    It’s more like a Swiss army knife, really.

    Any multi-tool will always be inferior to the single-use tools it replaces. That’s the cost you pay for being compact and convenient.

    Sure, every multi-tool has a screwdriver on it somewhere … but it will never be as good as a real screwdriver for driving screws.

    Then again, it would be a pain in the ass to carry around 30 different individual tools. So it really depends what your needs are.

      Idk Technology Connections said that minivans are the swiss-army knife of cars and I wouldn’t disagree…and that many car buyers don’t really evaluate their needs when car shopping, it’s largely emotion-driven.

      I miss my minivan.
