Best built multi tool!

[chops]

I have both leatherman and Gerber. I psrefer the gerber.Chops

 

[simpleguy]

I have a Leatherman Wave, I have an old Gerber, the locking pliers are what I like about the Gerber, the Leathermans seem to flop around.

So Gerber it is.....but before you go out buying them, read this website's reviews.

Doug Ritter is the BOMB!

I have a leatherman wave..... only because work gave them out one year as a safety bonus...

I like my Swiss tool. Any tool that had a chisel, and says to hit the tool with a hammer to use said chisel, has something going for it.

 

[bradley]

hands down it is the SOG for me. I have broke to many leatherman and gerbers

 

[Riot]

I've had Gerbers break in pieces when I need them the most...I actually TRIED to break a leatherman and it was a lot harder than I thought it would be. Gerber just doesn't make a good of a product as Leatherman.

I used to have a Swiss Tool...my only complaint was the price tag when compared to the Leathermans and Gerbers...But the Swiss Tool was the better by far.

If you don't have your Leatherman in your Pants your not dressed, that simple..I carry a Wave but have carried a few other Leathermans as well, I use it 20 times a day, everyday, just helped my son skin an Elk with it......Could have used the Olsen OK but in Pack.....was in a hurry.....

I don't know, but here is what I got.

 

[MrNiceGuy]

I've had two Gerbers and one leatherman.

Personally, I much prefer the Gerber.

 

[WAYNO]

My original, old fashioned, non-plastic Leatherman tools are the only multi-tools that have never failed or broken. If, and when I must replace it, (I have a couple), I don't know what I'd buy.

WAYNO.

 

[A.I.P.]

I've had the original leatherman for 2 decades hurts when you cut wire
bought a Gerber a few years latter, feels much better
both broke and were replaced free ASAP
Now I have a tiny gerber, handy because it is small and convienent
All tools used hard will break

Leatherman.

The SOG file is only marginally useful if you are like doing your nails. Barely at that. I have a Gerber and one of the last US made Schrades before they went out of business as well. The Schrade is very well made but too tightly put together to utilize the tools with ease and smoothness. I've tried cleaning and relubing...nah. Leatherman Juice XE6 for me, but I like the size and the corkscrew, If I was an electrician or using it daily I might bet something with a more serious pliers like the Charge Titanium.

+1 Wave. I have the bit kit they sell for $20.00, used it today to install a slide fire.
Has got me out of a lot of jams without having to track down another tool.

havent read all the posts - but the leatherman MUT (or MUTT?) is sweet as it was designed around the AR15 and has all the tools to work on them including carbon scraper for the gas tube.

The Multitasker blows the MUT out of the water.

I also carry a Wave, my therory is your not dressed until the Leatherman is in your pocket, I don't wear pants that
don't have a pocket and I usually don't put it on my belt.....how do people get thru the day without one, I'm a Gen.
contractor and I est. I use it 10 times on an average day and that is no lie......Ray

...if you are looking for an AR-specific tool. The MUT combines some AR-related items with more general multi-tool items.

I like the SOG paratrooper. I have several multi tools and the only one i take to work is the SOG. It locks closed unlike my leathermans. It also has interchangeable tools that you can buy and make the SOG custom to you and your needs

Gerber flik is pretty neat also when you have one hand tied up. Its easy access to the pliers is a real life saver when it comes to fishing.

So does the Multitasker.

I love my SOG!! I've had mine for around 10 years now and still going strong! Got it right when I joined the AF in 01 and have had it with ever since.
