Finally a SAN with an Allen Key.

I use this one:

The CyberTool. It's designed for working on computers and the like, and has a bit tool on it. One of the included bits has an allen key on one side, and it's become extremely useful.

But just to rebel, I got a blue one...

Thanks. You're only as cool as your Swiss Army Knife.

I've got a swiss army knife with a knife, a pair of scissors, tweezers, and a nail file. Razor sharp, I should add; you can cut yourself with the knife without knowing it.

It also has my name on it.

Is that why you are dangerous?

And what colour, red or blue?

I got red. I kind of wish it was black like my former (much more basic) Swiss Army Knife.

I also have a Leatherman Wave multi-tool. The pliers can't be beat, and the locking blades are very nice. The scissors are also much more sturdy than the CyberTool.

Red if you want it genuine, blue if you want it awesome.

EDIT: And purple if you can get one if you want it QUANTUM POWER™.

Funny, I've always thought the Swiss had the best pair of scissors of any multi tool I've owned. I have a Leatherman but it just lives in my desk, I don't like it very much.

When I was a technician I used to carry a Gerber Legend around with me...

One handed opening for the knife was very useful, and the pliers were better than any I could find. I loved that thing, I think it's in my car somewhere...

It's the spring thing, it's pretty flimsy on the Cybertool.

I agree; the spring on the scissors for my knife has gotten bent out of alignment and now they never pop back into the correct position when I use them. Could the Swiss have used some glue or something to hold everything in place?

Yup, I have the exact same problem. The Leatherman scissors though uses a pretty simple mechanism which will work forever.

I've been working in apartments forever and have never once felt the need to have/use the scissors on any multitool I've owned. In fact, Leatherman used to market its line as two lines: survival/work and angler.

As the name implies, the angler line was for fishermen and was the line that had scissors for snipping your line. After a while, they decided that the angler moniker was too restrictive on their line of pussy multitools, so they just lumped everything into one line. However, you could still tell which side of things the tools were on.

Work: PST, Supertool, Supertool 200, Crunch, Core
Pussy: Juice, Wave, Flair (corkscrew? cheese spreader? WTF!), anything else with interchangeable bits whose driver takes up too much space and that no reasonable person will have on them (or could get lost), or exposed tools that prevent its being used as a hammer. I mean, just look at the names.

Traditionally, if you see scissors in there, it's pretty much automatically a pussy multitool, if for no other reason than the scissors are taking the place of something more valuable.

So we've established that mrxak is a pussy? Does that mean we can now lock this topic as it's now been resolved?

Whew, mine don't have scissors. I'm glad to know I don't own a pussy multitool.

I know I'd be frankly ashamed to own such a tool. Might not even be able to live with the shame if I'm honest...
