A good multi-tool is worth its weight in gold. I remember in the 90s when they first started really appearing in the military. For the first couple of years infantry soldiers would buy them on their own as they were so useful on missions and eventually the system caught up and began procuring them for general issue. A good multi-tool can literally save lives, allowing you to cut wire, use the knife for survival situations and some even now incorporate a flint for fire starting or mirror for aircraft signalling.

When you are in the market for a multi-tool be sure to buy quality and ensure that the knife and other tools securely lock in when folded out, a very important safety point when cutting with the blade or using a tool to ensure it doesn't fold back and cut your hand.
