Lezyne SV10 Multi Tool

The best multi tool by a long shot

Advantages: countless features crammed into a strong compact multitool
Disadvantages: pricey

I work as a female technician, and a multi tool is an absolute must for me in my line of work and it is widely known that leatherman is the industry standard that is known for its durable and practical multi tools. The charge is the top of the leatherman multi tool family, and it has a pretty heft price tag to match. It is worth every penny! I have had mine for three years, using it on a daily basis and it is still as good as new! These tools come with a 25 year guarantee too, and you can send them back to be sharpened properly if they blunt at all. ( I have made use of this service , and it is very efficient. ) The tool is compact, and comes with a belt pouch made of thick durable leather. It includes a massive collection of tools which I have listed below; - S30V Stainless Steel Clip-point Knife - 420HC Serrated Knife ...

Review of Leatherman Charge Ti Multi-Tool

GERBER 800 MULTI TOOL - DON'T BUY ANYTHING ELSE

Advantages: Strong, reliable, spring-loaded pliers, rust proof
Disadvantages: Scissors have small cut size

Being a military man, I have had both a LEATHERMAN© and a GERBER© in the last 10 years, so am in a position to speak with authority on both. The Leatherman is a good tool. However, the Gerber 800 puts it in the shade. Gerber make several models of multitool, but I chose the 800 because it is the most robust and useful in terms of tools provided. It's official colour is 'champagne', I prefer to think of it more as 'light bronze'!!!! The 800 has 18 features, each of which has been thought out to be of ACTUAL use rather than fantasy use. What I mean is, how many of us have found ourselves needing to get a stone out of a horses hoof, whilst needing to get a splinter out of our hand with tiny tweezers whilst trying to measure a 4-inch fish? I've put the specifications at the end so that you can see everything it's got, but I ...

Review of Gerber Tool

The do it all gadget that has it all!

Advantages: Huge range of functions. Modern and striking looks. Lockable feature.
Disadvantages: reasonably hefty and bulky

This looks more like a transformer than a multitool and is just as impressive! It has just about every function you could wish for including knives, a saw, pliers, bottle opener, can opener, screw drivers (philips and crosshead) and a couple of things that I haven't even been able to figure out yet! It just cries out that you are a real king of DIY and have lived in the woods for years... All these features do come at a cost though, although financially it is in my opinion excellent value the unit is quite bulky and indeed heavy. It is not something that you throw into your pocket and forget about. It does however come with a useful case that slips onto your belt. One excellent feature of the Gerber Suspension Multi Tool is that all the tools are fully lockable so there will be no more cuts as the knife snaps shut on your finger ...
