Susan... I have a pair of heavy duty fence pliers/cutters in my regular car tools, but was thinking more of a multitool for people in earthquake area... something like a wonder bar pry tool, with a squared notch in the nail pulling jaw to break chain link and barbed wire, with a couple of large industrial saw blades like a "sawzall" one for wood, one for metal that could swing out to a stop and have everything in one package.  Florida is a right to carry state and I do, and if I were charged with  tresspass I think the ride in the cruiser would be to a place of safety..I did a 30 year stint with 9th graders, some of them turned into pretty good lawyers.   regards Les
