You can never have a multi-tool with enough tools featured on it, but they don’t always look that great. The Gerber Crucial features a gray and green color scheme which looks really attractive and still offers up more than enough tools including v-cut wire cutters, philips and flat head screwdrivers, a blunt tip for plying and scraping, a liner lock, bottle opener, carabiner clip, thumb stud, and a half-serrated, half-fine edge knife. $45.
When your engines have lost their spark and they don’t give you enough love for mowing the lawn, blowing the leaves, or slicing up those trees, then your engine may require a visit from the Spark Doctor. It’s an 8-in-1 multi-tool that takes care of your spark plug maintenance needs. Including in the doctor’s kit are three sockets, a 5/8″, 3/4″, and a 13/16″. The doctor also has a brass brush, a metal file, metal pick, gap gage, and a gapping tool, all wrapped up in a Swiss Army-esque package. $18.
If you have the use for a bunch of different tools, but not a lot of space put them all, then check out the Tool Logic Survival Card. This is a tool pouch, that is credit card sized, and includes a 2 inch serrated knife, magnesium alloy fire starter, red LED flashlight, loud signal whistle, tweezers and a toothpick. Everything but the kitchen sink. $20.
Any good do-it-yourselfer knows that more important than the knowledge of how to do something is having the right tool to get the job done. This is where the Dremel Multi-Max comes in, possibly the last tool you will ever need to buy. This thing comes equipped with a 1.5 amp motor, a sanding pad, flexible scraper, wood blade, flat saw blade, all of which can be stored neatly inside of the included case. $95.
Nowadays, you can’t get past airport security without them finding your most secret of tools. What’s the point in having the best Victorinox Swiss Army knife if it will only land in the hands of the powers that be. Why not choose this alternative from another manufacturer with Swiss attached to it. The Utili-Key from Swiss Tech looks like your ordinary house or car keys but is actually 6 tools in 1. It has a patented release for easy attaching/detaching from the key ring. Tools include three screwdrivers; a flat head, Philips head, and a micro sunglasses driver. A flat and serrated edge knife and a bottle opener complete the collection of keys-turned-tools. For days when you need a repair tool kit and you must go through TSA, then this might just be the handyman ordered. $6.50.
Forget your Swiss Army Knife, or any other tool that you think is capable of all of your tasks, we just found a winner. The Tad Gear B.R.A.T.T. is a screwdriver, a strider wrench, a nail puller, a bottle opener, and improvised shank, and we’re sure you can find a bunch of other uses for it as well. This solid titanium tool definitely won’t crack, and it is small enough to fit in even the smallest of pockets. $100.
With all the goodies and gizmos contained within the case of this Casio Pathfinder, you’d be hard pressed not to get back into civilization in case you get lost somewhere. For the price, you’ll get a multitude of tools that can help you find your way. Aside from telling the time, obviously, the watch has a calendar, a moon phase diagram, a tide graph, a compass (with one recorded bearing), altimeter which records up to 20 measurements, barometer, and thermometer. That’s not even half of the features from the watch. The solar charger means that you don’t have to change the batteries – ever. A power save feature shuts of the display when the watch gets into a prolonged stay in the dark. The titanium bracelet and ruggedly tough case makes the watch water resistant up to 200 meters. Swiss watches will have a hard time keeping up with the features from this Pathfinder, and with their astronomical prices, you’d rather be lost in the woods with a Casio. $400.
