10 Handy Places To Stash A Multi-tool

By:


The multi-tool is the ultimate versatile and portable accessory that is enjoyed by do-it-yourselfers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. With the variety of gadgets and gizmos included in multi-tools, one can accomplish all sorts of tasks and activities, such as giving on-the-trail manicures, opening bottles, cutting through kindling or rope and more.

Along with the multipurpose uses of multi-tools, one of the best aspects of these gadgets is that they are compact enough to be slipped into hundreds of different places so you can be prepared for all kinds of situations. Here are some examples of where your multi-tool can be stashed:

1. Pocket. You know the pocket knife trend? Well, a multi-tool is basically the more advanced version of a pocket knife, with all the essentials such as a wire cutter, flashlight, bottle opener, pliers, scissors, saw, etc. Therefore, a multi-tool is a perfect, compact everyday carry item for just about anyone.

2. Side pouch of a backpack. You can be more prepared for hiking, daytrips, sightseeing or other activities where a backpack is used (except airports) by placing a multi-tool in one of the pockets. This way you can handle all sorts of things that need to be repaired, removed, cut, etc., without bringing a bunch of tools that will take up room and weigh down your bag.

3. Purse. For the ladies out there who need a quick hangnail trim, to cut excess string from clothing, to open a package, to make quick fixes on common items or just to be prepared for anything and everything, the purse is a great place to store a handy multi-tool.

4. Under a pillow. For a sense of security, you can place a multi-tool under your pillow or in the nightstand. Multi-tools have a folding knife; for those who live alone, this can create a sense of security.

5. Drawer. Instead of dragging around a heavy toolbox, place multi-tools in the drawers of areas where one is commonly needed, such as the kitchen, office or garage.

6. Glove compartment. For quick fixes or in case of an emergency, storing a multi-tool in your glove compartment is a good idea as it will be easily accessible to you.

7. Under the car seat. If you are unable to reach your glove compartment during an emergency, placing a multi-tool under your car seat is a smart backup plan. Put your multi-tool in a pouch with Velcro so it doesn't slide around as you drive.

8. Craft kit. Multi-tools are perfect for craft projects from beadwork to wire crafts to knitting. Instead of lugging around a toolbox, crafters can use a multi-tool to tackle any projects that come their way.

9. Fishing vest pocket. First and foremost, make sure the multi-tool you bring on your fishing trip is rust proof. You should also make sure you securely attach your multi-tool to your vest by tying it with a strong string to the zipper in your vest pocket. Fishing multi-tools come with all sorts of goodies, such as split-ring pliers, floating line cutters, fish scissors and fish hook eye cleaner.

10. Tent pocket. Putting a multi-tool in your tent pocket is great because if you are camping and need to cut any rope, remove splinters, dress a wound or just whittle the perfect marshmallow roasting stick, it will right there at your disposal.

Multi-tools are fantastic as they can tackle many essential tasks while being compact and easy to place anywhere. Now you can be prepared for all sorts of situations with your multi-tool close at hand.
