Pocket Tools
© Brooke Clarke
Background
Many years ago while visiting various
Harley Davidson dealers I came across the first Leatherman tool and was
very impressed. One small tool that could do many things.
Well built. Since then there have been many knockoffs, but I
still have a couple of the first generation Leatherman tools.
BuckTool
- Multipurpose
Tools
Similar to the Latherman tool.
I learned of these at a Harley-Davidson dealership in Oakland.
Great tool to keep in the glove compartment of you car.
I have used for numerous repairs both automotive and at home or
visiting.
Pictured in the teeth is a Thumb Nut which was part of the terminals on
a No. 6 Dry Cell. They were used for
telephones, alarms, toys, flashlights, Western
Union Clocks and many other applications. Probably the most
common battery of the first 50 years of dry batteries.
Screwdriver with many bits in the handle

M2, M3 & M4
pliers type tools
A number of innovative key chain tools.
A tool set in the space of a business card.
Although I own a number of multipurpose tools, I carry the
Classic Swiss army knife.
It is very versatile and has been used for all kinds of useful
tasks. Although many of the tools on this page will fit into your
pants pocket they are much too heavy to carry all the time. The
Classic Swiss army knife has an attachment point for a key ring and is
light enough to actually carry.
The Rambler is the same length as the Classic but has an additional
blade with a philiph screwdriver tip, a bottle opener and a notch for
stripping wires.
makes a number of hand tool sets
