The traditional multi-tools are too bulky for my taste, but I leave one in my sxs glovebox.

I carry a skeletool daily along with a rechargeable penlight.

As a helicopter mechanic I often needed a screwdriver to open panels, and a pocket knife to open packages.
The Skeletool is light weight, has a belt/pocket clip, one hand deployable blade, and an almost one hand deployable screwdriver bit.

I used to carry an original Leatherman and then the Wave but they banned most types of blades on most industrial construction sites around here. I gave my daughter the Wave and the original sits in my truck.
I also have a Gerber that I put in my wife's SUV. I just used it yesterday trying to get into one of those
F*cking blister packs while in her car. I ended up leaking blood and it wasn't caused by the Gerber.

Okay, I expected you to need a blade a lot On a construction site. I use my blade a lot in an office... Mostly because almost no one else has one so they always try to use mine. And that's why I keep a loaner piece of **** knife at the office.

The big sites pretty much made you use retractable safety blades along with wearing Kevlar sleeves and gloves. 100% pain in the ***. I did sneak using a fixed blade quite often but a multitool was more of a hassle. I always had my helper looking out for the Safety Warden.

My father, a doctor, who they loved having on some oversight boards because he was a guy who could get along with anyone. Said that for every absolutely super stupid rule they had, he could tell you exactly who caused that rule to be put in place.

I'm not saying their rule is stupid, but someone was probably injured,... And that really *****.

I have this exact tool, and carry it more or less every day. To me, this is the perfect form factor. It's about the same size as a large pocket knife, is lightweight, and has exactly the tools I've found most useful - a knife, a flathead/philips screwdriver, pliers, and a bottle opener. Built in pocket clip that works.

The knife on this exact model is 154CM steel, which is a big step up from the usual Leatherman knife blades.

But the real plus for me is the carabiner clip - you can clip it to a belt loop (or a bag or backpack) instead of a pocket. The carabiner is extremely secure, I haven't lost mine despite carrying it for years.

This is also the tool to get IMO if you go backpacking. You can clip it to your pack and it won't take up much weight.

I'm a Leatherman partisan because they're (still!) manufactured in my home town. But even so, with a half dozen multitools the Skeletool is the only one I actually carry all the time. I though it looked dumb when I first saw it, but it's become my favorite by far.

I've had a special place in my life for multi tools, and do enjoy when I can justify to use one (though it is often seldom). Among one of my first knives was a junk multitool that 10-13-year-old me picked up at a flea market, because it was cool. It had a lot of slop and it was heavy as anything to carry around, but it got me through Boy Scouts along side a regular swiss army knife Recruit that i've found and lost several times over through the years.

At this time, I have two Leatherman tools - a Sidekick that I have had probably more than 10 years, and a Free P4, that both see occasional use, but mainly remain in the car or in a bag if I know I'm going somewhere where I'll be without my regular assortment of grab and go tools. I generally find myself these days opting for one of my several pocket knives (my current go-to is a Buck Kingsman, or a Kershaw Amplitude, if I'm looking for something a little more compact, or my Ghromman Mini Russell if I'm looking to be a little bit more stylish) and a pair of cobra XS.

All this said, will I stop buying knives and multitools? Not a freaking chance.

I like the idea of the multi tool a lot, but honestly I never use mine. I think it would be really good for camping/hiking. All I really need is a blade for daily use and my pocketknife is slimmer and easier to deploy.

Here are mine. 3 leathermen and A KR tools micro. . I carry the KR micro with me in my cycling kit in my jersey pocket. The main advantage of it is the small size. The only tool on it I've used out on the bike is the pliers to pick out whatever caused my flat out of the tire (usually glass), picking it out by hand isn't fun and likely to cut your finger. Don't ask how I know that. I have a folding hex key/screwdriver for the bike separate in the saddle bag if needed.

I carry the leatherman rebar currently in a sheath on my belt. I used to do that with the Juice. The only advantage to the rebar is that the blades/tools "lock" in place when opened. I did carry the juice in my pocket, but it wore holes in the pants. Now the juice and original LM are in the house on my desk. I'll take the Juice in my pocket if it isn't appropriate to wear a sheath on my belt.

If I'm working on a project I don't use these multitools. I do like to carry one of these with me at all times just for something quick that saves me a trip going to get a tool or locate one when I'm at work.

