Essential SAK tools

[outmyhead]

if you were to pick 4 tools (other than the blade) to have on your ideal SAK what would they be?

 

[Jim (Oh)]

1) phillips screwdriver
2) flat screwdriver/bottle opener
3) scissors
4) can opener

 

[Sonny Burnett]

Besides the main blade I would want:

1.) the small blade (very handy for delicate cutting tasks)
2.) the bottle opener (not for bottles but to use as a screwdriver)
3.) the can opener/combo tool (I use it often for the phillips screws on the back of computers)
4.) awl

It won't surprise you to hear that I usually carry a Spartan or Soldier for EDC . The scissors are a nice feature too so the Climber also belongs to my favourite SAKs.

if you were to pick 4 tools (other than the blade) to have on your ideal SAK what would they be?

Combination (combo) Tool - which combines flat screwdriver, can-opener, bottle cap-lifter and wire stripper in a single half length tool.

Corkscrew

Phillips screwdriver - the in-body type which allows use in-line and at 89degs for more torque.

Magnifying glass - good for generally examining things - used to laugh at this until age caught up.

Essentially my EDC Victorinox Scientist -

I've EDC this model for over 17 years.
