Multi-tools...what are you carrying, and how?

[IndianaSoloMcfly]

Gerber center drive. In my pocket. Its awesome. The driver is excellent. The blade is average. Will probably replace it with another one whenever this one dies

Maybe you multi tool experts can point me in the right direction….. let me know if there is a tool that fits this bill……. Pliers…. Driver….. quick access locking blade. I really like the blade and driver posted back a couple pages but would prefer having pliers also.

Yeah I saw that one price puts it into leatherman range.

On duty, I carry the same Leatherman Wave I was issued on deployment back in 2016, in the leather/elastic pouch it came in (which also holds a Maglite Solitaire LED perfectly); hasn't left my work belt since. Off duty, I keep a Victorinox Mechanic in the watch/change pocket of my jeans (along with another Mag Solitaire LED, Fisher Space Pen, and Carmex) every day.

Carry these everyday at work. The Gerber is the Dime. Use the little pliers more than you’d think. The Swiss is the Huntsman. Almost feel naked without them. Full sized Leatherman in my hunting bag.

My only beef is it has two knife blades. (one smooth one serrated) Seems redundant. And some of the tools they chose I question.

Then again I pretty much only use the knife, pliers/wire cutters, scissors, and the phillips bit I carry with it. And I went with this because all the other small pocket tools switched to a weird pointy blade that only engages half of the phillips screw head to save space. And those will bend if you try to loosen a tight screw.

Just wish the scissors were better.

Sir, the two knife blades may seem redundant, but if you ever have to cut a seatbelt quickly (frequent in an auto accident) you will soon learn the reason for the serrated blade, it’s intended function. Not judging or making an argument for or against, hopefully enlightenment.

But good luck finding the correct blade.

Without an adrenaline dump I can barely find the right blade/tool. lol

Serrated blades are a must for me and my help.
When cutting vinyl, thick cardboard, thick rubber, roots or need something cut into pieces in seconds the serrated blade is a FTW tool that is a must on my 300.

This kind of use will dull the regular blade in the first hr of work.
We also use the Cold Steel 17 kobun serrated when we don’t have that second to open a multi tool. The edge has lasted an entire year of heavy HEAVY use. So well in fact I bought an extra!

I have been carrying the Leatherman Arc since it's release and it is by far the best multitool I have owned.

I've had the Leatherman Wave for about 10 years and it's done me well, although it can be over-hyped, it does serve it's purpose in my carry bag. In my tool kit I keep an Gerber MP-600 for ease of one handed use. Generally in my work bag I carry a Roxon S802 because it has the tools I want and a good set of scissors. For yard work I have a CAS Hanwei, best shears/scissors I've had with other tools involved.

I carry a Wave in my pocket everyday at work with the Leatherman clip. I have a Charge with the orange 10 handles and s30v blade I usually carry around home and the woods. It goes in a bench craft leather sheath.

I wore out the leather pouch that came with it.

I got my Real Avid 1911 multi tool.
It looks decent has a lot of tools bits I use at the range. The knife was dull, but I'll take care of that. I put it in my range bag already.

Thanks to @Edged Tools for getting it answered sending it to me.

You can put your belt thru it or clip it on.

I like taking the Leatherman off when I'm driving and it works great for me.

It's a shorter gun mag pouch I had lying around and it fit my Leatherman.

Multitool sheaths!

Big fan of this sheath, just don’t lean over the car or the nice truck with it on.
Walk cautiously around your customer’s cars with this on the hip as well
Not fancy just slim and absolutely durable in the elements.