My first ever multitool is a swiss army pocket knife I bought when I was a kid. I still have it, but it doesn't have much going for it compared to these multitools.

Aye.


I love my Leatherman Rebar for running and gunning on the job. Many times I just need pliers to grab, twist or pull something, a flat head to open a panel, or a cutter to cut/strip a wire. I wouldn’t want to wire a house with one, but It saves me a lot of walking for all the minor details.

I've carried a leather PST 2 or wave for 20+ years now at work. It fits my pocket nicely, means I always have a set of pliers, a knife, a file, a screwdriver handy.

I wouldn't mind someone making a really slimmed down tool for going out but it seems like they only make those with gimmicky tools like cork screws and mediocre pliers.

Last place I worked had an incident involving a hand gun. It was all a misunderstanding and no harm was intended but it caused a freakout at the corporate offices. The result was a far reaching and all encompassing weapons policy. Unfortunately, the policy banned ALL locking blade knives. This sucked because probably half the guys in the production areas had some kind of multi tool with a lock blade knife on their belt or in pocket. I switched to a SAK for a while but missed my pliers and cutters. Finally ended up removing the knife blade from my Wingman and carried on as before.

I've never seen one in the wild and you may not be interested, but Leatherman has a knifeless Rebar that would really make the safety Nazi's flip out trying to get you banned from a site. I wouldn't want one because it has to be opened all the way to access every single tool.


I have seen a lot of injuries over the years but it seems to be mostly done by incompetent people. I know Big Safety is looking out for everyone but in some instances there is too much safety. Pre job training should be mandatory.
I've been to many a safety meeting and the obvious wasn't ever mentioned. Pull your head out of your *** and pay attention to what you are doing. Meeting adjourned. Luckily, since all I do is service work, I've haven't been to one since around early 2000, which coincides with the last time I wore a hard hat.

Governments and Corporations are terrified of litigation nowadays but Health & Safety rules/regulations were a hard won benefit (by Trade Unions).

100% agree though, any company who fails to train and document employees to work safely deserves everything they get.

I’ve seen one.

They actually make a degree of sense to me, because in my experience few folks carry a multitool alone. They usually carry one in conjunction with a decent pocket knife (that’s certainly what I do) so might as well leave the blade off and add something else.

Might be different in the U.S. where folks more often just wear shirt and pants / trousers so just carry one pocket tool.

That reminds me of my lost tool anecdote...

About 2018 I had misplaced my beloved Skeletool. After a couple weeks, I couldn't handle not having it anymore and took the oppourtunity to 'upgrade' to the fancy 'Skeletool CX', the snobby version with carbon fiber. I joked with one of my employees that I would find it since I was buying a replacement. I placed an order with Leatherman at 4pm.
No joke, at 6pm the same day I was pulling the seats on my sxs for a wiring project and you guessed it, under the seat there it was!
Now I have a backup... one original and one CX.

The story doesn't end there....

Last summer, about July 2024 I managed to loose the CX. I was working in AK and knew what day I lost it, but I wasn't quite sure where.
After a day or two of looking I start looking for a replacement. Well, it seems that they have changed the 'CX' and it no longer has the carbon fiber bits. AND, the originals with the CF are pretty spendy. I redoubled my efforts to find it. I even re-did a 5 mile hike starring at the ground all the time to see if I might come across it. No dice.

I knew the only way to find it was to purchase a replacement. Since you could not purchase the CF one anymore, I scoured Ebay and closely scrutinized all the skeletool listings. I found many CF Skeletool CX multitools improperly listed for reasonable prices. (NIB CF Skeletool CX were listed for $250+). I marked several and rode out the auctions, placing bids on several as they were from the same seller and had similar ending times. I wound up winning a couple of them for $45-ish each.

That was the last day of my contract, and on a whim I did a final 'FOD walk' of the (grass) helibase to see if my skeletool was there.

I'm sure you can guess where this is going....

After I won the auction, the last day I was on contract, the day before I drove 350 miles back to base and flew 2500 miles back to home, what did I stumble across on the 5 acre grass field that we used for a helibase? Yup. Skeletool.

Now I have 4 of them. I'll bring a spare with me next summer.

AYE!

I don’t carry one on me, but have several. I usually carry a 6” Cobra, knife, light, pen and sometimes a mini 1/4 bit driver.

