Multitools

Here is another good purchase for your holiday gift money. If you aren’t familiar with a Leatherman multitool, you may live in a cave. It is the current Swiss army knife. I have little ones and big ones and they work equally well. I had need of a Phillips screwdriver and had no tools with me. I used the auger to push holes in the drywall, pushed in the anchors and switched to the pliers to pull out the old anchors. This is an ideal tool for the glove compartment of your car.
Here is a list of the various brands of multitools:
• Gerber
• SOG
• Kershaw
• CRKT
• Buck
• KutMaster
• Schrade
• Leatherman

This was a good link for an overview of brands.
Be Aware they aren't cheap but a good tool sedom is cheap.
