Columbia River Multi-Purpose/Pocket Tools
A multi-tool is a portable, versatile hand tool that combines several individual tool functions in a single grip or in the shape of a credit card. Multi-tools are small enough to be carried in a pocket. Many models of multi-tools also come with a pouch to wear them on the belt. A well-known type of pocket tool is based on a pair of strong folding pliers, usually with wire cutters, and also has a folding knife blade as well as assorted other folding tools. The best-known product of this type is the Leatherman tool whose name has become a genericized trademark for multitools.
