I keep a Leatherman Juice in my car. It has saved the day more than once.

I carry a Leatherman Blast everyday I am at work. Sometimes carry my Micra when I am out and about. I plan on buying a Supertool 300 to replace my Blast.

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

Always. Have some, prefer to carry a Victorinox Spirit or - jo kidding - a Spyderench. It´s a pretty good tool once you get used to it. For light duty EDC I carry one of my LM Juices or even a CRKT Zilla Jr. For Ultralight duty a Swiss+Tech Microtool.

YES!!! And, have been doing so since 1994. It all started with the original Leatherman Pocket Survival Tool. It was then superseded by the original Leatherman Super Tool.

Currently, the Leatherman Super Tool 200 is my main multitool. Accompanying the Super Tool 200 on my belt are the Leatherman Crunch and the original Leatherman Tool Adapter. Clipped to the rear of my LFP is the Leatherman Skeletool, and in my LFP is the Leatherman Micra along with an Imperial Boy Scouts pocket knife.

When I'm in uniform, I include a Leatherman Pulse or a Leatherman Super Tool 300 on my belt, depending on which one is in rotation. I've found having an extra set of full-size needle nose pliers to be quite handy.

At home - LeathermanJuice CS4
At work - Leatherman Wave Original and SAK Soldier
Out and about - Leatherman Charge and SAK

The one at work in the kitchen sees tons of use. I love the original Wave.

- best wishes, Jazz.

I use to carry one of those one handed Gerbers. I liked the replaceable carbide blade. I gave it to my dad. Usually I have a tool box or a bucket with an apron full of tools within an arms reach and a multitool isnt as universal for the tasks I need my tools for.

I carry the SOG Powerlock P62 when I'm wearing a jacket. Thanks to this thread I have bids on several multi-tools on ebay right now.

I have one of those too. Has come in handy a few times, lots of uses in a tiny package. The Swiss-tech company was originally based in my hometown, now they make everything in china.

I keep an original Leatherman in the car, a few Micras floating about, and have a couple old Gerber Multipliers around as well. Never carry them on my person though.

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

I always carry a multitool. Usually a Leatherman but SOG, Bear and Gerber get carried some also.

A Leatherman Wave (newer style) and a pocket widgey for working around the house.
A Leatherman Charge TTi and a Gerber Artifact for out and about.
a SOG Powerlock S60, a Victorinox ratchet, a GRS 1/2" wrench, and a 1/2" nut driver for when I'm at work.

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?
