Every man or woman should have some kind of multi-tool in their possession--Leathermans, Gerbers, Victorinox, to name a few. Again, stressing that anything can come across in your life that will delay your progress, you will need the basic tools to get you past that. One of them is the Gerber MP600 Needlenose 0755G (Non-EOD) Multi-tool.
There are many components that this 8.2 oz tool carries. Ranging from blades, a wire-cutter, its plier, various-sized and different screwdrivers, can and bottle openers and even a lanyard ring, this thing gets you past most of the obstacles that you may come across. One very, very neat feature is the one-handed opening. The needlenose pliers and wire-cutters are hidden within the tool itself to make it compact enough to hide in its ballistic-nylon sheath. Length closed is around 5 inches, and overall is 6.56 inches.

It does come with an accessories kit that has additional bits that the original tool itself may have missed.
The unfortunate side about this item is the fact that, unlike Leathermans (popular multi-tool company), the tools are located within the handle where the person would have to flick open the pliers (by the way, they're not held open via internal spring), find what you need, lock it open and then slide the pliers closed for extra security. However, this is still an issued-tool to troops overseas and is still reliable enough to do the job. I should know, I have this snuggled in a 5.11 Tactical magazine holster on my duty-belt and I use it frequently.
It costs around $99.99 CAD without tax.
