The opposing ends are rotated 90° from each other. A first set of tool drivers is positioned on/near a first end and rotates about a first hinge; a second set of tool drivers is positioned on/near a second end and rotates about a second hinge. A first portion of the first set opens in a direction counter to an open direction of a second portion of the first set of tool drivers. A first portion of the second set opens in a direction counter to an open direction of a second portion of the second set of tool drivers. When tool drivers are in an open position, internal stops prevent the tool drivers from opening past a predetermined angle. The tool drivers are contained within channels of the body when in a closed position. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A utility tool comprising: a. a first end comprising a first hinge and one or more tool drivers configured to rotate about the first hinge in a plurality of different directions; and b. a second end comprising a second hinge non-parallel to the first hinge and one or more tool drivers configured to rotate about the second hinge. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The utility tool of claim 1 wherein the one or more tool drivers of the first end and the one or more tool drivers of the second end are grouped according to size. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The utility tool of claim 1 wherein the tool comprises an internal stop configured to prevent the one or more tool drivers of the first end and the one or more tool drivers of the second end from opening past an angle. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The utility tool of claim 1 wherein the second hinge is rotated 90° in orientation from the first hinge. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The utility tool of claim 1 wherein the one or more tool drivers of the first end and the one or more tool drivers of the second end are stored in one or more channels of the utility tool when not in use. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The utility tool of claim 1 wherein the first end and the second end each comprise one or more tool drivers on a first side and a second side opposite the first side. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The utility tool of claim 6 wherein the tool drivers of the first side and the one or more tool drivers of the second side open in opposite directions. ### Claim 8 A utility tool comprising: a. a first end and a second end; b. a first hinge coupled to the first end; c. a second hinge non-parallel to the first hinge coupled to the second end; d. a first tool driver configured to rotate to an open position about the first hinge; e. a second tool driver configured to rotate to an open position about the first hinge and in an opposite direction from the first tool driver; and f. a third tool driver configured to rotate to an open position about the second hinge. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The utility tool of claim 8 wherein the tool drivers are grouped according to size. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The utility tool of claim 8 wherein the tool comprises an internal stop configured to prevent the tool drivers from opening past an angle. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The utility tool of claim 8 wherein the tool drivers are stored within one or more channels when not in use. ### Claim 12 A utility tool comprising: a. a body comprising a first end, a second end and a plurality of sides; b. a first channel and a second channel each holding one or more rotatable tool drivers, and wherein the first channel and the second channel are on opposite sides of the first end; and c. a third channel non-parallel to the first channel and the second channel, the third channel holding one or more third channel rotatable tool drivers. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The utility tool of claim 12 wherein the one or more rotatable tool drivers of the first channel and the one or more rotatable tool drivers of the second channel are configured to rotate in opposite directions to an operative position. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The utility tool of claim 13 wherein the one or more rotatable tool drivers of the first channel and the one or more rotatable tool drivers of the second channel rotate about a same first hinge. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The utility tool of claim 14 comprising a second hinge non-parallel to the first hinge and one or more tool drivers configured to rotate about the second hinge. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The utility tool of claim 15 wherein the second hinge is rotated 90° in orientation from the first hinge. ### Claim 17 (depends on 12) The utility tool of claim 12 wherein the tool drivers are grouped according to size. ### Claim 18 (depends on 12) The utility tool of claim 12 wherein the tool comprises an internal stop configured to prevent the tool drivers from opening past an angle.
