Multi tools
Do you guys carry a multi tool? If so what kind.
Always. Leatherman Blast.
I've had it for 1 year and 5 months now, and I don't know how I ever got around without it. I keep it at the bottom of my pocket. It's not even noticeable. An SAK just doesn't do it for me; I need the pliers. And then there's the quick-measurement ruler, screwdrivers (which are more solid than the ones in a SAK, imo), the file, the skinny screwdriver bit as a toothpick lol
But yeah, one of the most useful purchases I've ever made.

I do carry the leatherman supertool 200. i've had this for a long time(5 years) and never carried it. Now when I started to carry a knife, some of my multitool people friends kept on saying that it was all I'll even need. it got so tiring that I I gave it a try. I've not had a chance to use it yet, but I'm getting to hate the multi tool people saying it's all I'll need. carrying my spyderco isn't a need, it's a want. so there!

I decided not to vote because sometimes I carry one all the time, and sometimes I leave it @ home...sometimes it just gets carried @ work, etc. I'm not sure where to place a vote lol. The one I go with allways is my Leatherman Charge TTI :eek: :D :cool:

My EDC is a knife, a yo-yo, a cell phone, a wallet, keys, and a magnesium fire tool on the extreme off-chance I need fire. I used to carry a multitool, but really, I never needed all the extra stuff. But the blade I needed all the time, and it was just a hassle to get to and use on a multitool.
So I keep my leatherman at home. And if I need a screwdriver or pliers, I usually just reach for... a screwdriver or pliers.
I'm not saying they're not useful, just that I never had much of a use for them. I'll throw it in my yo-yo case, and when I'm out hanging with other yo-yo enthusiasts, the pliers come in handy, and the knife is good for cutting string. But yo-yoers are fewer and farther between than hard core knife collectors.

When I was working, I kept a Schrade multi-tool in my desk at work. Took up less space than a bunch of separate tools and came in handy a fair number of times. Now that I'm retired it mostly stays at home, but I carry it occasionally when hiking. But I don't really use it around the apartment, I have better tools here.

Carry one all the time. I have a Leatherman Wave in my fat boy. I have needed it more times than I can imagine. The other day someones eye glasses fell apart and the small screw driver fixed them right up.

My Multi tool of choice
Well I carry a Leatherman Crunch, the adjustable locking wrench in my opinion is one of the best you can get, also folds away into a nice little leather pouch, cool little tool.
