Knife-based: This type of multi-tool features one or more large knife blades but usually won’t include a set of pliers.Though today’s multi-tools offer many functions, they fall into two main categories: knife-based and pliers-based. Instead, the tools in a standard multi-tool are made to allow the user to perform specific tasks in a pinch-when single-use tools aren’t available.
