Multi-tool

Multi-Tool (TL5)

The modern Pocket Survival Tool was invented by Tim Leatherman in 1983, but similar "multiplex" tools have been around since the 1850s. Their versatility and compactness make them popular among soldiers and emergency personnel. Many variations exist, featuring such tools as blasting cap crimpers, needle-nose pliers, locking pliers, digital tire-pressure gauges, saw blades, and different types of screw- and hex- drivers. Finishes range from stainless steel to stealthy matte black.

Like the Multi-Function Knife, the utility of a multi-tool depends on the skill being used and the job at hand. It's probably at least improvised equipment (-5 quality) for most technological tasks. For routine tasks, the GM might allow it to stand-in for a mini-tool kit. $50, 0.5 lb. LC4.
