Multi tools

[Agent_Ohm]

A P60 SOG Powerlock and a Crank Bros. multi-tool for the bike on the way.

you will not be dissapointed with crank bros. their build quality is superb. I have used their pedals for two seasons now and love them :cool:

[undrtw]

I voted carry one all the time. (More accurate would be carry one while on the clock)

SOG Power Assist B66-N every day at work for me. 2 associates instantly upgraded their cheaper Leatherman and bought the same after fondling my SOG. The assisted opening blades seem to be a big hit.

I pretty much only use it for the pliers, stripper, crimp and blades.

Best price I've found has been Amazon:

I only started carring one last week but its been with me everyday. I got a leatherman Charge TTI for the Bday and I just love it. Cant believe I haven't had one in over 20yrs. I'm sure it will be with me for years to come. I have used it much more than I ever thought I would.

Sequimite, I'm not too familiar with SOG's naming scheme, but I've never heard of a P62. Don't the Powerlock's use S, B and T?

These may be old discontinued models. I think the only difference is that the P60 has scissors and the P62 has a seatbelt cutter. I'm not on top of the current model numbers.

Multitools... well I never really use them even if I've had one near by. I always have the right tools on hand.

I carry this every day. It is thrilling to use (if you own one, you understand exactly what I mean!)

Where can these be picked up?


I have a verying collection of multi-tools. A few Gerbers, Leathermans, and some no names.

Even the no names as cheap as they are have their uses.

I usually always have my backpack with me, Gerber. I mainly use it for the pliers or scissors. I have an EDC to cut with!

I'm one of the "Never carry one" answers. :)

I just don't see a need.

I've got a leatherman juice that stays in my car all the time, and I still carry an original leatherman quite often....it's old, but still has the basics

I carry an older Leatherman Wave when I am on duty along with a Para.

Hi:

I lug the Leatherman Charge Ti. I mainly use the screwdrivers. It complements the Paramilitary D2 pretty well.

I sometimes carry the Leatherman Skeletool when I want to go light.

[2cha]

Don't carry on belt or pocket ever. Have at least one in every vehicle and a couple "pre need replacements." Whenever I have a pack or bag and am not flying, I also carry. Favorite is Leatherman Crunch--although mine is currently AWOL (I have two pre teen sons,....). Vise-grip like pliers are so beyond most else out there. I was a huge fan of the original Wave and also vehemently dislike the flat bits. Yuck. Bits that I can't replace at any hardware store are a complete waste for me. I have a USA Spyderench that I don't carry, but I think it is the absolute coolest ever made.

"Keep one at home"

make that "keep one in the car".


Leatherman original Super Tool, big brother of the PST, still with the old school leather pouch. From '96 or '97 AFAIR, I'd have to go to my car and check the handle to make sure :)
It is still one of the "old", all metal, no-fuss, pretty heavy, indestructable multitools that made Leatherman what it is nowadays. Good enough for me!

Use it every now and then, not too often, but I am glad I have it when I do need it then.

SOG Powerlock with a Fenix AA light in a Leatherman combo sheath daily. Powerlock is the first one I haven't broken beyond repair (but it is not from a lack of trying).

[dsmegst]

I also have the original Leatherman supertool. I've been thinking about getting a newer sexier models but this thing just won't quit. It's been going strong for over 10 years and there're a few things I had to fix. I broke the small flat head bit so I reground it, the wire cutter part is a bit chewed up and the knife was resharpened a few times. Not bad at all.

I would love to edc a multitool. but they are all to heavy.

leatherman charge TTI

[RockyMatt]

I an EDC type roll, I like lightweight. I find the screwdrivers are the the part of a multi-tool I personally use the most so I usually carry a lightweight Alox Victorinox along with another folder with a 3" or less blade. (usually Spyderco).

If Spyderco came out with a lightweight pocket sized Multi-Tool / Swiss Army style knife I think it would be a big hit.

Maybe something like a thinner, lighter version of the Leatherman Expanse e33T with G10 slabs or possibly something about the size of the Urban Slipit with a fold out screwdriver, maybe a bottle opener too... with a Bryd Wings style fold out.

As long as it was kept fairly thin and lightweight I'd be all over it.

[FIMS]

You need to add an "In my kit bag" option.

[THG]

I've been pondering the idea of getting the TTi with the S30V blade and replacing my dedicated knife altogether. Is the blade on the TTi good enough to do that? (My assumption is automatically "no," but I've gotta ask...)

What do and don't you like about it?
