What is this thing on my multi-tool?

I have a similar Gerber multi-tool and am camping right now with some friends and while using it I noticed the little circle thing (shown on the far right of that pic)..
What the fuck is that used for?  Thanks

I don't know but if it stayed out with everything else closed up I'd use it as for clipping it to things. Like the little loops you find on the handles of some fixed blade knives. It's whatever you want it to be dog..

Right, I'm just saying if you could keep it out by itself which I'm sure you can. I don't know, that's the first thing that comes to mind that I'd use it for..

Does pulling it out cause any other tools to pop up?
I have a little metal tab on my multi tool that when pulled, fans out all the tools for you so you don't kill your fingernails in a tiny ass groove.

The little titty is so you can open paint cans or similar lids. It gives the loop grip as you crank the lid up.

Wooord. My leatherman has a sheath, with a belt loop so I'm pretty sure there's no lanyard ring on mine.

That one isn't military issue. The one in the OP pic is. There like $45 at army surplus. Or $20 at a flea market.

That's not actually the one I have, I just googled Leatherman sheath to post an example with it.
Pretty sure mines not military issue anyways either.

It's so you can drop a bead of water on it and start a fire on a sunny day like a magnifying glass.

I thought a tool to cut cord or rope. But there is no edge.
-------------------- I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
