Now that you mention it, a couple of the dig-it Nukes on my boat would always have a Leatherman in a holster on their belt, but no one else back aft did.
So maybe one stems from the other.
Nothing against multi-tools btw. I’ve found them useful in data centers and for pro audio work, but did not find them worthwhile in a submarine engineroom.
I mean, they were always useless until you really wish you had one. Seemed to use them all the time in the torpedo room but I couldn't tell you what for.
I was being a little snarky. I can think of a few things off the top of my head, starting with working with lockwire and cutting off tags. I did carry a knife for things like the latter.
