I always wonder about the multi tool people. That seems super popular, but I never see a need for it. What do you use it for? Multiple things? ๐ฅ
Personal hygiene is one big reason for me, though obviously there are smaller options than a full multitool like a small Swiss army knife. I just need a small pair of scissors on me 24/7, that's not negotiable.
Having a basic screwdriver always with me also helps from time to time. Sometimes as a screwdriver, sometimes as a small crowbar.
Ironically, the first thing I would ditch from my multitools and Swiss army knives would be the blade. Scissors do most things I need just as well or better, and the blade is just a liability in lots of jurisdictions.
I rarely actually use them, but I was a Boy Scout so I like to be prepared, just in case. The screwdrivers on both and wrenches on the wallet one come in handy more often than anything, but I also have scissors and a knife on the keychain one.
