    When the “Swiss Army Knife” could fit in a pocket and still be useful was replaced by a “Gerber/Leatherman Multitool” that has to be carried in a case on a belt because its bigger than a smart phone.

      where tf are you getting your giant multitools or tiny smartphones? every multitool i’ve ever had was pocketable and smaller than every smartphone i’ve had

      i never got one but i think the belt thing is more about weight because some people don’t like the uneven torque (besides larping and the 2% of facilities workers where the convenience matters)

        90% joke comment, comrade.

        But I have seen some pretty bulky Swiss Army knives and awkwardly large multitools over the years.
