ABSTRACT:
A multi-tool includes a handle having a blade that is rotatable between open and closed positions by at least one blade rotation member mounted on the side of the handle and includes an internal socket located in the handle opposite the blade end, where the socket is adapted to removably receive various tool implements. The tool implements are held in locked engagement with the handle by a cantilevered tool lock located on the handle. The blade includes two locking recesses adapted to receive a locking member mounted to a cantilevered blade lock that extends longitudinally along the handle such that the blade is securely locked in either an open or closed position. The blade rotation members rotate a cam that disengages the blade lock from the blade and imparts rotational motion to the blade by way of a drive pin located on the blade.
