That's why you need a real Leatherman tool or one of the other top
quality tools instead of the cheap junk. The cheap ones won't hold an edge
on the knives and the screw drivers strip the first tile you use them and
they just don't fit together or work properly. I've had my Leatherman for
about ten years and it still works fine.

I carry a leatherman/Gerber type multi tool ($7 at
AutoZone and just as
good) and a small aluminum flashlight in a belt holder that I got from
Walmart for about $10.
I'd never owned a Leatherman-like tool before. I bought a
mid-priced, stainless one at Farm & Fleet a while ago.
Up until my kids lost it, I questioned its sturdiness.
I didn't like the way it cut into my hand when I squeezed
the pliers, and the pliers didn't seem strong enough
for "real" disassembly work.
