The new [LEGO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/functional-microscope) Multi-Tool is a LEGO set that is made by a fan currently in the Ideas forum for the company with votes from the community that supports the idea. It is styled to look like a [Victorinox Swiss Army tool](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/victorinox-pocketknives) and has some usable tools including a brick separator, magnifying glass, Technic axle, and more.

Tall Brick Guy notes that the set is “Inspired by the variety of [multi-tools available in everyday life](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multitool-designs), I decided to create one designed specifically for LEGO fans. Of course, the most important tool in any LEGO builder’s arsenal is the Brick Separator, and so I began working on a way to incorporate this classic, although oddly shaped, piece into a compact, functional build.”
