Multi-tool

In our club we've got a variety of nuts for our epee and foil grips (okay so the nut actually goes on the threaded end of the blad and I'm sure there's a name for it, I just don't know it). I was curious if there was a tool out there that had an outside hex, inside hex, and a flat tip (slot) screwdriver all in one. It'd be better if it folded up like a gerber or leatherman. Has anyone seen anything like this?

I was also thinking that while we're at it, why not just make one multi tool for all aspects of weapon maintanence. Seems like most of them should be able to be incorporated into a single "swiss army knife" for fencing weapons... thoughts?

I've seen something kludged together before... it was made of one of those allen wrench sets that folds in upon itself, it had the inside hex and the outside hex... not sure about the screwdriver. I'm not sure where it came from, but if anyone were to be able to help you on this, it would probably be Bill Hall. Send him an e-mail and see what he has to say ( fencerbill@aol.com )

It came from Bill. he made it himself. It does have the screwdriver, as well.

Bill's got a ton of Neat Stuff (tm)
I particularly like his film case / blade bending utility.

An easy way to make something that has just the outside and inside hex is to take a Prieur outside hex wrench and a sufficiently long 6 mm 'L' hex key, cut away and remove the t-handle from the Prieur wrench, then slide the hex key into it's place (with a dab of epoxy or even just a rubber band placed around the hex key to keep it from sliding out).
