Same here smile

More uses?
  • spring for mechanical devices improvisation;
  • fire starter (over the battery terminals);
  • phone (PDA, PC, etc) electrical connector pin;
  • tiny screwdriver (grind the tip);
  • bigger screwdriver (use side or coil);
  • detector radio (use the tip over a rusty razor blade);
  • can opener (poke enough holes to break the tin by hands), but a big sewing needle is far better for that;
  • straight cutter for plastics;
  • zipper puller replacement;

But in fact, I prefer to carry a roll of steel wire braided in clean plastic. Longer piece have even more uses, including a safety pin improvisation. To make it stiff I can always harden it over the flame, and the sharping file is always with me too.
