Re: Do You Carry a Multitool?
Does a .357 mag count? It has multiple uses and it serves .38 spl as well.

Works well as a hammer, door stop, and paper-weight also!Ad Orientem wrote: ↑Fri Dec 06, 2019 9:45 pm Does a .357 mag count? It has multiple uses and it serves .38 spl as well.

Sometimes, usually not.

Yes, it IS a good one even though it seems not to be true!Smith1776 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2019 11:27 amvnatale wrote: ↑Thu Dec 12, 2019 8:09 pmAccording to this Bill Gates never said that quote...

However, isn't it true that the head of IBM said he saw no reason why any person would want a computer at home?

Re: Do You Carry a Multitool?
Yes, I believe that and many other high ranking people (mostly on the business side of the computer industry) seemed to believe that computers were not headed in the personal direction. Rather, they'd grow bigger and more industrialized.
It's amazing how wrong even smart people can be. For instance:
This one seems to have much more validity than the supposed Gates quote.

Re: Do You Carry a Multitool?
My bad. Carried this over from avatar thread.
I bought one because of you, Mountaineer. Page 1 of this thread. Foliage green handle.
For those who might want a different pocket knife, check out the Spyderco Delica 4. By far the best pocket knife I've ever had. Holds an edge really well. Suitable for lots of different cutting needs from food and cardboard cutting to personal defense and everything in between. Medium Tex recommended it to me several years ago. It's an awesome knife.

I left it at my parents' house in FL (on purpose) and now I miss it. Might have to get another one to keep with me.

Re: Do You Carry a Multitool?
I've finally ditched the Victorinox SwissChamp and picked up a Leatherman Free P2.
Such an excellent tool. Each implement can be accessed and put away with only one hand. Super useful feature for when you're steadying whatever you're working on with one hand or if you're on a ladder. The pliers are solid, although they are not spring loaded (a bit annoying). From what I understand, spring loaded pliers are really only for "low end" tools because the cavity needed for the spring mechanism weakens the structural integrity of the pliers.
Overall, I find the fit and finish of Leatherman isn't quite as good as that of a Swiss Army Knife, but the designs have higher utility.

This is it?

If so, not inexpensive.
Also, if you were going into a building with among other things stated had "No weapons allowed" could this item be considered a weapon?

Thanks. Looks like Massachusetts is a common sense state in this regard.

For certain. Mystified how that happened!

Re: Do You Carry a Multitool?
In canada it’s definitely legal. Knives are illegal when the blade is deployed via a spring switch, button, or something similar. A manually deployed folder is (fortunately) perfectly legal.vnatale wrote: ↑Fri Oct 28, 2022 8:00 pmThis is it?Smith1776 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 27, 2022 12:42 pm I've finally ditched the Victorinox SwissChamp and picked up a Leatherman Free P2.

Re: Do You Carry a Multitool?
A multitool is disallowed anywhere you can't bring a knife. Even the shortest of blades. Worldwide.
Sucks.
This is the best multitool (without a blade) that I have ever carried. But ... I still kept getting it confiscated in every random country and after buying it 3 or 4 times, I gave up.
Now, I carry a cupcake spatula. Just the small one.
