I would agree with you that real screwdrivers. etc. are better than their counterparts on a MT, but them MTs are, or should be, always handy. That is their outstanding virtue, and their reason for existence.

In my early days in the NPS, I carried a SAK, and I found it useful when the occasional screw needed tightening. I went for the original L tool, the PSK, because it had pliers, and doing SAR, we had to deal with jammed locking carabiners - the PSK allowed me to delete the pliers I carried for just that purpose.

Since then, my MT has saved the day on numerous occasions, one, at least, of which could have developed into a fairly serious situation. The tool in the hand in worth two that are back in the shop....

OTOH, who doesn't like to work with the most suitable tool for the job? Decisions, decisions.....
