(Part 2) Best multitools & accessories according to redditors

$36 for this shitty little thing?

Save yourself $30 by buying a tool with identical functionality from a well-established brand. The only real difference is that Gerber's doesn't have an LED, but with the $30 in you're saving, you could buy 45 LED keychains instead.

For the lazy

Its a multi tool. You can get them on amazon.

This thing? Thanks for bringing it up. A coworker has this and I've been meaning to buy it!

I may not always have my pocket knife on me, but this is always in my wallet. It's been way more useful than I thought it would be.

Good call. I have used the Leatherman Wave for years and love it (lost and replaced it 2 times).

Amazon has it for $65:

There's also less expensive ones like the Sidekick:
http://www.amazon.com/Leatherman-831426-Wingman-Multi-Tool/dp/B005DI0XM4/ref=sr_1_7?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1414686995&sr=1-7&keywords=leatherman+wave

I would recommend NOT buying the cheap knock-offs. I've owned several over time and have just about lost fingers from poor locking mechanisms, etc. Make sure the blades and tools lock solidly (the Wave does).

The Victorinox CyberTool 34

I have a green one, if it had locking blades it would be perfect. There's a bigger one I think it's "41" and a smaller "29" that I know of. I've never seen them, I suspect from the pictures the 41 is too large and the 29 maybe not as useful.

The pliers may be a deal breaker if you're used to the leathermen.

Leatherman Wave

i carry a wave clipped to the side pocket of my dress slacks, i barely notice it anymore. get this as a stocking stuffer https://www.amazon.com/Leatherman-934850-Quick-Release-Pocket-Lanyard/dp/B0002H49DA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1510725862&sr=8-1&keywords=leatherman+wave+clip

really changed how i carry mine for the better.

You can get an attachable clip from Leatherman for the Wave. I carry mine like this in my jeans.

I carry the Leatherman Wave. It's great because it does what I need it to.

Like /u/ParksVS said, I love it because you don't have to open the entire tool to access the blade(s), saw or file.

The sheath is also very good quality and allows for driver extension storage. You can also store the Wave opened up facing down so it's plier-ready utilizing with the hole in the bottom of the Sheath.

Plus, driver bits and plenty of warranty voiding Wave "hacks".

I suppose if cost is not an issue there's better and more expensive mutlitools out there but hey, it's $53 USD right now.

I have one of these multi-tools, and it's come in handy lots of times. Tiny, cheap, and very feature-packed.

It's $15 for one. You can find it here.

If someone who wasn't involved in theater bought ME gaff tape for xmas, I would remember it for a long time to come. Remember, it's the thought that counts.

If you're looking for something that's not an awesome consumable, you could try an aluminum scale ruler, tactical flashlight (must be black!), or a Gerber.

I work in a chemical plant and the Leatherman/crescent wrench combo save me all the time.

I own one of these. I think i picked it up on a clearance rack at Target for 7 dollars. It's ok.

Alternatively you could get this one: https://smile.amazon.com/Leatherman-Bit-Driver-Extender-Silver/dp/B0022G72BK

Also; wouldn’t one of these be less cumbersome and more useful than the wrench/spanner?

My favorite TSA moment was when they confiscated my wallet survival tool, because it had a 'knife'. Apparently I could kill everyone on the plane with it. Meanwhile the TSA is perfectly ok with knitting needles, because there's no way you could ever stab anyone with those right?

That one looks like a Victorinox Swiss Army CyberTool M.

I'd consider something like the Leatherman Wave or Surge. They're quite similar but the surge is larger and has more tools, the wave is pocket friendlier version. 25 year warranty and it's a good reliable warranty they'll fix/replace no matter what you do to it if you manage to break it.
They are both around the $100 dollar mark and are considered to be in the higher echelon of multi-tools, real, hard working useable tools. it's a worthwhile investment for something you'll probably use daily.

I'd also consider buying the Leatherman bit kit. It has a wide selection of flatened lightweight screwdriver bits that will fit the Wave or Surge's bit holder. Between the tool and the bits you can put together/take apart just about anything in a relatively light weight package.

There are so many knives and pocket tools, and what you like depends on how you're going to use it and what your general aesthetic is.

Trimming nails? Opening envelopes? Tightening screws? Cutting wire? Peeling oranges? Fending off wolverines?

Wood? Steel? Plastic?

Tell us what you want to use it for, and what material you prefer.

