the coupling interface has a second interlocking portion which corresponds to the first interlocking portion of the adaptor interface, whereby the adaptor interface and the coupling interface being releasably interlocking with one another.

8 . The combination tool attachment system of claim 1 , wherein

the adaptor channel and adaptor interface are sized with respect to one another with a ratio relating the cross-sectional diameter and the adaptor width, and the ratio facilitates rotating, pivoting, tilting, and sliding of the ring connector with respect to the body shaft.

9 . The combination tool attachment system of claim 1 , wherein

the adaptor channel has an adaptor channel height which is equal to a body shaft height, an adaptor channel length which is less than a body shaft length, and an adaptor channel width which is less than a body shaft width and greater than an adaptor interface width.

10 . The combination tool attachment system of claim 1 , wherein

the first and second margin portions have incongruent first and second lengths, and the first and second lengths are both greater than a reaching length of the ring connector.

11 . The combination tool attachment system of claim 1 wherein the adaptor channel has a height equal to a height of the body shaft of the combination tool.

12 . The combination tool attachment system of claim 1 wherein the adaptor channel has a height less than a height of the body shaft of the combination tool.

13 . The combination tool attachment system of claim 1 wherein the at least one adaptor channel has a height less than a height of the body shaft of the combination tool; and is a branching adaptor channel having at least one interior channel branch extending lengthwise along the body shaft of the combination tool.

14 . A combination tool attachment system comprising:

a combination tool having:

opposed first and second working ends having opposed first and second neck portions, respectively;

a body shaft extending between the first and second neck portions, the body shaft having first and second margin portions and a middle portion therebetween, the first and second margin portions adjacent the first and second neck portions, respectively; and

at least one adaptor channel extending lengthwise along the body shaft between the first and second margin portions; and

a ring connector having:

an adaptor interface interacting with the at least one adaptor channel; and

a coupling interface at least partially defining an include with a diameter of a size sufficient to interconnect with a lanyard fastener;

wherein first and second margin portion lengths of the body shaft are both greater than a reaching length of the ring connector.

15 . A combination tool attachment system comprising:

a combination tool comprising:

a body shaft having: a first margin portion formed adjacent a first end of the body shaft, a second margin portion formed on adjacent an opposite second end of the body shaft, and a middle portion formed between the first margin portion and the second margin portion;

at least one elongated adaptor channel being formed along the middle portion of the body shaft, between the first margin portion and the second margin portion, the at least one elongated adaptor channel having: a first channel end adjacent the first margin portion, and a second channel end adjacent the second margin portion;
