victorinox all the way for me, my swiss tool is 20 years old and has been punished when I bought it as a teen and still going strong. my leathermans have had several warranty claims on them which I will say leatherman honour every time but its not much good to me when i am in the middle of a job.

[@novacaine12290]

Working as a low voltage tech I was initially really excited for the SOG baton with the scissors and pen to complement my leatherman wave. Having a writing utensil always handy and scissors for cutting Velcro and zip ties sounded great (didn't expect it to handle cables or even wire stripping). Unfortunately the steel was terrible quality and deformed to the point of blade meshing after cutting the first 7" zip tie. The pen was really uncomfortable for anything over 5 mins writing. Cool idea and design, poor execution and quality.

I can't decide beetween the wave and the surge, the wave would be a more logical approach since I don't have any particular needs aside from the occasional night in the woods but I really like the more sturdy tools on the surge and somehow feel I could roughen up the surge more than the wave, any opinions?

[@_hawawa4930]

I'm not gonna lie, the QC on modern Leatherman tools is not as good as it once was. My Charge+ G10 has wobble in every single one of the tools, the springs in the small implement locks get stuck and make a clicking noise when pressed, and the pliers get stuck quite often. This is not the same case with older models.

What I love about the Victorinox Swiss Tool (not the Spirit one), is that the other tools don't come out when you take out one, they lock not only when open but when closed too

[@seanfuqua2692]

Sebastian, Still have mine from 1998 - It had the external tool functionality w/o having to open up like the leatherman. The fact it was in stainless when Leatherman only offered theirs in steel was a nice bonus.

My plus on the victorinox was the way the tools were inside ghe handles and you could get good leverage on the pliers without the handles digging into your hand.

[@scottlampe70]

I have had a Gerber and a couple of leatherman tools, but the only one that has survived corrosion free on my boat for 10 years so far is the victorinox. Everything else siezes up eventually, but not the victorinox.

Yeah, I don't think the knife-less rebar will get you through security at airports. However, I believe it's a legal option for the UK and other countries that ban locking knives for EDC. Also, some jurisdictions in the USA ban EDCing knives over 2.5 inches, so the standard Rebar might give you a legal issue there if a cop is out to get you.

"Also works as a bottle opener" ... almost anything can work as a bottle opener ;o) I have the leatherman charge and use it every day.

[@robm8809]

The SOG powerlock is the best pliers multitool. Fanboys love Leatherman and Gerber but I've used loads of different multitools in over 30 years in various technical professions, sports and hobbies, and the SOG Powerlock is definitely the best. It's more versatile, more customisable, more maintainable than Leatherman tools or Gerber tools. Most Leatherman tools rely on a pair of springs for the pliers to work but the SOG design doesn't have that vulnerability and has compound leverage. The only thing I don't like about the SOG tool is it's no longer US made, it's just a far better design than the Leatherman type, though I do agree that Leatherman just edges it in terms of fit and finish.

[@mrbuddha5263]

I'd agree, however My two gripes with the SOG power lock are the shitty doors/locking, and the cutters aren't replaceable.

Try a victorinox if u ever have a chance. Not the one in this video. The one im thinking is more straight edges not curved body. I've gave mine hell and very reliable.

[@buugiewuugie]

I have one and it really is everything I need for my job. Pliers, screw driver and knife. But I didn't get the cx and I broke the tip off my blade after couple of months. The pliers have a tendency to pinch my palm. And it's damn near impossible you get good grip and torque with the pliers. And the screw driver is awkward to use if you apply any kind of pressure. I just bought the Gerber centerline and it should be here tomorrow. Seems like the big boy version of the skeletool.

[@saltyknacker9555]

Luv me Skeletool for everyday purpose. The handy caribener/bottle opener is great. Cracked many a beer. Light, and blade is comfortable. My model looks larger than the one on the video, not sure.

[@jeffhower8151]

The Gerber's main flaw is that it will pinch your palm when the two handles come together. That's why I retired it. Very painful.

[@lighter99]

It would have been nice to see the Swisstool from Victorinox in your list. After using most of the others I've found it to be the most useful and well built. It doesn't have any extras, but what it does have works as it should without breaking. and its squared off rectangular shape with 90 degree locking is super useful.

