This is the only multi tool a sailor needs IMO.

I'm purchasing a good knife and marline spike already but a pair of
pliers and a a few other small tools would be very helpful as well.
The knife comes first though.

Get a tool box, and a box of wooden toothpicks, tweezers in the
medical kit, ect.

Problem with swiss army knife type tools are they are usually to small
and weak to do any real job. I've had several stainless multi tools,
spike, pliers, screw driver, ect and ended up tossing them all,
usually after destroying them , or what I was working on.
