Multi-purpose tools.

[Midnitemo]

Multitools are a compromise but can be a real boon to have in certain circumstances , you can't beat having the right tool for the job as it makes life so much easier but anytool that will work in a given situation is better than no tool, they are so handy as there usually carried on your belt and as for breaking them the branded ones carry a 25year or lifetime guarantee and i've never known one to break, the generic ones vary greatly in quality but some of them are really impressive...for what they cost i wouldn't be without one...saved me loads of hassle on more than one occasion.
