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 (3rd picture). All tools do not lock. It’s a slip joint design. 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 5 or 6 years on and off. Its a simple design so pretty hard to mess it up. Its 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 Multitool

The Ozark Trail Multitool is a super cheap option for a multitool. At 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

Leatherman Skeletool RX

This tool, although claimed to be designed for EMTs, is a fantastic emergency tool for anyone. It’s perfect for car emergency kits. It’s also a great addition for a first aid kit. The Leatherman Skeletool RX makes a fantastic addition to a first aid kid or car emergency kit. I take it with me especially when I go on long road trips because you never know what could happen. Based off of some tests I’ve performed with this product, I can tell it is robust and capable of assisting and rescuing… Full review

Leatherman Free P4

Ease of access to each tool is second to none. Fit and finish is right in line with traditional Leatherman quality. Perfect urban EDC multi-tool. As the first multi tool from Leatherman to feature a completely new interface in years, the Leatherman Free P2 andP4 breath new life into an otherwise tired and bored industry. In my testing and experience, the Free P4 proves to be a highly capable multi tool focused on providing uncompromised one-handed access to every implement on the tool. Using the… Full review

Leatherman Skeletool KB

This is a lightweight, cheap option for an everday carry (EDC) blade. It’s tiny and simple. The Leatherman Skeletool KB is a great little EDC blade. It’s small, cheap, and simple. Leatherman literally took the knife off the Skeletool and added a pocket clip with a bottle opener. So if you’re a fan of the Skeletool blade, you’ll enjoy this knife. It has some issues though. As mentioned, there’s a plastic ring in the pivot that started to fall apart after about a month of use. I was concerned… Full review
