AFAIK, Having a knife in your car, even in the boot, counts as 'carrying it'.
So you can potentially be done for having a Leatherman multi-tool (with locking blade) in your car.
The question is what would count as a valid reason for 'carrying' it. Is simply 'keeping a few tools around in case of emergency' enough if you encounter a cop who's having a bad day?

It's the UK, not the US, we don't make a habit civil asset forfeiture stops to see if police want a free car in the first place. That excuse probably wouldn't get you anywhere if you walked around thrusting the pointiest blade of your Leatherman at everyone, or if each member of your gang had a sharp-bladed tool in their pocket just in case they needed it on the way to the neighbouring estate but "I might go to jail if the police find the toolbox in my car" is not a problem British people face.
