The six features are:

• side-cutting electrician pliers. According to Popular Mechanics, “Cut into both its jaws is a heavy-duty cross hatching that grips with a vengeance.” That is, powerful pliers, and

• gas shut-off wrench – and on the same handle

• a pry bar.

• On the opposite handle, a spanner wrench and

• a glass punch for breaking through car windows
