Argh...), but the tool itself doesn't look good enough. I, too, have all of the tools necessary; a multi-tasking tool, however, is sometimes preferable. This one doesn't look good enough to make it worth my while. Sorry, Mrs. Claus. And AJ, I love the Lilliputian idea; sometimes I refer to my kids as Lilliputians. This English major loves literary references.</p> It sounds like a decent idea (I know things are supposed to be kid-safe, but today’s toy packaging is parent-safe, too!!!

I carry a Swiss ARmy knife too (or did until Christmas when I took it out to go on the plane and forget what safe place I put it in :( ) And I've MISSED it now that I haven't put it back!</p> I agree.

I've used the knife to shorten straws for my kids at restaurants, I have a tweezer with me in case of playground splinters, and it was fun to watch my husband's uncle try to get his head around the fact that I'm a *girl* and I carry a *knife*.</p> That screwdriver handle looks like it would make the wire cutter uncomfortable to use, and the box cutter looks very flimsy.
