Omni-tools

Omni-tools are multipurpose diagnostic and minifacturing tools used for a variety of battlefield tasks, such as hacking, decryption, or repair. They are equipped by Engineers, Sentinels, and Infiltrators to make use of their tech talents. When equipped, an omni-tool appears over a person's left hand and forearm as an orange hologram. Presumably, an omni-tool could be reconfigured to appear over the right hand for a left-handed user, but all omni-tools shown in game are on the user's left hand.

Omni-tools are handheld devices that combine a computer microframe, sensor analysis pack, and minifacturing fabricator. Versatile and reliable, an omni-tool can be used to analyze and adjust the functionality of most standard equipment, including weapons and armor, from a distance.

The fabrication module can rapidly assemble small three-dimensional objects from common, reusable industrial plastics, ceramics, and light alloys. This allows for field repairs and modifications to most standard items, as well as the reuse of salvaged equipment.

Omni-tools are standard issue for soldiers and first-in colonists.

In addition to the standard classes, squadmates Tali'Zorah nar Rayya, Garrus Vakarian and Liara T'Soni may make use of an omni-tool.

Trivia

 * In the PC version, certain omni-tools may be found which contain no manufacturer. Though tools have no description or name aside from their grade, they belong to the Polaris manufacturer.
