A multi tool is bought for what it is carrying rather than what it can do at a bench. Every tool in it is a compromise against a dedicated one, and the reason to own one is that it is present when nothing else is rather than that any part of it is better. Weight is the other half of that, since a heavy tool is the one left on the bench.
Function count is therefore misleading if read as capability. A tool carrying eight functions that are actually used is worth more than one carrying twenty where fifteen are never opened, and the list matters more than the number. The list is printed on the packaging rather than only the headline count.
The plier is usually the reason a multi tool is chosen over a knife, because it does something no folding knife can. Where the plier is the point, its jaw and its opening action matter more than anything else on the tool. A one-handed opening plier is far more usable than one needing both hands to deploy.
Carrying form decides whether the tool is with you. A pocket tool has to close small enough to be carried without thinking about it, and a belt form trades that for a larger body. A tool left in a drawer has no functions at all. Send the work to 07754288583 on WhatsApp. Carrying form is stated per tool rather than assumed from the size. A tool carried daily also gets used daily, which is the whole return on buying one.
