Abstract
A multi-function tool includes a spring biased implement which can be stored within the handle of the multi-function tool when not in use. The implement includes first and second members pivotally attached at a pivot. The implement further includes a spring rotatably attached to an axle extending across a channel-shaped handle of the multi-function tool. The spring includes a first end attached to the first member of the implement and an arm which biases the second member away from the first member to an open working position.