Here are a few of my favorites:

Great combination of tools, including good phillips:

Great wire clippers/strippers; good other tools:

Great small tool with a clip and good scissors:

https://www.amazon.com/Leatherman-Style®-Multi-Tool-Stainless-Steel/dp/B0032XVNMQ

Leatherman Skeletool is the most compact full sized multitool that I would recommend (on sale at Home Depot for $30 also). If you're looking for something smaller, maybe the Squirt ES4 that has wire strippers.

For knives there's a lot of options. Did you have a preference on cost, size, blade shape, lock type, assisted vs manual?

There's also a lot of options for flashlights. Did you have a preference on size, rechargeable/battery type, endcap switch vs twist operation?

Lighter I would just go with a Bic.

Fisher Space Pen or maybe a fountain pen.

Rite in the Rain notebooks seem to hold up really well.

Nomad makes a compact iPhone cable that can go on your keys.

Don't really have any experience with battery banks unfortunately.

I've been really happy with my Trayvax wallet, really easy to clip to something when you're out in the woods so you don't lose it.

Nice, should be reasonably straight forward. I saw that you were worried about the CPU--that part is intimidating but also not as bad as it seems. There is plenty of space around the edge to hold on without touching the pins. Just look the chip and the motherboard over carefully before you pick them up to see how to align the chip--there's a notch in the corner to make sure it fits right.

Do you have any tools and a static strap? You'll probably need a small screwdriver, and the static strap gave me peace of mind, though you don't necessarily need it.

I got a tool set like this, and it was super useful to have everything I needed in one place. The best item was the little part grabber for when you inevitably drop a screw somewhere in the case or on another board. I think one of the tools is also to help you hold the cpu while you install it. The $22 version has a static strap plus some other tools, or you can buy the static strap separately.

Edit: Realized something later--straight forward doesn't mean error or mistake free! Take it slow, and if something isn't working, back up a few steps and figure out what went wrong. Worst case, pull it all apart and start over! Don't want you thinking you're bad at this after everyone said how "easy" it is when you realize at the very end you put something in upside down or missed some screw. Everyone does that!

I'm just going to throw out a list or two here and you can skim it:

• Full socket wrench set
  
• PC tools (whether you're into pc repairs or not, they offer many nifty little tools you often use elsewhere)
  
• Drill'n'bits
  
• Long screwdriver (flat head/Phillips)
  
• A fucking magnitizer/demagnitizer (you'll wonder how you lived without one)
  
• Hammer / nails
  
  
  Not needed, but fun as hell:
  
  
• Wattage meter for outlets (only need one) "What the hell is causing this high electric bill?"
  
• Infrared thermometer "I bet that frying pan is cool by now..."
  
  Oh edit - not tools, but useful in said tool kit:
  
  
• Many types of tape electrical, two sided, painters, etc
  
• Super glue
  
• Batteries (at least AA, AAA - you'll thank me when the power is out next)
  
• A good flashlight (or 3)
  
• An LED work light bar thing
  
• A head lamp

At the moment I'm running:

TEC Centipede - Titanium ruler that's about 8.5cm in length. I measure things irregularly, but not enough to warrant a full tape measure which will take up more pocket space. Feels super well made.

Leatherman Micra - Just got it, and I'm torn on how much I like it. Whilst beefy, the scissors sometimes flex whilst cutting thicker items (so it goes between the blades laterally). I've never had this problem with my Classic SD, and may end up moving up to a 74mm Victorinox like the Executive for the sake of the bigger scissors.

Boker Vox Access Tool - Titanium prybar with a carbide glass breaker on the end. I've come from the SD Titanium Prybar which was bloody useless for nail pulling due to the groove literally being a 'V' without any guiding for nails, and the edge of the bottle opener kept digging into my hand when I used it. Although for it's follies, the tip lip is very thin (yet sturdy) and can get between thinner crevices than the VAT; I also drove in a couple of nails with the SD, and in seeing if I could unscrew a half in one with the VAT, I chipped the guiding groove for the nail puller (not severely, but it was kind of disheartening as I literally just bought it and didn't think it was much of a stress test).

Kershaw Pub - Technically this isn't on my keys, as I put it in the 'snuff pocket' in my jeans, it's beefier than the VAT for box opening, and the blade is about the same size as a Stanley blade. It's a bit of a different design and great for fidgeting. Not so great for fidgeting when people see you, but fun all the same.

