    Sorry for the late reply.

    It is quite nice to be honest, and it is a good size, too. Not too big, not too small and it all fits into 1 pouch. The tool uses a bolt and pin system, with a larger piece to tighten it down the specific tool. It's made by Rothco if you are familiar with the name. I believe it's about $15-20 depending on where you buy it. As for the tool itself, I've heard that Rothco can make some cheap stuff, but this tool has a good rep and is said to be very sturdy and durable over time.

    Does that multi tool have a hollow handle? I may get one just because of that reason.
    I Wonder Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here, and drink what ever comes out?"

    5" vise grip. I have used it for everything from cooking to throttle linkage. It has saved my bacon more times than I can count.

    I don't know if it was already posted or not, but I say a chisel. I keep one to three of them of various sizes in my daypack. That way I can split firewood, take fatwood and such out or off of trees, and many other tasks that may hurt a good quality knife.

    Canned TUNA in Olive oil. 3 uses.

    1. Poke a hole in the top, stick in a string wick and use it as a candle.
    2. Eat the Tuna
    3. Use the can for other uses

    Good one. I used vise grips as a hand throttle on my 70 Scout. Used that way for about a year until i traded it in. The car salesman tried to reject it as a trade but i prevailed.

We have room for but one flag, the American flag … We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language … and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”
