Multi-tools are small enough to be carried in a trouser pocket or wallet. Many models also come with a pouch to wear them on the belt. Among the earliest examples is the famous Swiss Army Knife as supplied by makers Victorinox and Wenger . The actual version supplied to the Swiss Army includes a Knife blade, a Reamer , a Bottle-opener / Screwdriver / Wire Stripper , and a Can-opener /screwdriver. Other versions may include items like a Nail File , Tweezers , folding Scissors , a Tooth Pick , a Magnifying Glass , screwdriver bits and others. There are also versions that have special tools for specific sports or outdoor activities like Golf , Horseback Riding , Hunting or Fishing . Another well-known type is based on a pair of strong folding Pliers , usually with Wire Cutter s, and also has a folding knife blade as well as assorted other folding tools. The best-known product of this type is the Leatherman tool whose name has become a Genericized Trademark for multitools. Other makers include Gerber Legendary Blades , Kershaw Knives , Schrade , and SOG Knife . Models like the Wenger Pocketgrip may be viewed as a kind of precursor to the leatherman type. They are basically Swiss army knives with integral pliers that lock down when not in use. EXTERNAL LINKS
