A good pocket knife or multi-tool like a Letherman or Gerber. I always have a pocket knife on me and a multi-tool in my car. Either one gets used pretty much daily.

Knife: https://www.amazon.com/CIVIVI-Praxis-Flipper-Stonewashed-9Cr18MoV/dp/B08PF6NHLJ (there is a mini version of this if you like/need a smaller knife)

Multitool: https://www.amazon.com/Gerber-22-01471-Suspension-Multi-Plier/dp/B07DD69QN3/ref=sr_1_3?crid=L2L8RHSX7WGG&keywords=gerber%2Bsuspension%2Bmultitool&qid=1691155854&s=home-garden&sprefix=gerber%2Bsus%2Cgarden%2C84&sr=1-3&th=1

the only multi tool I need:

Looks like you sprung for the gold-plated one, fancy!

ha! I definitely should get an ornamental gold one, at this point.

I've used steel for a long time for the durability, but switched to a brass one for my current job. we have important stainless surfaces that need to stay polished and unmarred.

Can't upvote enough. My Leatherman gets used probably more than any tool I own. Anytime I'm fixing something whether it be the house, car, lawn equipment, the Leathermans always useful.
