Abstract: A pocket tool with a housing body with two oppositely lying side faces bounding at least certain regions thereof, and at least one housing area between the side faces, and an implement displaceable out of a stowed position inside the housing area and an operating position outside the housing area. The displaceable implement has a housing case with two oppositely lying side walls extending substantially parallel to and spaced apart from the side faces, and slim faces extending between the side walls, and at least one electrical lighting means provided on the housing case. The lighting means is provided on a side-end first slim face of the housing case remote from the housing body. An axis of symmetry of a beam emitted by the lighting means and a plane oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the pocket tool subtend an angle which is freely adjustable. The invention further relates to a switch connecting mechanism for a switch contact in an implement of the pocket tool.
