| Looking for a good multi tool to keep in my work bag for under $100.00 with the standard pliers, screwdrivers, etc. Anyone have a recommendation? |

This is the best Wave |
![]() Best Multitool (TOOL KNIVES)? Leatherman vs Gerber, SOG, Victorinox, DeWalt, Mossy Oak, Ozark Trail I thought this was a neat review from Project Farm. I have the Victorinox (and like a half dozen others not in the video) and it’s my favorite. |

I've always wanted to buy a multi tool, but never found myself in a situation where I thought, dang I wish I had a multi tool right now. I work in hospitals so it doesn't really go with the attire to edc it. Thought about buying one to throw in the glovebox, but I'm kinda meh about that too. Someone convince me I need one.

Quoted: What kind of work are you doing with it? I like my leatherman crunch, the pliers are locking pliers similar to vice grips. I won’t be using it in my day to day job much. I want it in my work bag as a back up just in case. There have been random times a screwdriver or pliers would have been handy. |

I have had a ton of multi tools, I use them most every day. Never liked the Gerber that have the retractable jaws. Super tool 300 is a good bag carried tool but heavy, to heavy for pocket carry IMO and I have 4 or 5 around here somewhere. The one I like most is a Leather man signal ( I was surprised buy that fact since its a bush craft model ). Its light enough that I don't notice it in my pocket. Decent blade, saw, replaceable wire cutter blades etc. If I lost one of them, I would not be heartbroken, unless it was the signal. If I lost the signal I would buy another signal the same day if I could. That is about the highest recommendation I can give. |

Quoted: Everyday. All day. Wave+ is all I've ever needed for a multi tool. Used it about four times today for random stuff. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/514647/FAB3D1A0-8F34-4DD0-8A09-E66FF09F9116-2131823.jpg Cool multi-tool, but that gun is gross. |

Quoted: That one. Both Gerber and Leatherman hate the right. Leatherman just makes better stuff Quoted: Quoted: leatherman supertool 300. That one. Both Gerber and Leatherman hate the right. Leatherman just makes better stuff The Leatherman Multi-Tool blades seem to hold a decent Edge and their good for up and cutting up Wild game and Birds. |
| Have used a surge for many years. It is bulky for sure. Broken once.My fault. I offered to pay to get it repaired. They replaced the tool.Honestly I wanted my old one back. Many miles . Amazing customer service. Another company that needs to shut the fuck up about politics though. Will be using and carrying mine tomorrow |

I have used Gerber MultiPlier, Leatherman Wave, and the SOG Power Assist in Afghanistan, Saudi, and Cambodia. The one I'm using now is the Power Assist, which is heavy duty. Accent on the heavy. The blades are uncomfortable to get out and to put back, but the pliers are great. I like that the 1/4 screwdriver functions as a hex bit driver, and I like their bits better than the ones for the Wave for use as tools, but they are much more ungainly. Otherwise, much prefer the Wave. The bits are good enough, and in a convenient format, although a bit less heavy duty than the SOG version. My vote goes to the Wave or Wave+ for EDC just for the ease of use and relatively lighter weight alone. And no, I don't like their politics. |

A broken clock is right twice a day. This is not one of those times. |

Anything Leatherman. Their warranty service is awesome. Sent my Leatherman in and received a new one within a week. Attached File |
