best multi-tool?

[disco_drum]

What is the best multi-tool? I know a lot of people like the leatherman, but is there another one to consider? What do you guys use?

victorinox. ever.

Vise Grips durp. But i'll have to go with Leatherman as a hometown favorite.

Gerber Recoil Auto-Plier. I don't think they make them anymore but they are the best and worth finding on Ebay. My gerber has been around the world with me and has never let me down.

I've got a bunch of multi tools and also have the SOG auto pliers one. Depending on your needs you should look at many. The auto pliers one is cool. It is like a switch blade but with pliers.

I have an original Gerber multitool, I also have an original Leatherman and its good but I have my eye on the Leatherman Crunch.

anything you cant do with it you should be using the right tool for anyway.

I have a Leatherman "Surge"

I am very happy with it and use it constantly. The best thing about this particular model is that you can open both blades without having to open the tool first.

i ended up getting the leatherman wave...i wanted to get the victorinox tool, but could not find one locally. I am, however, VERY happy with the leatherman wave. it seems to be a well built tool and I expect it to last for many many years!!!

sog. just make sure the fasteners in the pivots have plenty of locktite!

I was using my leatherman wave blade on day, and not the way it was intended. I was trying to pry something and the blade was the best option. Well it snapped. I contacted leatherman , and of course have no reciept. No problem, 2 days later a new leatherman wave arrived in the mail.

their customer service is fantastic. I believe they will even sharpen blades under their warranty.
