Buy a Multi Tool

A multi-tool is one of the most important implements in any kitchen or home. It’s like a miniature emergency kit with which minor repairs can be made quickly and easily. Having one of these on hand saves many trips to hardware stores, and often saves the money of hiring help.

This variety is known as a skeletal multi tool

In shopping for a multi-tool this is one time when price really does say a lot about what you’re getting. Cheap brands aren’t durable and the tools often get lodged inside. You’ll end up replacing an inexpensive multi-tool pretty quickly so just spend more and get a GOOD brand.

In terms of what items a good multi-tool offers look for one with pliers, a wire cutter, straight and Phillips head screw driver, bottle opener, file, wood awl, key chain, scissors, tweezers, pen, light, toothpick, straight blade and serrated blade for starters. While that sounds like a lot, a tool of that nature measures about 3 in long, making it light and easy to carry or store. While you’re examining everything also make sure that the tools are made from a quality metal like stainless steel.

AAs well as many brands of multi tools there are many types

A quality blade carries a quality warranty some are even covered for life. While you can certainly spend more, a knife costing between 60-100 should fit the bill.
