Foldable tool with single beam construction

A combination tool, comprising:

• a single elongate body member;
• a first pin having a cantilevered portion supported by and extending in a substantially transverse direction away from said single elongate body member;
• a first plurality of tools pivotally supported in adjacent relation on said cantilevered portion such that said first plurality of tools are movable about said cantilevered portion between a working position and a folded position;
• at least one biasing member supported on said cantilevered portion;
• a head secured at a free end of said cantilevered portion and disposed so as to cause said at least one biasing member to bias individual tools of said first plurality of tools in frictional engagement, thereby minimizing movement of said individual tools in said transverse direction.

A combination tool, comprising:

• a singular elongate body member having a first side, an opposing second side, a length defined by a first end and a second end;
• a first cantilevered pin supported by said singular elongated body member having an unsupported free end with at least a portion of said first cantilevered pin cantilevered outwardly extending substantially transverse from said first side;
• at least one first tool formed from bar stock bent at one end to form a loop through which said first cantilevered pin is received such that said at least one first tool is pivotally disposed on said first cantilevered pin between said unsupported free end and said first side and pivotal between a working position and a folded position;
• a second cantilevered pin supported by said singular elongated body member having an unsupported free end with at least a portion of said second cantilevered pin cantilevered outwardly extending substantially transverse from said second side;
• at least one second tool formed from bar stock bent at one end to form a loop through which said second cantilevered pin is received such that said at least one second tool is pivotally disposed on said second cantilevered pin between said unsupported free end and said second side and pivotal between a working position and a folded position;
• and
• wherein said first cantilevered pin and said second cantilevered pin are different portions of a single pin extending through said singular elongate body member.

A combination tool, comprising:

• a singular elongate body member having a first side and an opposing second side and a length defined by a first end and a second end;
• a first cantilevered pin supported by said singular elongated body member having an unsupported free end with at least a portion of said first cantilevered pin cantilevered outwardly extending substantially transverse to said singular elongate body member on said first side and proximate said first end;
• at least one first tool formed from bar stock bent at one end to form a loop through which said first cantilevered pin is received such that said at least one first tool is pivotally supported on said first cantilevered pin between said unsupported free end and said first side and pivotal between a working position and a folded position;
• a second cantilevered pin supported by said singular elongated body member having an unsupported free end with at least a portion of said second cantilevered pin cantilevered outwardly extending substantially transverse to said elongate body member on said first side and proximate said second end;
• at least one second tool formed from bar stock bent at one end to form a loop through which said second cantilevered pin is received such that said at least one second tool is pivotally supported on said second cantilevered pin between said unsupported free end and said first side and pivotal between a working position and a folded position.