I've currently retired:

The SD Ti Prybar - See above, a great little prybar, hampered by a frankly stupid decision to put a bottle opener on it. NOT EVERYTHING NEEDS A BOTTLE OPENER.

Victorinox Classic SD - A present which I absolutely love, however I'm in the pursuit for something 'beefier', although the scissors on this are second to none for all the little odd jobs I've had over the years.

Uncle Bills Sliver Grippers - Brilliant tweezers for splinters, however the first day I put them on my keys, and then sat on my keys, I hadn't put them in the holder right and they stabbed me in the arse. These tweezers have never been on my keys since.

Resqme Car Escape tool - Had it on the keychain, realised I'd only ever use it in the car, and now I keep it in the glovebox as I have the glass breaker on the VAT.

Leatherman Squirt PS4 - An absolutely fantastic multitool let down by a shit pair of scissors which have a lot of play between the blades. It results in a lot of rough cuts and ultimately spoils a perfect out of the box multi-tool. In the pursuit of better scissors and a lighter set of keys, I've currently retired this fantastic piece of kit.

Leatherman Brewzer - I absolutely loved this little prybar, but it broke in half when I tried to get a little shelf stud out of a bookcase, and it just shattered my confidence in the product to the point that I can't be bothered sending it in under warranty, as I know I'd never use it again.

Gerber Dime - I bought this at the same time as the Squirt PS4 because I couldn't decide between them. After taking them both out of the packing and comparing them side by side one after the other, it was instantly obvious that the Leatherman was just the better fit, so this was retired pretty much instantly and was gifted within an hour.

True Utility Keytool - First keytool I ever had and it was great for years! Practically invisible and as I only used it for the file, the mini screwdriver, and the thread cutter, it was fantastic. Never had an issue with the quality, and never had the need to take it off the key it was on, I only stopped carrying it because I don't use the type of key it works with anymore, and don't want to carry it round for the sake of it when I have so many other options. Great little buy though.

I'm probably going to buy:

Victorinox Manager - This is pretty much the best multitool for what I really need, and it has a pen. It's just 58mm and I really want a larger pair of scissors, however it has all the tools I've used recently, and it has a pen!

Another Prybar. As soon as I find a beefy titanium 80mm~ straight prybar which doesn't have a bottle opener on it, and instead has another useful purpose I'm going to get it. Hell, even if it doesn't have a secondary purpose I'll probably get it as well.

One of my favorite gifts for my friends is a business card sized multitool! Ex: http://www.amazon.com/Wallet-Ninja-Multi-purpose-Credit-Pocket/dp/B00JJVBGU4

:P

In the tank bag:

• Small ratchet set (5mm - 14mm) (these arent the best in the world, but they're compact and good enough)
  
• Multi-tip screw driver
  
• Leatherman Crunch (folding vice grips with drivers)
  
• Tire pry-bars with 22mm and 24mm box ends.
  
• Electrical tape
  
• Zip Ties
  
• two sets of allan keys (2mm - 10mm) (One folding and one standard)
  
• set of Torx keys (folding pocket style)
  
• CO2 tire inflation
  
• Puncture patch kit
  
  This all fits in ONE side pocket of my tank bag. I do this because not every bike has enough under seat storage (because the DynoJet PC-III USB takes up too much room).
  
  On my older bikes I add a butane soldering iron, electrical crimps, and spade connectors. I've had to rewire a rear rectifier in the field before and it really helps (Known issue of melting connectors on the old Honda V4's)
  
  

LEATHERMAN - Crunch Multitool with Folding Locking Pliers and Pin Vice, Stainless Steel with Leather Sheath https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0007UQ1EC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_UbaQCb8GYH1HZ

Plus the pliers actually hurt your hand if you have to squeeze anything with a decent amount of force. The handles are too thin and there are edges of tools on the handles as well. Its just not very ergonomic.

I've had the Leatherman Wave on my belt for a few years now, survived a trip to the mid-east, it's by far the best multitool I've ever had.

Edit: I'd probably get a Leatherman New Wave if I had to buy one today.

Edit2: Mine totally has the saw and file, I don't know what I was thinking. I've got no idea what the difference is between the wave and the new wave. Maybe it's just Amazon putting a "New" label on the item.

Congrats on graduating. I have a collection of unusual multi tools. Most I just have as curiosities and to satisfy my inner MacGyver. I have one similar to this I got on Amazon. Keep in mind the way pliers and Phillips screwdriver are located makes them hard to use, otherwise the other tools do their job well enough. And It has a crazy vibe I like.

