Obviously, if you're on BladeForums you always have some type of blade on you. And if you're on this sub-forum you probably carry at least one SAK and/or multitool most of the time. The question is naturally dependent upon your lifestyle, but what individual "tool" on your SAK or Multitool do you find yourself using most often? Is it the blade itself, or some other item?

I'd have to say for myself that it's probably a tie between the blade for general usage, and the awl for fingernail cleaning - alox SAK. Maybe yours is the toothpick, or the scissors, or the pliers or screwdriver. What say you? ;)
 
My EDC is a Stay Glow Climber. I use the scissors the most, 2nd most would be the main blade. The can opener is fun to use, but I don't use it everyday for that...maybe once a week on average.
 
Schrade Tough Tool--I use the non-locking sheep's foot blade daily to open boxes. Next would be the main blade, then the Phillips screwdriver for computer work, then the pliers.
 
On my multi tool - the flat blade screwdriver - I am always prying open paint cans or cans of stain.

On my SAK - it's a close race between my scissors and flat blade screwdriver.
I use the flat blade screwdriver to pull staples from documents before putting them in the copier.
 
I eat with my Vic soldier's main blade, and I use the awl to open boxes. I do this to save the edge on the main blade from getting clogged by tape adhesives. Probably equal use between the two.

My most used tool would be the blade (loaner/beater blade), the scissors, and pliers. Those three are what I use most.
 
On SAK's and multi's 1) can opener , 2) caplifter . The can opener gets used at least once a day when I feed my cats .

On multi's I would say the 1) Caplifter , 2) chisel/scraper ( I EDC a Spirit , mmyonly plierbased multi's are Vics.

Large blade and flat screwdriver. As of late I have been using the scissors far more often. ;):thumbup:
Oh, that's on my Champion Plus. :D

On my Classic SD, it would have to be the tweezers. I often forget to trim my nose hairs when I'm getting ready for work (hey, I haven't had my coffee yet!), so right when I walk into my office I'll hit the bathroom and pull out those excess nose hairs.

I end up using my pliers the most on my leatherman wave.

Whilst that is a lot of information to burden us with I'll help you out, just do away with the Classic and just use wave pliers for excess nose hair duty.....:D

One less MT to carry, great idea huh, you can thank me later ;).
 
Hands down, the phillips head screw driver on my Leatherman Ti Charge. I was sittin on my keester wiring up a transformer, and thought I may have to get up, then I thought,....nope, got it right here. The next would be the pliers, but not even close to the screw drivers.
 
I EDC a SAK Farmer and a Mini-Champ. I use the scissors on the Mini-Champ and the screwdriver on the Farmer the most. I occassionally carry a CRKT Guppie and a CRKT Get-A-Way Driver as well when I forsee the need for screwdrivers.
 
On my Spirit I find myself using the pliers, awl, and the chisel tools the most.
 
I carry a LM Core at work. The pliers get the most use, followed by the phillips driver.
