The knife is one of the most versatile tools ever invented. For some people, though, this isn't enough. Multi-tools combine a suite of useful tools into a single handle, allowing you to carry the equivalent of a full toolbox around in your pocket. At CopsPlus, we stock multi-tools from some of the world's finest manufacturers, including SOG, Gerber and KA-BAR.
A typical multi-tool contains a selection of tools that sit tucked away between two handles. When the handles are swung open butterfly knife-style, they can be deployed from the handle that they are mounted inside. In some cases, the tools are locked into the handles individually to prevent accidental deployment and potential injury. Most multi-tools also feature plier jaws at the ends of the handles, which may be blunt or needle nose. The handles can contain a near-infinite range of compact tools, but the same few appear in almost all designs. Almost all feature a knife blade, typically a drop point or clip point blade that can pierce and slice easily. Many come with a combination edge to slice the widest range of materials effectively. Most also come with both flat head and Phillips screwdrivers. Files, wire cutters and can and bottle openers are also extremely common.
This section also features tools that fall outside the typical multi-tool template. Entrenchment tools are primarily designed for digging, but often also feature additional functions such as serrated edges and built-in picks. Keychain tools are simpler and more compact than regular multi-tools, providing a few of the most essential functions in a platform that fits onto a keychain. This section is also where you will find knife sharpening tools such as sharpening stones and rods, as well as full knife maintenance kits.
