You are absolutely right but many times afield you need to cut a branch or turn a carb screw they serve their purpose.I have had a bunch of them any name brand is probably good. They can save some time from having to go get a tool. However, I found a lot of the gadgets they contain to be a use once in a pinch. If I had lot of screws to do I wanted a good screwdriver! Also look on sites like ebay probably better prices.
I like the wingman, discontinued but probably available online. You can use the knife without opening it.Thinking about making a purchase…some multitools do contain too much that is seldom used.
however, educate me on what seems most popular and practical Model. I await a discussion on this. Thx in advance. I’m thinking Leatherman models, however I am open to other brands also.
I didn't know that Leatherman made any like that. The one I have you have to open it to get at the tools. Guess I haven't looked at them. Still miss my Bear Jaws though. Used to be sold by Mac Tools, I think made by Bear and Sons Cutlery.The Wave has several tool on the outside.
2 knife blades, file, & saw
I had my worn out wave rebuilt by Leatherman last year & they put in the newer updates like replaceable wire cutter inserts.I didn't know that Leatherman made any like that.

Absolutely dedicated tools will be more efficient, however the time savings of having a servicable tool on you vs. having to walk 100' or more to the shop to get the "proper" tool and 100' or more back to use it will save you man-years of time even if the less efficient tool makes the actual task 10% slower. Many times I find myself using the multitool I'm a whole lot more than 100' away from my regular tools, sometimes miles.I have had a bunch of them any name brand is probably good.

That's why my Leatherman in on my belt and my CRKT is clipped in my pocket. Both used for work and pleasure.Depends. How do you carry a knife? What tools do you need?
Personally, I like the skeletool because I prioritize the knife. I pocket carry with the sideclip and as it has a thumb opening knife at the outside, it's quick. It really bugs me to have to open a tool to access the knife. It's also thin, so it lacks a lot of tools that the others have, which I don't really need. After the knife, the pliers and screwdrivers get the most use, in that order. It's cheap enough that I don't feel guilty about abusing it and if I lose it, I only get mad at myself because I hate losing things, and not so much at the money lost. I have other standard bigger leatherman tools, but they don't get nearly the use.
I will also vote for the leatherman wave. A few years ago they changed the name to wave plus. I’ve carried mine for 3 years now I think and feel lost without it. A quality tool with enough good tools without being weighted down with things you won’t use. High quality tool. I’ve had 3 Gerber multi tools in the past and broke the pliers on all doing minimal small jobs. Seemed like a quality control problem. I won’t waste money on them anymore. Leatherman is the only I would buy. Many different styles to fit different needs. Not cheap, but worth the money.Thinking about making a purchase…some multitools do contain too much that is seldom used.
