Id use it for the usual things, cleaning my nails. Cutting fruit, opening boxes or whatever.
I've been carrying all types available in the Uk for years with no trouble at all, indeed i see cops wearing them AA and RAC men wearing them, Soldiers wearing them, electricians wearing them, only trouble I had was FlyBe said i could not wear mine on a flight it had to go in my case in the hold??. Millions of them have been sold in the UK from Gerber, Victorinox, Leatherman etc
Yeah, multi-tools are pretty well accepted now. Most sheeple/police know what they are and don't have a problem with you having them. Don't be flashing it around in public, and you'll be left alone.
I'm thinking of getting 2-3 multi tools. I'm still slightly stuck in a quandry as to what to go for. There are a few other companies I'm looking into. So I'll keep you all updated when I get mine.
The reasons for my want of the multi-tools, GHB, BOB and maybe EDC. I'm not sure about the last one. Just because, I don't have a need to use one everyday, or even every week. I work as a business development manager. We don't fix things. We call maintainance to do that. We don't cut wire, we call maintainance to do that. We don't lift anything but a phone handset, a pen, and a cup of coffee. Everything else, comes down to the maintainance team (who are greatly appreciated!)
The only time I would really need a multi tool would be bugging out, escape and evasion, getting home (maybe) and that really is about it. Sad but true.
