl has been used multiple times. Obviously, the pliers are the most used, with the drivers and file being next most.
I actually have a second, smaller tool in my pocket pouch that I've had for around twenty years. It's a no name thing I can't even remember where or when I got. It's just a handful of tools on a single hinge, folds down to smaller than a matchbox. It actually works really well at the size, but my hands are giant so it can be a pain in the ass when doing anything that takes a process rather than something like just tightening a loose screw. But I've used all of its tools multiple times over the years.

Turns out it isn't a crkt, it's from olight https://ca.olight.com/store/otacle-p1
