10 Great Features of a Swiss Army Knife

The Swiss Army Knife has been one of the most important tools known to man and is used all over the world for a variety of reasons and applications. While many often are under the misconception that the tool is only used on fishing or camping trips, people use it throughout their daily events.
Some of the most general features of the Swiss Army Knife include blades, screwdrivers, scissors and pliers. However, as technology has become more developed, it has tailored to the needs of individuals and the features of a Swiss Army Knife have become more complex. Here are 10 unique features of a Swiss Army Knife.

1. Digital Clock – Helpful for keeping track of time while outdoors.
2. Sewing Eye – Having thread and a sewing eye may become incredibly helpful while away on a trip when repairing a hole in a tent or any type of fabric.
3. Can Opener – The compact-sized version in the Swiss Army Knife is more functional and a space saver.
4. LED Light – When compared to traditional light bulbs, LED lights use lowered amounts of energy and have a longer lifespan. It also eliminates the need for batteries for flashlights or a protective Storm Case.
5. Bit Wrench – In case the need arises, a Bit wrench and case is available to lock in screws and bolts without lugging around a large tool box.
6. Wire Cutter and Crimper – If wires ever need to be crossed while outdoors, these tools work perfectly while away from home. Wire strippers are also available on some designs.
7. Toothpick –The toothpick is also used as a sharp object to use in any occasion, along for taking food out of the teeth.
8. MP3 Player – This feature holds up to 1GB of storage space for playing music and can also play the radio and record voice.
9. USB Flash Drive – For those tech savvy outdoors men and women, flash drivers are useful to transfer or hold pictures, documents and other files from a computer.
10. Digital Altimeter – Helpful to hikers looking to scale trails and measure the altitude of an object from a fixed position.
