Best all around multi-tool?

[fubar]

I have a Leatherman Wave , with a lot of miles on it. I got a MUT Leatherman for Christmas.

Leatherman invented the concept and everyone else has been playing " catch- up " ever since. Internet rumor has it that Tim Leatherman is a Democrat , but .... He still makes the best.

I have a multitaskAR, which is a great gun tool, though a little bulky for pocket carry. It's a good tool for carrying on a rig in a pouch, especially because it comes with the different driver bits, unlike most multi tools which only have one phillips and one flat head. It is expensive though.

For a less weapon oriented tool, any of the leatherman's recommended here are good.

Leatherman Charge TTi, nice and light and strong. Been on my belt for 5+ years and still going strong with daily use.

The leatherman Charge TTi is what I carry. I use the belt clip and attach it to my front pocket. Works great even with light shorts...don't even notice it's there. I have a similar leatherman that's all steel and I find it too heavy to carry without the belt pouch. With some shorts the belt pouch does not work. IMO the titanium version is worth the extra money.

Looks like it actually has a nice blade on it.

I've been carrying a Leatherman Juice for the better part of 10 years, and a Wave for a couple years: quality kit, both of them.

Yup. Most multi tools always have small ass blades. Even if they're sharp. That's not a knife!

Thanks, all. A lot to look at here. You know what would be pure awesome? A company that lets you build your own multi-tool so you can get every tool you want.

Gerber 600 blunt nose. I like how you can flick it with one hand and have the pliers / wire cutter ready to go. I think they do have a version that trades the serrated blade for a hacksaw.

This ^ It's actually a replaceable standard jigsaw blade. With dozens of different blades available, it's easy to carry a few spares for different purposes.

The 600 series can also be found with a standard needlenose and wire cutter.

The edge of most multi tool files doubles as a hack saw.

Gerber used to have a " build your own " section on their site. ... Been a while , may still be there ...

I've had a bunch of multi-tools over the years. Although I really like the functionality of the Gerbers, 2 different Gerbers have snapped blades over time (of course I probably shouldn't have been cutting sheet rock with it lol). I have a Leatherman that I got from my cousin about 8 years ago for being in his wedding and that one is still going strong. I use my SOG pocket knife for cutting sheet rock now lol.
