Re: Knifeless Multi-Tools

I know. I just don't carry a knife. For school, anyways. When I ride my bike, I carry a multitool with three hex wrenches and a flathead and Phillips screwdriver.

What really got me was that for a while, there was no knife policy at my school. Then a student lit a couple cherry bombs and they banned pretty much anything that could be used as a weapon (knives included.) For the next year or so: "Hey, does anyone have a knife?" "Eric, got a knife?" as I was the main person to have one on me. Response: "Didn't you hear about the new rule? Can't carry one anymore. Ask an adult." What was really bad was that these were adults asking...

Re: Knifeless Multi-Tools

Hah, I guess I am the last of the breed where we were allowed to have weapons in our vehicles on campus as long as they were on your gunrack ('course that was 11+ years ago). My school was also one where the teachers would ask who had a knife and 3/4 of the room would pull out something that could field dress a deer without a problem. I know, I know, Jeff Foxworthy sometimes hit a little too close to home.

There are dangerous tools in your shop. There are dangerous tools in your toolbox. What you need to do is find an appropriate tool and keep it in the shop and use it. Obviously the tools in your shop have been approved by someone with authority, it should be there that the tool goes, is approved, and stays. If you need to go somewhere, take a toolbox with you. I know a lot of people want to have personal multi-tools, but sometimes you just have to deal with not having one.

Re: Knifeless Multi-Tools

I carry a Swiss Army at all times, except during school hours. I know there's next to no chance of getting caught, but I don't like the consequences if I do. (Suspension, police involvement, and a nice black mark on my transcript)
It'd be really nice to be able to carry a knifeless tool. Thanks for the links!

Re: Knifeless Multi-Tools

I recently (yesterday) purchased a leatherman, then cut off and ground smooth where the blade was. This is now my at school/competition tool. This'll also be good, because the knife I used to use as a tool is a combat lockblade... so I can't carry it too easily. (for those who are curiou, the reason it classifies as combat is because it's a cold steel USMC knife, with the studded hammer on the butt of the blade...)

Re: Knifeless Multi-Tools

My multitool is a 3 inch knife I take EVERYWHERE with me.

When im at school, I leave it in my vehicle which I park off campus.

However, for robotics I have it with me regardless.