[@gungadinn]

I have purchased 4-5 or these multi-tools, and can say that IMO, the most durable is the Gerber. While Leatherman now has a replaceable cutter insert, the Gerber has a triangular carbide insert, giving you three cutting surfaces before having to replace it. I've seen the SOG knives, but have a large number of knives/tools presently, so unless there was a feature I absolutely had to have, I'd be able to make do with what I have. Love my Victorinox Swiss Champ for packing the most features into a multi-tool, but really only a few of the tools are usable for anything that requires a bit of torque.

[@aaronjones198130]

Leather man have triangular carbide cutters. Had the Gerber center drive plus, knife blade broke and driver snapped off the body after only 6 months of owning. Waste of money IMO. Stick with leather man or victorinox.

Gerber's MP600 Blade-less model is better than the Leatherman Rebar for travel. The former comes with a detachable Rem-grit saw. No aggressive saw teeth (unlike the Rebar). If a TSA agent wants to confiscate your nice-looking Leatherman by using the saw as an excuse, you have no choice. Most folks, especially international travelers won't sacrifice their plane ride home to hold onto their multi-tool. If that corrupt nonsense happens while you're traveling with the Gerber, you just detach the saw, hand *that* to him, and walk on through to your plane. Get to your destination, get to hardware store, buy a new Rem-grit saw for a few bucks, attach it to your Gerber. Done!

I did went into USA and out with a Style PS, I just had it in my hand before the basket belt where you take everything out of your pockets, and opened it completely, took out the tweezers as well without any problem. Recently I went to and from Cyprus with a Jetsetter with the same technique and this time the lady that take your passport asked a few questions, showed it to her supervisor and it took a few minutes but nothing too serious, they allowed me to keep it. They do look weird at the multi tools (though some of them knew what they were) and Im pretty sure that someone would take one of them away one day, but till today I had no major problems.

The problem in my country is that any Multitool with a one hand operated blade accessible from the outside of the frame is illegal to carry, as they are treated as one hand operated blades since the last revision of weapon laws.

I actually have a craftsman multitool. I misplaced it after a cross country trip. Missed it so much. Thought it was gone forever. Found it a year later. Happy again. Never owned any other so I can't compare it to your group but I like my Craftsman.

Excellent breakdown! Loving the SOG's

Interesting, even very useful. Personally, had orig Leatherman yrs ago, replaced w/a Gerber. came across an orig Leatherman. For me, most useful Has to have an awl or drill, knife, can opener, file/rasp, screwdrivers, pliers. Preferred the Gerber for how fit in hand, but, Leatherman has what was wanted. Guess we all have our prefs.

I luv the awl on the Swiss Army knives.

Picking a multitool for the day is truly a case of matching the talent to the job. Most times a Victorinox, Explorer more than covers my needs, other times a Leatherman is my go to choice.

Great review, I recently got the Center Drive Plus and I love it. Go get one if you don't have it.

Victorinox > Leatherman > SOG > Gerber

Still using my Leatherman Core. I had the Blast but the lock broke. Sent it back to Leatherman and they replaced it with a standard Wave. I also have a Skeletool CX and a Micra. My first multitool was a Gerber 400 series. Thank You for the comprehensive review!! An overview of the warranties would have been nice though.

Luv me skeletool for a lighter option, looks cool too.

I work in the Trades and have tried and looked for a Multi-tool that is robust, functional, and worth the price. The only one that meets my expectations is the Toolbox multi-tool By Vise-Grip. It's a small version of the Curved Large Jaw Capacity Locking Pliers The Handel has two knives, and Philips, and a standard screwdriver. You can use any standard hexagonal driver in the screwdriver socket. All I need and was only $15-$20 bucks A professional-grade tool. I use it frequently.

[@kalinagoedge2777]

Yes, I agree. It's a great tool. Shrade made it in cooperation with Vise-Grip. Now Irwin makes it, a bit improved even.

sog power access sucks. blade rocks backwards out of the lock if you use any force.

I gotta admit: I'm a Gerber Baby.... The "Slick Slide" plyer setup has saved more than just my bacon when one hand was quite occupied.... .....Also!!! I made it a Habit to say out loud and quite publicly, "Go Go Gadget [tool being used]!" i.e. "Go Go Gadget Needle Nose Plyers!" or... If you find yourself in a pinch: "Go Go Gadget Surprise Castration!"

I love this comment more than I should -DCA

If they can make a multi tool with toe nail clippers that would be golden