You can search for "Leatherman bit driver." Amazon has just the bit driver and a kit.

Can you tell me more about that legendary kit? Is it like that? https://www.amazon.com/Rosewill-RTK-045-Computer-Phillips-Screwdriver/dp/B0045KYOGM

Finding a waterproof multitool for that price is going to be difficult or even impossible, but regular maintenance would keep a normal multitool in good condition if that would suffice.

If you'd be willing to slightly stretch the budget, you could consider a Leatherman Wingman:

http://www.amazon.com/Leatherman-831425-Wingman-%C2%AE-Multi-Tool/dp/B0058EJ2MK

I'll try to think outside of the box on this one.

How about a multitool?

I mean in shop work you will probably use the pliers at least as much as your knife and other tools like screwdrivers as well.

If you want one that is below $40, the Leatherman Wingman might be just right for you, as it has a decent selection of tools, including a one-handed opening locking blade that will be fine for most tasks (I own one and it is one of my most used blades).

It is relatively light and has a pocket clip, so you could EDC it in your pocket or in a belt sheath.

Spare tube (Schrader valve), tire levers, wallet multitool, zip ties, and a bike multitool. I'm always within half a mile of a gas station, so a pump is unnecessary for me.

I throw everything but my wallet tool into the backpack that I then throw into my milk crate on my rear rack (no back sweat).

What man, just screwdriver bits? You don't want the knife and pliars and all that? Maybe the crkt get away driver, it has all kinds of bits and even an led.

Or just get a leatherman that uses the flat bits.

Or the leatherman s2. It has a really nice phillips driver, and the phillipd driver works with the removable bit driver so you can use any quarter inch hex bit.

They make a pocket clip that locks into it. Link! - I hope I got the formatting right. :)

You have lots of good selections in your list. Dunno about the shoes, do they really have lots of holes? Mosquitos will LOVE that!

Here are some camp kitchen suggestions that add value w/out hassle

Thin cutting/prep surface

Cheap kitchen knife with sheath for easy stowage(pick one or two)

Cheap non-stick frying pan(I got one for a few dollars at a grocery store)

Cheap heat-resistant spatula

Exxxxtra loooong tongs for cooking over a fire. Them coals get HOT.

The amount of different meals you can make with these is amazing. Eat a steak or salmon instead of MRE's... Cook bacon, sausages and scramble eggs for the camp...

I also recommend a small vise-grip for when you're wrenching and need a third hand. I splurged on the Leatherman Crunch and I love it.

And to jump on the bandwagon, go for smaller tent and a hatchet.

http://www.amazon.com/Leatherman-68010101K-Crunch-Multi-Tool-Leather/dp/B0007UQ1EC

I picked up a pair of these so I could have a small vice-grips on my belt. Works great in a pinch, and has saved me a trip back to my main toolbox more than a few times. http://amzn.com/B0007UQ1EC

Awesome multitool Overall good reviews.

Sounds like you need this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000NJUU94/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_EZ1WAb1TW23JR

What is your budget? You say under $100, but what exactly does that mean - $20, $40, $80?

My fiance and I are in a similar (reversed) situation. He's a part-time intern and finishing college, and I work full time in a good job. The stuff I want, but have not purchased for myself, is definitely all out of his price range.

Hiking ideas:

• Backpacker handbook and/or local trail guidebook
  
• Super light travel games, like mini UNO
  
• K9 H20 Travel Water Bottle (a water bottle with a built-in drinking cup for dogs, perfect for hikers - like $20 at PetCo)
  
• $13 Hammer/Multitool, good guy gift in general
  
• $8 Waterproof Match Kit
  
• Tent light (around $45 at sporting good store... you can probably find a push light cheaper in a non-hiking section)
  
• Wool hat/gloves/boot socks
  
  Kitchen stuff:
  
  
• Cast iron skillet ($40ish) for making bomb steaks
  
• Drink stones (usually plastic or metal, for cooling liquor without watering it down - $10+ at Target)
  
• $50 monogrammed steak branding iron
  
• Manly apron
  
• French press for coffee
  
  
  
  

I have a Sheffield version (http://www.amazon.com/Sheffield-12913-Premium-Hammer-Tool/dp/B000NJUU94) and I just opened them all up and they closed right back.

It may be your tool. I would see if yours has any easy to get to take down screws and try it that way!

