The Tinker model comes with a can opener/small screwdriver, bottle opener/large screwdriver/wire-stripper, reamer, a toothpick, and tweezers. Huntsman, campers, and other people going on a picnic will need tweezers to pick out small stuff and toothpick to remove the little pieces of meat and food stuck between the teeth. Some people may not find these tools as necessary, but most outdoor enthusiasts who love to eat and drink away from the city and in nature will need them. On the other hand, the toothpick is a small plastic tool that is usually tan in color.

This will help the hook to have a firm hold on the surface and bear the weight of the smartphone. In the first position, you keep the phone supported on SAK, the opposite side of the hook. In this position, the hook might slip if the surface is smooth, unable to bear the weight of the phone. The hook, when opened all the way past 90 degrees, can be used to hold the SAK in a standing position. This can eliminate the need to carry around a separate mobile stand, in case you like watching movies on your smartphone this way.

Considering Leatherman has such a great collection of those flat bits, you can carry some of the bits along with you and use them with the multipurpose hook whenever the need arises. If you have those flat bits that come with some Leatherman tools, then you will be happy to know that those bits just fit in the SAK hook. Of course, it will not be as perfect as the Leatherman bit driver, but you can practically use the hook to drive in or drive out screws with the flat bit into the groove of the hook. Tent pegs are difficult to pull out, especially if you drive them deep into the ground.
