I'm almost curious what kind of life you live? You never find yourself in a situation where having a knife, screwdriver, pliers, or a flashlight on you wouldn't be a huge convenience?
I'm not who you replied to, but no. I don't generally need any of those things when I'm out and about. I find myself occasionally needing stuff like that at home, but then I will have a nearby tool in a drawer at that point.
I never use knives to open boxes though. I just use my keys.
Well, sure I do have to fix something around the house or something like that, but then I got my trusty toolbox with all the stuff I need, so I have no need for multitools on my belt.
Fair enough, I guess I just end up needing to fix things for other people way more than the average person. And more often then not, a multi tool saves me a trip to my car tool box. Its mainly just the blade, and pliers that get a lot of use. But the scissors and file get used quite a bit, too.