It is a Sheffield Hammer Tool. It feels like it is made decently. Considering the price I paid and that it is made in China I do have my doubts about it, more of a novelty knife. They also make a hatchet version. I plan on getting that too.

https://www.amazon.com/Gerber-MP600-Multi-Plier-Blunt-07520/dp/B001AC1C6I

i owned a leatherman, it broke. this one didn´t.

My wife keeps her pink camo pocket knife I got for her with her.

I want to get her a Gerber multi-tool, like the one I got issued in the Army, and miraculously kept without having to pay for. The black oxide coated stainless steel one

Amazon has it on Prime, for cheaper too!

e: she'd probably wear it appendix style, in the black nylon holster.

But a pistol magazine pouch would work good, too. Better. Thinner, slimmer. I used to keep my Gerber in a pistol pouch on my gear when I was in the Army. Had the same Gerber in the same pistol case through 2 rotations of training and deployment.

Leatherman Wave/Skeletool/whatever with the bit extension and bit kit?

I use a Leatherman Squirt. I use in salt and fresh, a little CorrosionX once in a while and it looks like new. Got it used on ebay for cheap a bunch of years ago.

1. One thing
   
   
2. I want an early present!
   
   Try not to celebrate a little too much with liquid courage ;)

Perhaps a DataVac?(Note: It doesn't suck, it blows!)

Maybe a tool kit?

Wacom bamboo or similar?

Edit - Maybe something off Vat19?

No problem!

I'm in the same boat man. I've been fucked by the DMV for 2 years now so I still don't have a license, and I'm 20. I'm pretty jealous of people that have the coordination to play instruments!

I understand the money struggle as well. I live on a dead-end island where all jobs are seasonal, so during winter jobs are scarce.

If you are scared about frying parts, you may want to look into getting an ESD mat, an ESD wrist strap, and a proper PC repair toolkit. Just some things every PC builder/user should have in their arsenal. Just follow proper procedure and ground/discharge yourself before working on parts and you'll be fine.

Whatever you do don't get this: http://www.amazon.com/Gerber-31-000750-Grylls-Compact-Multi-Tool/dp/B004DT2912

It broke the first time I tried to bend a wire with the pliers, lol. Was not expecting it to totally destroy itself in 30 seconds but, hey the gerber shard is really nice I carry it on my keys.

I love Kevin. For you because Fionna and Cake rawk and they need to make vinyls for them!

For me because multi-tools are so useful. (★^O^★)

are you aware of similar designs produced in titanium? like:
Schrade Titanium Pry Tool
ti edc pry?
Boker Plus Vox Access Tool

OK. Here are some EDC options, knives and other things.

• Great utilitarian folder: Spyderco Paramilitary.
  
  
• Great "gentleman's folder" option: Benchmade 707 (as well as a few other models), Mcusta, a few spydercos... let me know if you want more options in these.
  
  
• Maxmadco pen, or Fisher Space Pen.
  
  
• Rite in the Rain notepads I keep a small one in my back pocket.
  
  
• A nice leather wallet.
  
  
• Key chain multitool (I love this one).
  
  
• Small EDC flashlight.
  
  ummmm, let me know if you need more suggestions.
  
  Edit: you will have to shop around for best prices... no idea where it would be cheapest for each of these products.

I would suggest the Leatherman Wingman. I have it and it has worked out great. Only costs $35 so it doesn't break the bank.

Atwood tools are a collector's item. No different from buying an expensive stamp or an expensive coin or whatever.

So I don't get what your point is. People can only spend money on things that are 100% useful? That's stupid.

Then there's the whole "it's not just a keychain" argument, but you've clearly made up your (stupid) mind on that one so I won't even bother.

edit: nevermind, just looked at you're profile and you're just an idiot troll, so don't bother replying.

This thing is only 10 bucks. I've had it on my keychain for a few years now.

Hubby needed a gift for work and I saw an Amazon that they had this multi-purpose pocket knife that was in the shape of a crab. It wasn't too tacky looking, it looked like it would be functional. Since Maryland is known for blue crab that would be something a little less ordinary.

Other ideas would be to get some themed coasters, actually if you just search Maryland on Amazon you can find a whole bunch of stuff.

Maybe not as effective as a kitty, but it also doesn’t have the stigma of being intended as a weapon. The screwdriver is pretty sharp (stick ‘me with the pointy end 😉), and the pry tool means I don’t break my nails on stuff anymore!

