If you could design/customize your own multi-tool/Swiss Knife, what would be the 5 things you wish to include?
Mine would be:
(1) A tape measure/meter - I am a designer and I need to have it all the time
(2) A pencil/pen (and paper) - that's also a requirement
(3) toothbrush (and toothpaste)- got to have one handy :D hhehehe
(4) comb - I need it so much. My hair gets pretty uncontrollable.
(5) emergency cellphone charger - I badly need one because I often run out of battery wen I am away from home.
I think my customized multi-tool would be very huge..hehehe
What would be your own multi-tool like?

I love some of the questions people come up with on the Lot. This is one of them 
. So assuming that my Mukti-tool/Swiss Knife will be large, here I go..
1- A knife: Surprise surprise..LOL..But this is pretty handy.
2- Pen/Pencil: We all need it.
3- USB drive: I am an IT person and use a pen drive quite a bit.
4- Hair brush/comb: Coz my hair gets messy easily. I have wavy hair.
5- Small box- For breathe mint/pills etc.

I would need a Phillips and flathead screwdriver, a can opener, a sharp knife and that's about it! With those 4 tools I can survive nearly anything. Too bad a Swiss knife doesn't contain string because it's invaluable for trapping game, fishing, repairing things and so much else.

I've been a fan of swiss knives for a long time and I hardly ever leave home without my leatherman and victorinox set. If I can design my own I would add a gps, automatic distance meter, tv remote control locator ( I always misplace my remote control), skeleton key ( that can pick every kind of lock under the sun)and a mini flash drive.
cheers!

oh, this is an interesting discussion.
is there a size limit on the knife, cause this could go all day.
i'll limit myself to 5 implements... if i can.
1. a combined 15mm spanner/6mm allen key for my bike
2. a spare car key
3. a torch is always good
4. a knife is also always good if standard and boring.
(never go anywhere without one)
5. hmmm.... this is sounding like an ordinary swiss army knife....
and a compartment for spare hairbands and bobby pins.

This is a great discussion. Mine Swiss tool would have to have:
1) Scissors
2) Tweezers
3) Nail file
4) Pen and paper
5) Dental floss
That would do, I carry those things in my bag anyway so it would be handy for them to be incorporated in the one item.

Mine would include a pen/paper, screwdriver with both a flat head and a phillip's head, all purpose string, a knife, and a lighter.
Pen/paper so I can write lists and ideas as I need to, a dual headed screwdriver because I can never find one when I need it, all purpose string for, well, everything that I can use it for, a knife to cut through the string among many other things, and a lighter to use to light fires, etc.
