Abstract: A foldable hand tool is provided with a retractable tether having a fixed end attached to a retractor assembly. The foldable hand tool includes at least one tool pivotally coupled to a handle assembly. The retractor assembly is coupled at the pivot point of the foldable tool. The retractable tether runs in a channel inside the handle assembly to eliminate tether damage from a stowed tool. When the free end of the tether is attached to an anchor point on a support structure or an article of clothing or equipment worn by a user, the retractable tether limits the distance that the foldable hand tool may extend away from the user.

Abstract: A multi-purpose folding tool which features inwardly tapered handles to provide external plier jaw storage, thereby leaving greater room for supplemental tool storage inside the handles, a box-beam handle construction for greater strength, downwardly opening handles to facilitate ease of use, a unique supplemental tool locking and release mechanism, and laminated plier jaws which are riveted together for even greater strength and overall integrity.
