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. Multitools are more universal, providing tools for almost any need, on the dive boat or at home. Here are two of the best:
