I've always carried a multi-tool, but I'm in need of a new one. The leatherman brand has been in my pocket and on my hip since I was in the guard, so that's what I'm used to. Any other good ones?

Leatherman MUT!

http://www.leatherman.com/product/MUT

Stick with what you know works best. Leatherman makes an awesome product, and their current lineup has many different tools to offer. For the price you can't beat their products.

You really can't go wrong with a Leatherman. MUT is on my "to buy" list.

The MUT was on mine too, but it's more of an AR tool. I need something for work. I do electrical so that'll be it's main job.

I have the Leatherman Surge. Even though its a little heavy it has never failed.

I have a charge Ti that I have in my computer case. It's a few years old, but is a great tool. I have the bit set for it. It's a little heavy so maybe they have soething similar but lighter.

I figured it might as well be a lot of Leatherman love. Anything else to check out?

Gerber and SOG have decent reputations when it comes to multitools, altho I've only ever owned Leathermans, so can't say from personal experience.

I have been using Gerber myself. I'm sure the quality of Leatherman's are better, but I haven't run into any issues with my Gerbers during a couple years of hard use.

I carried a Gerber knife while I was a deck-hand in the Guard. SOG's are a bit pricey, but just as good.

I have a leatherman blast and love it. Leatherman is top notch when it comes to multitools.

I have the Leatherman Skeletool CX, but it's definitely pared down from the accessories normally found on a multi-tool.

I have had a Gerber for many years and like it better then the Leatherman I use to use. No clue on all the modern bigger and better features that may have been added in the last 20 or so years

I've had Gerbers that were good but just a little too thick for the pouch I use at work. The Leatherman Wave has been my favorite for the last six or so years.

thought I'd update this since I started it. Santa put a leatherman wave with a holster under the tree.

Leatherman Wave FTW!!!!

Good choice. I bought the same one for my dad for Xmas this year.

wha!!!! I bought my dad the skeletool with the 2 flashlights! that's funny

I have a leatherman WAVE and a Super Tool 200. The Super Tool i've had for like 8 years and it still rocks. Can't go wrong. The .mil gave me a gerber. I just stuck with my leatherman.

What's funny is after buying the new Leatherman Wave, I found my old one in the basement! Big difference in today's Wave as apposed to the one i've had for years.

Funny, I'm in the process of returning two gifts for a Leatherman MUT.

I have a Gerber and a Leatherman and prefer the Gerber. However, I just gave my son a two SOGs (an EOD in black and silver Powerlock) and they are very, very solid. A little larger and heavier than my 2, but they feel like tanks compared to the Humvee Leatherman and Gerber.

Found this on a facebook friends website..

I would've liked to see why some others failed but good video none-the-less.

I know my SOG loves to rust! (its a silver powerlock) And i've managed to break one of the tips of the needlenose pliers. I'm looking at one of those MUT tools presently...

The MUT looks awesome, but ehhhh its a bit limited when using it for anything other than basic jobs or working on a rifle. The SOG Multi's are great, just need to take care of them. IMO the SOGS have a LOT more functionality than the leathermans, mainly because of the designs of each tool. They don't typically come with as many tools as the Wave, but then the Wave has been lacking quality lately. Also, the pliers on the Power Assist model have more power than the leathermans due to their "Compound Leverage" design, which is EXTREMELY useful for the thicker stuff you want to cut or grip on to.

I have the Leatherman Core, which is great, but it doesn't touch the SOG in many ways. Looking to get the MUT and maybe
