Totally got it—it's "MULTIFUNCTIONAL"! Honestly, if I could only bring one thing (well, besides chocolate), a multifunctional tool would be my pick every time. I once tried to open a stubborn jar with mine and ended up impressing my neighbor instead of breaking the jar, so clearly it's practical *and* makes you look cool. Does anyone else have a multitool they swear by, or am I the only one who keeps

You nailed it with “multifunctional”! I keep a multitool in my garden bag and honestly, it’s saved me from more than one pickle—literally and figuratively. Last spring, I used it to fix a stubborn hose nozzle, unscrew a mystery bolt from the chicken coop, AND open a can of beans for lunch, all in the same morning. It’s got more talents than my nephew at his school talent show.

And you’re definitely not alone—mine’s become almost as essential as my reading glasses, which is saying a lot. I keep thinking I should get one of those keychain-sized ones, but knowing my luck, I’d probably end up trying to plant seeds with it or stir my tea (don’t ask).

Has anyone actually used the fish scaler or the tiny saw on theirs? I always wonder if those things are just for show or if I’m missing out on some wild multitool magic.