Might want to consider the Wave+. Thing is a much better mt then the wingman or skeletool (though the skeletool is nice). Would be the only one you'd have to carry. You can find them on ebay for $70 - $80 new. It's where I picked up my wave+.

If you wanted to pocket carry the wave+ make sure to pick up a clip, https://www.amazon.com/Leatherman-934850-Quick-Release-Pocket-Lanyard/dp/B0002H49DA

Wave's don't come with one but you can buy it separate.

Fits in the pocket nicely and comes in handy more often than you'd think.

Same exact knife without the SQ branding, $70 on Amazon.

Apparently Stattqualm thinks their logo is worth $40.

Looking at these comments... why not just get a Large Cybertool?

You said you work in a datacenter and are in IT and that's pretty much what this tool is for. Has a fine set of pliers for server duties. Interchangeable bits built into the tool and other things I've always found really useful working in a datacenter, namely the magnifying glass and LED light.

Best of all it's smaller than most of the other tools you mentioned and Victorinox is arguably the best built. Also it will resist rust better than Leathermans in my experience.

edit if you want to go a little smaller, this is the Medium Cybertool which keeps the bit driver and pliers but gives up some extras.

For those interested

Everybody here fumbling with your fold out Leatherman tools. Clearly you haven't found the satisfying quick action of a Gerber multi-tool. I have two of these (blunt and needle nose) and have used them from focusing lights to fixing fence on my dads farm. When I come across someone with a Leatherman I just whip this out and they change their ways and don't look back.

I have been using this as an everyday carry for the past 9 years. I got it in 2009 and carried it with me basically everywhere including a deployment to Afghanistan and daily for 5 years. When I started getting into quads a year ago, I put it in my kit and take it with me everywhere when I fly. Leatherman 830850 Skeletool CX Multitool https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000XU43IC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_z2FGAbEV5AR5Z

I use the 2 other links to add to the functionality.

Leatherman - Bit Kit, 21 Double-Ended Bits https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003E1QPZG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_.6FGAbFHWQESD

And

Leatherman - Bit Driver Extender, Silver https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0022G72BK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_S7FGAbMZ765PA

I also bought my brother one as a gift for Christmas in 2010, he doesn't use his as much as I have used mine, but still has it and in great shape after 7 years of camping/hiking and like me, he also uses it for quads.

It is a bit expensive, I'm seeing about $120 for the whole set on amazon right now, I think I payed about $65 for my set. But let me tell you, I would no questions asked buy a new one at full price if the one I had breaks or was lost. I have put some abuse on this little tool, and no doubt it has more than payed for itself many times over.

just be aware that that picture is slightly deceptive. the end where the bit is held is just for storage and not functional or structural. watch this review to see how the bit holder works, it is kindof weird. and you can get this adapter for the leathermans that can hold standard bits

may i ask the reasoning, honestly? I got the driver set for my wave and its made it almost invaluable.

http://www.amazon.com/Leatherman-931009-Bit-Driver-Extension/dp/B0022G72BK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421761573&sr=8-1&keywords=leatherman+driver

The leatherman wave has interchangeable bits and an extended bit driver

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0022G72BK/ref=mp_s_a_1_11?qid=1457968641&sr=8-11&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=leatherman+wave

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0022G72BK?vs=1y

My friend, this bit extender has made my Wave much more capable than previous. Supposedly there is a ratcheting version as well. Fits just about any standard hex bits (including sockets usually designed for drills)

Extra: Standard Leather pouches have a small area in the elastic sides to stow the bit extender. So no issue retaining it, you just need to find a way to hold onto socket bits.

Leatherman Super Tool or Squirt ES4?

Have you seen the SOG Kilowatt? Pretty cool piece of gear I gifted to someone starting out in an electrical career center in high school. It has cool details like an electrical tower for a pocket clip. I work for a low voltage contractor and have added a Leatherman Squirt ES4 to my EDC. Love the wire strippers on it.

IMO every EE needs a Leatherman Squirt ES4; It's very compact and has pliers with wire-strippers on it.

Squirt in blue, please! https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0032Y4ITU/ref=psdcmw_553990_t3_B0032XZW82

I have one of these and it was a good purchase. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0045KYOGM/

Yup, with those you set the direction of the torque and you can twist your hand really fast back and forth to loosen or tighten the screw, instead having to take your hand off the handle.

EDIT: Spend a little more and get this, lots of handy tools in there.

