Leatherman Wave

Great tool to have in a hiking backpack. I always have it with me because of the versatility. A good choice in leatherman without being too expensive.  Full review

Tekton Everybit Tech Rescue

This precision bit kit is perfect for maintaining, taking apart, and putting back together gear. Made for electronics, this kit is excellent for all sorts of gear with small screws such as knives, multitools, flashlights, lanterns, etc. This bit driver set is exceptional. It has virtually every bit you’ll need for gear maintanence. It’s perfect for helping disassemble knives and multitools for cleaning (which is what I use it for). I’ve also found it helpful in helping me take apart flashlights… Full review

Victorinox Swiss Army Cadet Alox

The Victorinox Swiss Army Cadet is a very simple multitool that is compact and lightweight. It’s the perfect size to clip onto your keychain, slide in your pocket, or stash into your backpack. This multitool is great. It’s super slim, compact, and light. For some people it might be too big for a keychain, but I didn’t have a problem with it. This is a great backup companion to take with you wherever you go. It has functions that can serve you in your everday life or in the outdoors. It has… Full review

Multi Function With LED Light Folding Tool

This multitool has its ups and downs, but makes for a good cheap tool to carry in your pocket or in your backpack outdoors. With 14 tools in all, its got a lot of uses. This multitool is okay. It has its ups and downs. This is the multitool I’ve owned the longest and that I’ve used the most outdoors. Half of the tools do not open fully; they only go halfway. I can see the benefits of this, but I’d prefer if they opened all the way (third picture). All tools do not lock. It’s a slip joint… Full review

Leatherman Kick

A multi-tool that does exactly what it should! Impossible to break, straightforward, and great to use. Great tool. I have been using this thing daily for about five or six years on and off. It's a simple design so pretty hard to mess it up. It's super convenient to use the pliers; everything else is a bit harder to get out. My only real complaint is trying to get the knife blade out with short nails and larger fingers. Other than that, this thing is pretty great.  Full review

Leatherman Rebar

The Leatherman Rebar is a great, high quality multitool. With 17 tools, it’s a great option for the outdoors. The Leatherman Rebar is another high quality product from Leatherman. The multitool is great for the outdoors! It has an awl, a saw, and a serrated blade, which are the tools I use the most when I take it outside. All of the tools lock, which is an awesome feature. The only downside I found was that it can be tricky getting some tools out just because of how tight everything is inside… Full review

Ozark Trail 14-in-1 Multi-Tool

The Ozark Trail Multitool is a super cheap option for a multitool. It has 12 inside-accessible tools. For the price I’d actually consided this a good steal. For $4.85 (at the time of this review) the Ozark Trail Multitool is a steal. Is it the best quality multitool around? No. Is it the best performing tool there is? Not a chance. But for the price, you get 12 fully functioning tools and a high quality sheath. I’d say it’s most comparable to the Leatherman Rebar. This tool has an awl, plain… Full review

Gerber Curve

This is a small, lightweight multitool that you can clip onto your keychain. If you’re looking for something low-budget and okay quality, this might be for you. The Gerber Curve is a small, lightweight multitool that you can plop onto your keychain using its carabiner. It has a plain edge blade along with three different sized screwdrivers. The tool also features a file. I have tested the two larger screwdrivers and they both do the job well. There are no quality issues with the steel on either… Full review

Leatherman Surge

For me, the Surge has it all. It's packed with tools and when you add the Bit Kit, it can do it all! I have yet to find the task that I can't handle. I've had my Surge for almost two years now and it has never failed me. I recently undertook a major renovation project—two bathrooms and a kitchen. My Surge was my go-to tool, repairing electrical outlets, cabinets, assisting with carpentry repairs and so on. I own 20 plus Leatherman tools. My Surge is the first one I pull out of my storage cabinet… Full review
