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

[three50seven]

I carry one of these, compact and the only part of a multi tool that I actually use..knife, 1/4nut driver and 4 screwdriver bits View attachment 334492

I have one of these in the console of my truck. Pretty good idea that never really caught on.

I have a leatherman sidekick on my work bench, but I’ve never carried it beyond throwing it in my range bag or something

I’ve always been curious about the gerbers though. They look pretty well made too

If I found one that had T10, T15 and a few other Gunsmithing bits, tools, etc I'd be interested in one for my range bag.

Looking at the sog website, it looks like you can buy individual tools to mix and match what is in your multitool. Interesting.
Also Gerber mentioned above... I love my suspension. It stays on my battle belt. I hand sewed to modify a fabric milsurp pistol mag pouch for it because the sheath it comes with is crap.

Seriously, I could see carrying the ruler knife and the other contraption would be a great paperweight for a desk as a conversation starter!

Are either of these available or were they one-off builds?

After researching multitools i get these images on my fb feed all the time. I'm now in a multitool group or two... I really went from owning 1 to going down the rabbit hole and entering another subculture. :-)
All that to say, those pics are just screen shots I saved because they look cool.

I carry a leatherman supertool 300. I had a 200, but I managed to break it so they upgraded me. I just drop it in my front right pocket. I work in construction so having a pair of pliers constantly on hand has never done me wrong.

What? No SAK?

I'm embarrassed to admit that I had to Google SAK to find it is for Swiss army knife. The multitool that predates leatherman!

Those of you that carry multi-tools are they in addition to an EDC knife or instead of one?

I've carried a SAK in the past, but came to the conclusion that the tweezers were the most useful tool on it. The other tools are kind of flimsy and hard to get out, IMO.

For me, it's always been in addition to a knife, except when I was carrying a Leatherman that had a pocket clip and one-hand opening knife blade.

I always have both handy enough to switch them, but rarely carry both on my belt/pocket.

Always have a pocket knife in the back pocket. a leatherman is too slow and heavy to get out, and while I have a fast opening one, the blade and ergos on a purpose built knife are so much better.

I have carried and used a SAK for decades.....not sure of the model but it has all I need and little I do not..even the corkscrew has opened untold number of wine bottles. Like the toothpick, can and Bottle opener a good bit too.

I've been looking at this but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Leatherman PST II in left front pocket. Not real big or fancy, but then again, I am not rebuilding an engine or installing a new kitchen with it. If I need some serious work done, than I get a serious tool. But it does the job when I need some lightweight "adjustments" done. For day to day use, can't beat it. Like it so much that I bought a 2nd one just in case this one disappears. Odd how some friends count on me to have it on hand when needed.

Leatherman skeletool clipped in my pocket. It is instead of a knife on work days. Weekends, the Leatherman stays home and a knife takes its place.
