===Multi-use tools===
{{main|Multi-tool}}
A multi-tool is a hand tool that incorporates several tools into a single, portable device; the [[Swiss Army knife]] represents one of the earliest examples.<ref>{{cite web |title=The History of Multi-Tools |url=https://gallantry.com/blogs/journal/the-history-of-multi-tools# |website=Gallantry |access-date=31 August 2023 |language=en-us |date=11 August 2016}}</ref> Other tools have a primary purpose but also incorporate other functionality – for example, [[lineman's pliers]] incorporate a gripper and cutter and are often used as a hammer;<ref name="auto"/> and some [[hand saw]]s incorporate a [[Square (tool)|square]] in the right-angle between the blade's dull edge and the saw's handle. This would also be the category of "multi-purpose" tools, since they are also multiple tools in one (multi-use and multi-purpose can be used interchangeably – compare [[hand axe]]). These types of tools were specifically made to catch the eye of many different craftsman who traveled to do their work. To these workers these types of tools were revolutionary because they were one tool or one device that could do several different things. With this new revolution of tools, the traveling craftsman would not have to carry so many tools with them to job sites, in that their space would be limited to the vehicle or to the beast of burden they were driving. Multi-use tools solve the problem of having to deal with many different tools.
