Multi tools

[SaturnNyne]

I guess I carry one all the time, I keep a LM Squirt E4 (as well as a County Comm pry bar) in my little pouch of "just in case" gear. If I have a larger bag with me, I usually also have a Victorinox Climber Deluxe in there, which has many of the same tools but is a little bit sturdier. If I'm carrying a big bag/backpack, I'm likely to have my original LM SuperTool. So it may be tiny or it may be large, but I almost always have one somewhere within reach. Honestly though, I rarely use them; I do precious little that requires more than just my knife.

I carry a SAK One-Handed Trekker all the time. Leatherman Skeletool is in my glovebox.

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?

I would say yes and no it really depends on your preference i like to have a knife on me (spyderco Only)

Always have a LM Squirt EL on my right hip. Always have a flashlight on my left hip too.

Swisstech 4-1 screwz-all on my ID for work.
Have a Juice S2 in my drawer at work
Have a vnox cybertool 29 by my chair at home

Folks only look at me odd until I'm doing something for them and need my tools.

I'm a huge multitool fan. My favourite so far is the SwissTool Spirit with the additional ratchet and corkscrew. It's got all the tools I need. If I'm only carrying one item, that's the ST Spirit.

I also use a Leatherman Charge Tti quite often, I like it but I really have no need for a one hand opening S30V blade on my multitool. I don't think I've ever relied on a multitool as my main knife, and I often carry them in my backpack so super-quick blade opening is not an important feature. It's also missing an awl, which I use a lot.

I've recently added a Leatherman Juice CS4 to my multitool collection and like it a lot. I pocket carry it when I'm not carrying my backpack and don't want a bulky tool on my belt (not a fan of belt sheaths).

SAKs are an addiction of mine, I always have one on me. I tend to go for the medium sized models like the Electrician Plus, Farmer, Hunstman or Tinker. They offer a good size to tool ratio and can handle most of my daily needs.

My knife addiction started with SAKs and an Alox Cadet is part of my EDC rotation. I have an original Wave in my car and keep the Charge TTi at home.

Been carrying a Leatherman Wave for about a year now everyday, and I wouldn't have it any other way. It's come in handy more times than I can remember, don't think I could go without some kind of MT on my person now!

[Seanski]

I collect them, so I've got about 25 or so, leatherman, gerber, sog, swiss, etc. I usually carry around my Leatherman P4 daily and a knife.

I always carry a SAK, plus a one-handed locking folder. I use the toothpick the most often on my Tinker, but the screwdrivers also get a lot of use, more than the blades. The big blade is reserved for food use, as I have the other folder for general severing duty. Victorinox makes very useful tools for an amazing low price. I've carried one since I was 13, and sharpened my own since then, too.

I also have a Wave in the car or backpack. Too heavy for EDC.

[c.joe]

I keep a leatherman in my car in case of emergency but I never EDC it since it's so bulky. Yes I know I can put it in a pouch and attach it to my belt but I was never too fond of pouches.

[Creepo]

I always have a Leatherman Charge TTi in my backpack, If I feel I might need it I put it on my belt. I seriously need A Squirt (waiting for the new PS4 with scissors and pliers) or a SAK on my keys, but then my Ladybug has to go.

[PolishSumgai]

EDC rotation is: Spyderench TO1P and TO1S ( both made in USA ), SOG Toolclip, SOG Powerlock (EOD) - 3 different modified models, SOG Pocket PowerPlier modified with pocket clip.

[quattrokid73]

Call me the odd one out, but I use this SAK (forget model name) as my multi-tool.



It's got great pliers, screwdrivers, blades, awl. More useful for everyday fixing, but less robust for sure. I just don't like the size and weight of multi tools. That said, I do want to add one to my collection soon. Waiting for the new Leatherman gun-cleaning multi tool to come out.
