I started to post this under the other "Most Innovative Multi-Tool Company" thread, but decided it's different enough to justify its own.
What multi-tool features do you consider to be the most innovative?
There are two obvious classics:
1) The concept of building tools, not just blades, into a multi-bladed pocket knife.
2) Folding pliers.
Personally, I considered it a stroke of genius when I first saw a plier-type multi-tool with the fold-out tools on the outside of the handles. It makes them more accessible while, at the same time, allowing for a more comfortable plier grip. It still puzzles me that anyone persists in putting them on the inside (including my favorite, the SOG PowerLock).
So what feature has impressed you the most?
