Are there bomb defusing instructions with this? I wouldn’t know whether to cut the block of cheese first or do something with the cell phone.

This is an invaluable tool to have on you. Many times you have have something fixed, because you have it on you, before someonelse finds the screwdriver to fix it with.
I use a “Leatherman Core.” I’ve “Made” a duct tape wallet design for the Leatherman on an external duct tape pocket to the wallet, to fix or “Make.”

I bought one of these a couple of months back and it quickly replaced my other, larger multi tool. This thing rocks. So small that it doesn’t leave a bulge in your pocket and yet not too small to be REALLY useful. Well worth the cost…and how freaking cool to be labeled a “bomb defuser”.
