If you have a relatively worthless tool on a multi-tool that you happen to like in spite of it's limited functionality, post about it here, preferably with a photo. Doesn't matter if it's a hoof trimmer, a marlinspike or a pharmacist's scalpel, I want to hear them all.
I think mine might be the divot repair tool on the Vic Golfer. Note, some earlier Golfer models came with a can opener/cap lifter/screw driver combo tool. But Vic must evidently have gotten complaints that the combo tool was actually too useful, or complaints that you can't fix a divot with a combo tool or a knife blade. Or something.
In spite of the fact that I don't golf ... ever .... at all ... and therefore have little interest in divots or their repair, I still think it's a fun tool. It could be used as a make shift camp fork if you needed one. I'm certain I can open a bottle cap with it (and can't wait to try). You could poke a lazy cow with it, if you wanted, to get it to move. Ummmmm ..... maybe a light use prying device. Ummmm ... you could use it to pick up something dirty off the ground (but clean it well again before you use it as a camp fork, please). Other than that I don't have a whole lot.
But I still think it's probably more useful than the silly "multi-purpose" hook.
