What are some good brands and models?

I was looking at a Leatherman that was in the $160 range and thats just too high for me.

I already have two and im looking for a couple more for my range bag and one to keep in my truck

The solution to any problem - work, love, money, whatever - is to go fishing, and the worse the problem, the longer the trip should be. --John Gierach

I like to have one available when camping/fishing but really haven’t had to need to use it much as a multi tool-


What has happed to you does not define who you are-

HOW you react to what happens to you DOES!

If you need everything on a $160 Leatherman, then you might as well carry a small toolbox around. I like the Leatherman Sidekick and Rebar and have those in each vehicle, the kayak, and the office.

First thing I thought was yes there are multiple. I hope I'm not one.

Leatherman.

I have a kobalt from lowes that works great for my needs, wasn't very expensive and kobalt tools have a lifetime warranty.

I've got Leathermans in each vehicle, tackle bag, backpack, etc. They are the more simple models without all the little gadgets. I bought my first over 20 years ago.

You can look around and find them online marketplaces and pawn shops for 2/3 less than retail sometimes.

Picked one of these up for $5 on clearance from Wmart last week. I think regular price was $17
Good quality—feels well manufactured
Wmart is clearing out their Stanley tools to make room for some new brand

I have a Gerber Suspension but I only bought it for emergencies. If I wanted an everyday tool, I'd spend more than $26.

The Gerber Curve is the best bottle opener I have. Other than a knife, name another tool you really need? wink

This is the one I carry for fishing. Love it! The flick of the wrist to open the pliers is the deal! The scissors cut braid etc. very nice and clean.

https://www.amazon.com/Gerber-Compa...ulti-tool&qid=1581603009&sr=8-17

Have been through two pairs of these in 20 years so I would say they last. That said I use these for fishing, not for like "working". If I was a real man who worked with my hands and I would be using this daily for a multitude of purposes I would get something a bit more rugged. LIkely still a Gerber, I just prefer them to other brands, but a different model. This model is for light duty/fishing use.