I keep an original USA Leatherman in a case I use for meetings. Its been very handy a few times:

The Leatherman Crunch is one of my all time favorite multitools. I love that the thumb screw doubles as a bit holder, and the pin gripping slot on the jaw Is a great feature:

The last year or so I have migrated from pocket knife to the Leatherman free p4 and really find it useful. Before that I had a letherman juice which was a nice small form factor but lacked one handed opening which kept me from liking it.

None are perfect but it's more of being a tool that's in the right place at the right time. With kids, work, house and projects it sees usage multiple times a day.

My work EDC is a Victorinox Huntsman, a Gerber Shard prybar/screwdriver, an Uncle Bill's Sliver Gripper tweezers, a jeweler's loupe, and a forklift key. All of them get used regularly, but I wind up using the Gerber Shard the most.

Back in the day, l carried a Leathman Crunch and used it often until it was lost being used as a shift lever for a motorcycle. My EDC is a Gerber pocket knife and a Oliigjt flashlight. Seems a lot of multi tools are in the "better than nothing" category until you find the right one.

Leathermans are for collecting. Gerbers are for work.

Lmans warranty service is top notch though.

I have a SOG Kilowatt knife with pretty decent wire/cable stripping capability and a leatherman squirt e4. The Squirt is little enough it can go in my pocket without bugging me, with it and the SOG I am pretty covered for most of the electrical junk I end up randomly working on. Anything major and I'm grabbing a tool bag or at least a full sized leatherman from the glove box.

They banned blades and hook tools at my work because someone slashed their hand somehow, they weren’t very popular after as everyone then had to strip entire machines down just to clean out a little fibre from places only a hook could get to. 5 minute job turned into 5 hour jobs.

I have a leatherman in my pocket every day and I would say most days I use it.

Wave is my favorite leatherman, but it's too big for your pocket.

Skeletool looks nice, but it's bigger and heavier and not as useful as my favorite - the Juice S2 - orange one. The S2 has an acceptable set of pliers an acceptable knife, and all the other tools needed and folds to about the size of an old pocket knife. They don't make them anymore, I buy them on Ebay. The biggest advantage to the juice is that it has a nice pair of scissors that fold out from the outside and are quite useful. The biggest downside is none of the blades lock.

If they would make a modern version of the S2 with locking blades it would be a hit.

I cannot stand multitools where you have to open the tool to access blades. I have several like that - including an original leatherman, a victorinox and a leatherman crunch. The crunch is unique, but not very good for every day. I've had a couple Gerbers and i do not like them as well as a Leatherman.

If you don't need the pliers, I like the style CS.

Multitools and carrying it regularly - bring different levels of enthusiasm for me. Most pliers-based tools are too heavy to pocket carry. When they're small enough not to be intrusive, they're often too small to be useful. Looking at you Dime:

33287-160697.jpg

However, I've got multitools in my vehicles, my office desk and usually in my bag. I have one in my gear when I go camping, kayaking or dirt biking.

It seems to me that some of the objections to multitools come from people who have regular tools nearby. If you're carrying a toolbelt, a multitool makes no sense. Use a real tool.

...but if your handlebars get knocked loose in a crash, chair seems a little wobbly, door isn't closing right, battery cable needs to be snugged up, etc., you can fix it.

If I'm going to pocket carry a multitool, I use my skeletool. It's still at least an ounce heavier than I would like, but I've yet to find a lighter tool that is as useful. I wish they'd make an ultralight version.

LEA830921.JPG


In my office I have a Victorinox Spirit X. It seems like the most dignified multitool. If you're going to whip out a multitool in a professional setting, this is the one you want.
71y16cOY4NL._AC_UF894,1000_QL80_.jpg

My SUV and truck both have SOG Powerlocks. Admittedly, this is a heavy, old-school multitool design that requires you to open and close the outer flaps to access the fold-out tools - which is slow. However, the pliers head is excellent, the compound leverage makes a difference, the covers make it comfortable to hold, the tools lock and the whole thing is both robust and inexpensive. It's a great vehicle multitool.

