I'm looking at multi-tools online, mainly for sailing, and I am
wondering what sailors out there like. I am fairly new to sailing but
I understand the need for a good tool. I carry a seperate knife so
that is not a big issue but a pair of pliers would be very handy as
well as the option to have a screw driver or a pair of small scissors
available. I really want one that has a one hand opening feature for
the pliers because I don't want to have to let go of the boat to open
the jaws in rough seas. Everything I have seen in the stores around
here is pretty limited and is only two handed variety. I have seen
several Gerber ones on the net that are one handed opening but I am
reluctant to drop $100 on something I have never seen without any idea
if it is what I actually want or if I like the tool. So what do you
think and what do you use?

Thanks,
Bill
