Started carrying a Spyderco long before i carried a multitool. I used to work in a hardware store and i cut rope, tubing, hose, wire on a daily basis. When i started toting a multitool i kept the spyderco because it takes too long to get to the blades on any of the multitools i used, this was before the wave was introduced. But i carry more than just my spyderco and supertool. The supertool is accompanied by a Arc LS with a 2AA clickie pack, a 6 inch Diamond adjustable wrench with the extra wide opening jaws, and a magnetic pickup tool (and no that is not a Ferrari). I also carry a Arc AAA, a tape measure, and a leatherman micra. The micra is used mainly for the scissors and the tweezers. The tweezers have been reground to a much sharper point which helps in digging out metal slivers, i work in a machine shop now. The only problems with my micra the scissors are getting dull, mainly from cutting shim stock and clipping off about a zillion zip ties, which i can't really fault leatherman for. The worst thing about all of this stuff is once you get used to carrying it, you can't do without it. And i'm sure there is a message in that too:>)
