Compact "cutter" for dealing with overgrown paths.

[qska]

Hi,

I one of the threads I saw somebody mention a compact, folding tool thingy, with a nice small scissor tool - ideal to use on overgrown bridleways, to get rid of these bramble branches that go across the whole path...

But I can't find it now!

Added bonus would be, if it also included normal bike tools - any recommendations?

I'm not interested in taking our garden tools with us on bike rides though, so needs to be small!

Thanks

I'm not a cyclist but I always take a pair of secateurs on walks for the reasons you describe.

When I go on long walks I'm a bit anal about weight, so I bought a pair of child's secateurs from the garden centre I work at, which are tiny!

140g, not too bad...

I'd never carry any blade or pointed object if cycling.
One decent off and Murphy's law says you'll be pulling it out of you...

If I come across some brambles I'll test it out for you, but this lives on my key ring - and no risk of being on the receiving end of it:

Weighs nothing and takes up no space. I mostly use it for opening packages and as a 'just in case' seatbelt cutter. May work for you.

It's folded, on the bottom of my backpack, possibly also in a carry case.

Surrounded by other items, quite unlikely that it'd unfold on its own