SOGS69-N-2__11471.1533222076.jpg

I've got a bunch of SAK's too. Spartan, Rescue, Swisschamp, Camper, Huntsman, Alox SD, Bantam, Electrician Alox... might be more that I'm forgetting. I think they're amazing, high-quality tools for what you pay.
orm%3Afit%2Cwidth%3A1100%2Cheight%3A830&quality=80.jpg

I picked up an MKM Malga too, just because of the M390 blade. It's a very nice knife, but the backspring is a little weak, the awl isn't sharp, the can cutter works - but not as well as on an SAK... I think it also highlights just how good Victorinox knives are.

I have a Schrade I bought 25 years ago and carried it fairly regularly when I lived/grew up on a farm. Repaired a lot of fence with it. It's lived in my glove box since then and I doubt I've used it 3 times in the last 15 years. I also have a Gerber Dime (below next to a quarter) that I pretty much only carry on Christmas when visiting family to help open gifts so I don't have to loan my "good" knife out, or when I go wade fishing or hiking for field repairs. It's not half bad for it's size.

1735834510492.png

Dad carried a Gerber multi-tool forever at his job as a plant engineer though. He wore the first one out and decided he had gotten his money's worth so he bought a second instead of sending it in for warranty.

That is just asinine.
Obviously you never worked for a railroad.... :ROFLMAO:

When I was a FNG new hires while training had to wear a yellow hat only so that the others working around you knew that you were training and all could keep an eye on the you. Three months after I was able to shed the Hat someone who was not a FNG got struck by something hanging off a car that had been kicked onto an adjacent track for switching,
Next thing was we ALL had to wear a yellow vest and it was supposed to make the free rolling car stop before it hit you....:rolleyes:

One day I was stopped on the Main Line at a signal and we were boarded by a pair of trainmasters and a road foreman of engines (all managers) we were opening pistachios with a small pocket knife and had a leatherman on the dash of the locomotive to assist on the tough ones. Two of the managers wanted to write both of us up for having a weapon on the train. And also not wearing our vests inside the locomotive, I asked how we could get run over while sitting at a signal "inside" the locomotive?

We promised them that we were a friendly crew and wouldn't kill each other...they were not amused, fortunately one had common sense and convinced the other 2 that is was ok unless we had a fixed bladed knife.

My 20 pounds of rule books we were required to carry were filled with trivial ****...
Many rules were written in blood but over time they became trivial, like no more dismounting from moving equipment til they find out that it created overtime due to the amount of times we now had to stop to get off and on a car or a locomotive.

I got one when they came out and carried it for about 8 years until I was out of the service truck. Having the locking plier made it a lifesaver in a pinch (no pun intended). I don't remember all the times it saved me but one particular time I used it to pinch off a coolant vent line that broke off a large genset engine with a remote radiator. Would've spilled 200 gallons or more (system held around 500) of coolant before I could've gotten back there with any tools to stop it. I didn't have my phone on me and I don't think there was any service below ground where I was anyway.

I have, as well an Leatherman Crunch kicking around for sometime (like 25yrs) it lives in my backpack or i take it for bikerides. The pliers are really good and I‘ve cut some sturdy wires with it.
But EDC no.

Ironworker foreman here. I have carried a Leatherman Surge clipped into my left front pocket ever since they came out. Yes it's large and heavy but compared to the 30 pounds of bolts in my connecting bag it's a featherweight. I find a use for it every single day. I've been carrying a Leatherman for EDC ever since the first Pocket Survival Tool came out in early 80's. I almost never leave my home without some flavor of Leatherman!

Tim Leatherman was an acquaintance of my father's. I got to do some early prototype testing back in the early '80s. I carried an original for a decade or so and managed to break the pliers several times trying to cut heavy wire and such. Leatherman was always great about repair/replace--even on the prototypes (I wish I still had one of those).

I've carried numerous models of Victorinox SAK. I've owned Gerber, SOG, and a half-dozen other makes of multi-tool over the years.

A boss gave me a Leatherman Wave in presentation sheath twenty years ago. I'm sure I still have it.

My job is construction/maintenance at a brewery. I'm on call to fix things every minute that I'm here, whether working or having an after-work brewski. Do I carry a multi-tool? Nope. I carry a large lockback Benchmade, a 6-way screwdriver, Slip-N-Snips and a Knipex 125 Cobra. I can do about 50% of what needs doing with those tools, and they're real, dedicated tools. When I need more, it's not that far to walk back to the shop.
