The sourcing and maintenance of 20 different single tools can be time-consuming. A vast majority of EDC multitools are much more affordable in comparison to the cumulative cost of buying a single tool for 10 to 20 different functions, as well as a toolbox or tool belt to carry them all in.
It does away with the frustrating need to keep up with the storage location of separate tools. EDC multi-tools bring together most of your much-needed tools in one place. This helps to save on physical space in comparison to owning separate normal-sized tools. The essence of every EDC multitool is to combine multiple functions into one item.
