Bare Minimum Tool Made Right

I got my Skeletool over a year ago (chose the regular version over CX due to preference for the plain edge blade) and it has been with me every day since. I have a number of multi-tools and used them plenty, but the one that gets used the most is the one you have on you. The pocket clip on my Skele (I call it that) was a genius idea along with the design of the tool itself. A knife blade to cut and open, pliers to bend, and the bit driver can get you by for most tasks at hand whether it's assembling a new shelf for your books, or fixing a broken drawer at work; it can handle it all.
 
Thank you for this amazing product which will be there for me when I need it most. Included a pic of some of my EDC gear that's been used hard over the years. Not planning to win the contest, just sharing my thoughts and saying a big Thanks.
