A multipurpose tool comprising: first and second handles configured for relative movement between a closed position and an open position; a plurality of tool members carried by and foldable into the first handle, wherein the first handle comprises an axle upon which the plurality of tool members are rotatably mounted, wherein the plurality of tool members comprise first and second tool members, each of which includes a cam member ; and a cam follower configured to engage the cam member of each of the first and second tool members during rotation of the first and second tool members relative to the first handle, characterized in that the cam member of the first tool member is different than the cam member of the second tool member such that the cam follower engages the cam member of the first tool member during opening of the first tool member upon rotation of the first tool member through a first incidence angle relative to the first handle and the cam follower engages the cam member of the second tool member during opening of the second tool member following rotation of the second tool member through a second incidence angle, different than the first incidence angle, relative to the first handle, wherein the cam members of the first and second tool members have a respective cam surface that interacts with the cam follower, wherein each cam surface has a spiral shape with a radius from the axle to the cam surface that increases in a circumferential direction about the cam surface, and wherein the radius of each cam surface increases from a portion of the respective cam surface with which the cam follower is proximate in an instance in which a respective one of the first or second tool members is in a closed position to a portion of the respective cam surface with which the cam follower is proximate in an instance in which the respective one of the first or second tool members is in an open position. first and second handles configured for relative movement between a closed position and an open position; a plurality of tool members carried by and foldable into the first handle, wherein the first handle comprises an axle upon which the plurality of tool members are rotatably mounted, wherein the plurality of tool members comprise first and second tool members, each of which includes a cam member ; and a cam follower configured to engage the cam member of each of the first and second tool members during rotation of the first and second tool members relative to the first handle, characterized in that the cam member of the first tool member is different than the cam member of the second tool member such that the cam follower engages the cam member of the first tool member during opening of the first tool member upon rotation of the first tool member through a first incidence angle relative to the first handle and the cam follower engages the cam member of the second tool member during opening of the second tool member following rotation of the second tool member through a second incidence angle, different than the first incidence angle, relative to the first handle, wherein the cam members of the first and second tool members have a respective cam surface that interacts with the cam follower, wherein each cam surface has a spiral shape with a radius from the axle to the cam surface that increases in a circumferential direction about the cam surface, and wherein the radius of each cam surface increases from a portion of the respective cam surface with which the cam follower is proximate in an instance in which a respective one of the first or second tool members is in a closed position to a portion of the respective cam surface with which the cam follower is proximate in an instance in which the respective one of the first or second tool members is in an open position. <EOS>
