What is the most used "tool" on your SAK/multitool?

I use the toothpick the most . If not for the toothpick I would not carry the Sac much.

On the multitool Is say the diamond file sees the most use, sharpening hooks.

The most used tool on my CEM lobster is the flush cutting curved jaw cuticle nipper. I used to tug at hang nails and skin tags with my teeth, a bloody awful business. Next in order: file, scissors, and cork screw.

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.

Ack! Plucking nose hairs can lead to infection in what MD specialists calls "the triangle of death." It is much safer to trim them with purpose designed blunt tip scissors or, very carefully, with your Classic scissors.

Honestly, I don't know what MT implement I use most. Almost all get a workout, depending on what comes up in a day. I could more easily determine what gets used least. I notice there is a thread on that subject, so I'll head there....

Picking your teeth and sharpening hooks a lot? Are you a fisherman or a pirate?
 
My old original Swiss Tool shows the most wear on the pliers, the metal file and the serrated blade. I use the phillips and flat head screw drivers a lot too and the saw. The PE blade sees the least use even behind the leather punch for frequency of use. Honestly I could do without the serrated blade but have only used it for jobs I'd rather not use my other EDC for but although it shows a lot of wear the uses were infrequent, just hard and abusive when used on that one so to look at it you'd think I used it more than I do. I bought a new one with the scissors and find I rather like having scissors too and they are seeing a lot of use.

I use the awl on my SAK Farmer a good bit. I use it to punch an air hole in the top of a beer can when chugging is in play. This whole lets the beer flow out more freely.
Yes I should grow up but some things are just too much fun.
 
On my SOG powerassist its the pliers followed closely by the flat head screwdriver tip on the end of the file. On my SAK farmer its the saw.
