What tool do you use most?

[pahl]

What tool so you find yourself using the most on your multi-tool?

For me it's the phillips screwdriver.

That or the nail file.....

For me it's the pliers followed closely by the wire cutter and then probably the phillips.

I use all of the tools on my Wave regularly.

I actually use the can opener, too.

I love the diamond file - it's really nice for touch ups on blades, etc.

 

[popsgee]

knife, sissors, flat screwdriver, philips

 

[klattman]

knife, flat driver (prying), phil driver, pliers, wire cutters.

 

[Sidewinder]

Sissors, pliers, phillips screwdriver. It would be the knife, but that job is handled by other knives.

Tools I use the most on my Wave (in no paprticular order)

pliars
blade
can opener
largest flathead driver
philips driver
file
scissors

occasionally I use the serrated blade, but I find it is pretty low quality. I havn't used the saw much lately, but I used to use the saw a lot on my SAK. I am not sure that I have ever had to use the smaller flatheads.

like most here (i'm taking for granted), i have had at one time or another seemingly every multitool ever made. of all i've owned, i like the "new" wave the best. Victorinox swisstool a close second. (the plier jaws open a bit too small for my liking)

the tools: pliers
file (diamond's the only way to go)
screwdriver bit (reversable on new wave)

always have a nice folder for cutting.