Air $26.09 and Toolkit $19.99 both are on Miscellaneous wish list. Also something from her Little wishes list, Kitty Treats $2.99 add-on

Not quite as comprehensive as the tool kit you listed but I use this:

Probably wouldn't help with smartphones but it has been a godsend for working on computers.

(Edit) I just noticed they also have a 90 piece set and 143 piece set which may work for you, and the quality of the tools is really good.

Mine actually broke while squeezing them (I was doubling a paperclip over).
I've been carrying the Gerber BG compact multitool ever since and while heavier, it is much more durable.

Gerber Bear Grylls compact multi-tool

No, it's the Bear Grylls one. Cheesy, I know. But I love it.

http://www.amazon.com/Gerber-31-000750-Grylls-Compact-Multi-Tool/dp/B004DT2912/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421767635&sr=8-1&keywords=small+gerber+multitool&pebp=1421767715166&peasin=B004DT2912

I was actually looking into buying a multi-tool too, like this. I probably wouldn't be hunting anything bigger than a fox. It's mainly going to be used for basic survival, and hunting being a by-product of that.

Get a multi-tool, small one like this is a good choice.

I really like my Boker, but it needs a better bottle opener, one that can actually open bottles in one try. It's also way over $15...

The Boker Plus Vox Access Tool looks to be about the only option that fully fits your request.

If it weren't for the pocket clip requirement, I'd say check out the [Burketek Pocket Wrench II Set](http://amazon.com/dp/product/B0089SI412/?tag=justanotrenob-20
) as well.

http://www.amazon.com/Boker-Plus-Vox-Access-Tool/dp/B004OKCGGI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1419920394&sr=8-1&keywords=titanium+boker

It's light and it's pretty much a multitool.

http://www.amazon.com/Boker-Plus-Vox-Access-Tool/dp/B004OKCGGI

... I don't have one, haven't used one, am not convinced a specialized glass breaker is necessary/useful. But there you go.

I was thinking of that but it was too bulky. So I went with this its also a pry bar but at the end its a window punch

I carry a small knife on my keys too but it won't be as efficient at cutting a seatbelt

Leatherman Wingman

It's fulfilled by Amazon if you buy it from here. It might save you some money on shipping.

Thanks for the giveaway!

I'm in.

Let's try this one!

This is awesome, gotta get in on this https://www.amazon.com/Leatherman-Wingman/dp/B0058EJ2MK/?tag=parametrek-20

Clippers? Do you mean nail clippers? Because those are incredibly uncommon on multitools. I can't think of one off the top of my head that has one.

The other tools all show up on the Vic Classic and the Leatherman Style CS, Micra, and Style. None of those have pliers, though. You didn't mention them, but if you want pliers, a knife, and tweezers on the same tool I think the Gerber Dime is one of the rare few (only?) to do that. Despite being Gerber, I hear it's OK, but take that with a grain of salt; I've never used one.

EDIT: Misplaced an "a".

I carry the Gerber Dime Travel on my keychain every day. I always have a knife on me anyway so it's okay that it doesn't have a blade. I have no need for a larger multi tool for EDC, but that's just me. All the right tools in a really compact package. IMHO better than a leatherman squirt. I love the outboard tools on the dime. Hands down the biggest reason I dislike most larger multi tools is that you have to open the pliers and close them again to use the more commonly used tools. I've owned a couple of these and they're always good quality yet still replaceable at that price. They also come in an option with blades if that works better for your EDC setup.

Our 371-M notebook is a bit more compact and thin than Field Notes, Word, and Moleskine notebooks. Our paper is also waterproof, so there's that. On the pen front, you can't get much more compact than either our Trekker Space Pen or our Bullet Space Pen.

The Gerber Dime is a tiny little guy; it's been decent in my experience. I also keep a Coast G19 flashlight in my bag.

Just so you know (if you didn't already), you can find better pricing on Amazon.

Leatherman Squirt $22-23 dollars.

Gerber Dime $15.88 with Free Shipping.

Heck, buy two Leatherman squirts, get the free shipping from Amazon and keep one for yourself!

I have a nice small one that I love.

For opening boxes keys are fine for anything tougher I need a knife, the screw drivers are also handy and I use the little scissors a ton, mostly for cutting my nails. I need to get at my gas meter alot and I use the plyers to open the door of it. So it is a bit of weight on my keyring but I use it a lot.

