Pocket Utility tool

What do you guys use as a pocket utility tool?

I personally have a swiss army knife, and a leatherman, find both useful, leatherman even more so around the farm because of the pliers.

pocket tools

I carry a Gerber Multi-Tool on my belt and a Kershaw lever assisted opening pocket knife in my, well, pocket. I find both extremely useful, don't use the blade on my gerber much, mostly the pliers and screwdrivers.

Same here. I usuall use my Colt Cobra for cutting. Its a GREAT knife, if you dont have one and you need a good knife I suggest looking into one.

I usually always carry a Smith and Wesson Special Ops Knife. Its a bit overkill for cutting open boxes, and slicing off vynl tubing, but it keeps roudy customers off of you. I want a Leatherman Wave, to carry around on my belt, too bad the dang schools would lock you up if you had one of those things on your belt.

I have an old Estwing one blade knife I carry around for everyday... use it for everything from cutting boxes to opening mail to punching holes in things, and a thousand other uses it was'nt intended for. 95% of the time I also have a pair of cheap pliers in a leather holster on my belt. I carry the cheepo ones because I use them for everything from turning bolts and nuts to banging on things with them... so if I happen to tear them up or lose them, I'm not out a whole lot. I also have a small flashlight, nail clippers, and a disc with four screwdriver heads on my keyring, and always, my old Zippo.

Ya just never know, ya know?

I always carry my Buck knife and I keep a Gerber in the truck just for those occasions when you really need a tool.

I also wouldn't be without a pair of slip joint pliers and some baling wire!
