That's because they pioneered the design of the plier-style multi-tool.
When most people picture a multi-tool in their mind, an image of a Leatherman appears. Even though many multi-tools come with a knife, they are a different part of your EDC. But a multi-tool should not be treated as the same thing as an everyday carry knife. For a lot of people, their EDC knife takes on that role. You can take on several tasks using the right implement with a multi-tool. He had it for so long there was no brand and of course he never remembered where he got it, but said it's fairly common for guys of his vintage to use for repairs.How to Pick the Best Multi-tool for Your EDCĪs its name implies, the multi-tool includes multiple tools in one package. I think it was a butane but I don't remember. I have never seen one like it in any smoke shop since then it looks like a pen or really more like a pen light. My high school music teacher smoked a pipe, and the lighter he used to cure pad glue was a pipe lighter he told me. Let me say something you aren't used to from the little shits, I mean students. Do you have any idea what I might be talking about? He had it for so long there was no brand and of course he never remembered where he got it, but said it's fairly common for guys of his vintage to use for repairs.
Basically I had the stuff we didn't have in the supply case, like pads & sheet cork. Probably should have got in trouble quite a few times as it was no secret I was fixing stuff. I actually had in my backpack a plano box with a drum key, screwdriver set, key oil, cork grease, slide grease, a wine cork (yes that was dumb but it came in handy for odd 'thick' corks) pliers, and a lighter. I fixed at least one piece on every single instrument in use at some point in my high school & college band days. This happens here all the time and they usually find whatever they heard about and worse.Ĭarry your stuff at home or on the weekends and whatever you do, never put it in your school bag- you'll forget about it and the chances of discovering it's still there in school are too high.Ĭlick to expand.Let me say something you aren't used to from the little shits, I mean students. If your vehicle is on school property and you're a minor, the police can and will search it (the plain view doctrine goes out the window when you're underage and on private property). Leave that stuff in your car and for the love of all that is holy, DO NOT tell everyone you see about your cool Leatherman or newest pocket knife. You're begging for disciplinary action and or a criminal record no matter what you think you'll need it for or whatever you will claim your intent was for the item. In our time of the "zero tolerance" BS that are mostly overreactions, I'm begging you to not bring any form of tool into the school bldg. My administrators know the equipment exists and that it is secure. Quick background- I'm a music teacher that is constantly fixing instruments, so I keep a small hand box where the most dangerous things are a utility knife and a 12V drill- the box is locked at all times because the liability of a student getting hurt will cost me my career. Wow, one of the rare occasions being a teacher is handy in a tool forum. Play their game and make the best of it while you're there. I totally get the OP's situation, but don't risk F'ing up your school career over this. Broke door handle off my pickup when it was -17 out. Used the light to help get good pictures of a part I was trying to Identify. Today I fixed a coworkers glasses, wrote some notes, and cut netwrap off a hay bale, all with my Swisschamp, and used the magnifying glass to read some terminal #s off an electrical connector. Hardly a day goes by where I don't need one of these. Maybe I'm crazy, but a Swisschamp in my pocket. Gun stayed on the bus all day.Īs for EDC items, I alternate between Leathermen Wave, Sidekick, and Crunch, in belt sheath or pocket clip, depending on day and level of dress.
#Edc multi tool for teacher driver#
Growing up, you could take a shotgun or rifle on the school bus, and the driver would drop you wherever you wanted, and let you hunt your way home. Gifted my 15 y/o nephew a nice Victorinox knife last year.
