A toolbox in your pocket!

Multitools have proven itself more and more over time. They are an inseparable companion of every busy man and woman, and they can be carried everywhere on a belt or in a bag. A multitool is especially effective when on the move, because you never know when you will need to cut through an obstructing wire or saw a branch.

At the same time, the multitool is also an inseparable companion at home, as it contains as many as three different screwdrivers, plus pliers and even a can and bottle opener.

Mil-Tec’s Black Cobra Multitool includes 9 full-size tools. Its body is made of lightweight aluminium with a non-reflective black oxide finish, and the included tools are made of high-quality 2CR13 steel.

Cobra’s main strength is its powerful spring-loaded pliers with an integrated wire cutter that can be deployed quickly. All 9 tools are easy to use but lock firmly, ensuring safe and secure use. At the same time, the tools can be easily folded again with just one press of the clamp.

The multitool is reliable, but still needs a little maintenance

Multitools are very reliable, but what works will inevitably wear out. Maintain your tool consistently so that it is always sharp and ready for use. Here we’ll share some tricks for this.

Cleanliness

A clean tool prevents awkward situations. Make sure that there is no sand, earth or other dirt between the moving parts of the tool. Compressed air is ideal for cleaning the small parts of the multitool, but a cloth and, if necessary, a wooden toothpick are also helpful.

Rust

Despite the fact that multitools are made of stainless steel, they are not corrosion-resistant. Corrosion-resistant steel could not be sharpened for the tools, so it is not suitable for making tools with blades.

However, this does not mean that rust will develop quickly. If you clean the tool immediately after use and after contact with salt and acids, nothing will happen. So, for example, after a fishing trip at sea or after cutting a tree branch with acidic sap, be sure to wash the tool thoroughly with fresh water.

Keep the moving parts of the multitool moving smoothly

In order for the moving parts movable even after prolonged use, it is worth treating them with some lubricating oil from time to time. You can also put the same oil on a cloth and clean off any corrosion stains you notice.