Gerber Dime. Fits right in the fifth pocket Gerber 31-001134 Dime Micro Tool https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007BKL6G4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_-9DSzbA9HWDAD

$1.98 and free shipping? Even if the design is kinda crappy, it does seem worth it to have such a small bottle opener for the low price.

keychain flashlight, tiny pen (peeking out behind the flashlight), bottle opener at the bottom, house key and office desk key hooked into the next set.

If you are after a knife that generally feels great to use, I would discourage you from buying a knife with sundry attachments. They've always poked me when I try to use the knife. If you want additional functionality you could get a Gerber Shard or a Leatherman Brewzer. I would take a multitool attached to my Skyline (or other light knife of your choice) over a Shuffle unless you direly want to save cash.

I normally don't suggest this, but you might even want a knife with partial serration. It's terribly handy for cutting through lines.

i honestly don't use it too much; mostly for cracking beers; i usually have other tools nearby if i need to pry or turn a screw. However, it's more functional than just having a bottle opener on the key chain and it's only $7. That said, I'm finding that i wish i had a wrench on it more than anything though and may upgrade to something like the Leatherman Brewzer http://www.amazon.com/Leatherman-831675-Brewzer-Pocket-Multi-tool/dp/B00AU6AN1K/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1382962990&sr=1-1&keywords=brewzer, or Scrhade tool http://www.amazon.com/Schrade-SCHTPT-Key-Chain-Tool/dp/B009XMWY5K/ref=pd_sim_sg_4

Edit: I forgot the watch. Wow, the price varies on that, it should be well south of $100.

It all depends on what the screener allows. I carried this credit card multitool on flights for years. Then a screener rejected it, so I travel with it in my luggage. At $5, it might be worth the gamble.

Some, like the wallet ninja claim to be TSA approved, but still have a sharp corner that can cut tape.

I also struggle with finding gifts for my dad. Does he like to grill/BBQ? Maybe you can can get a set of grill utensils or I saw some cooking mats for a grill on Amazon. Or you could get a set of knives, a gift card to a restaurant, one of those survival pocket tools, a baseball cap of one of his favorite sport teams, a new wallet or phone case/wallet combo, fancy hot sauce or BBQ sauce, etc. Good luck!

What about this? https://www.amazon.com/Wallet-Ninja-Multi-purpose-Credit-Pocket/dp/B00JJVBGU4/ref=pd_bxgy_468_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00JJVBGU4&pd_rd_r=39a8408c-268e-11e9-898b-bde429f25e46&pd_rd_w=52HOA&pd_rd_wg=jPort&pf_rd_p=3f9889ac-6c45-46e8-b515-3af650557207&pf_rd_r=0QE6TT4W7FQKXSFDWGFX&psc=1&refRID=0QE6TT4W7FQKXSFDWGFX

I don't think there's a blade of any type on it.

So maybe something like this, or this perhaps.

Eh, my friend has an infomercial for one of his products which is pretty legit. I believe it used to be sold at Radio Shack (RIP). It's Wallet Ninja for those interested. Apparently, they're affective because there are billions of midwestern housewives waiting by the TV with credit cards and nothing better to do.

I used to carry a metal tool the size of a credit card. It seems that something like that might be easier to carry in a billfold than coins, plus it comes in handy.

Leatherman - Juice S2 Multi-Tool, Cinnabar Orange https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JJY4ZZO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_MSomzb12FBST6

His is probably an older version but this is the current leatherman juice.

I'm a huge Ruger SR9c guy. I'm glad to see so many on this subreddit.

As for any suggestions, I'd consider if there's any place for a multitool in your EDC. It doesn't fit some people's system, but I think something like what I carry is a good way to go. It's a Leatherman Juice S2 and is a good ballance between size and the number of tools at your disposal.

I use this multitool that I keep on my keys. Never not been able to get one open. Haven't bent it yet, but it's cheap enough that it can be replaced if something does eventually happen to it. Super useful for the bottle opener and makeshift screwdriver too.

Sure, I just have a Gerber Shard I keep on my keychain. it has a bottle opener too!

I think it's a "multitool" similar to this: Gerber Shard Keychain Tool - Silver [30-001501] https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077926SLG/ref=cm_sw_r_fm_apa_i_Kh9UDbC06N98Q

Not that this is helpful to you, but ine came with a leather belt pouch that worked pretty nicely (I bought it off Amazon, IIRC).

You might consider picking up the detachable pocket clip accessory. I just got one, and it makes it much more convenient to carry around in my pocket.
