It just wasn't much help on old hotel plumbing and his unreliable car. What he really needed was a compact pocket knife with full-size pliers, but no such tool existed. When I returned to the United States, I went to work in my garage and started designing a new kind of tool one that would replace the knife with something more useful. Tim spent the next eight years using his engineering background to design such a tool. It is the only folding tool on the market that offers locking pliers.
All interior blades lock as well.
Each opens individually, locks positively in place, and is unlocked by a push button mechanism. The new Flair introduces a feature that has often been requested, but does it better than you thought possible. The corkscrew on Flair includes a professional-style assist for more effective bottle opening. It's the first of its kind on a multi-purpose tool or knife. Plus, a spreader knife and a cocktail fork make this a great tool to have along for picnicking or lunch on the go.
