The Best of Everything Gear Guide 2003: Dive Tools
Tighten, loosen, pick or pry--when you're on the go, you need a tool for the task at hand. Scuba tools sport Swiss army knife-style bodies into which are folded a bevy of wrenches and drivers designed specifically to keep you from being left high and dry when you're supposed to be diving.
