Take a look at the Kershaw (Or the Craftsman `clone'.) Locking Pliers Multitool. I used to carry a SOG Power Pliers but I switched to the Kershaw mainly because the pliers are `vice-grip style' locking and it makes it a lot nicer for both holding onto things and actually tightening or loosening things. (One `plus' is that the file and hacksaw blades are easily replaceable when they eventually wear out and now that Sears is selling the basically the same tool they stock the replacement pieces.) Oh, BTW, the knife blade on either one of them is easily accessable since it is on the outside, is locking, and is *SHARP!* right from the `git-go'. I've got it and an old style Victorinox `Swiss Champ' SAK on my belt 24/7 and feel `nekid' whenever I have to be someplace that seems to think that they make me a `dangerous person' and make me remove them.
