At the homestead one Saturday, I’d finally grown tired of the overgrown shrubbery in the front yard, and the time for trimming and clearing out weeds that didn’t belong there was long overdue.

Multi Tools tend to come in a limited number of categories, starting with totally useless (and I have a couple of those), to WOW, how did I EVER live my life without this?
