I'm carrying a Gerber Radius these days.

Footer, you forgot the discontinued KF4.

I know there is a strong Gerber camp here but I'm decidedly a Leatherman fan.

I'm just gonna say I might own more multi's and knives than I care to casually admit.

I'm with you. I use a Letherman Kick. It's simple but does everything I want it to do.

[Q10:1 tools are passay now, Klein has the 11:1 tool now. Bought a few recently but don’t remember what one extra thing was added but it is the Sciznit.



Anyway I have now a McMaster Carr Bear Claw multi-tool with Tools for Stagecraft shief for it. Much more useful. Not locking blades which isn’t good but also the Klien utility kinfe on the same work belt. Decent enought slotted or Phillips tips, pliers are short and wire cutters are also short in not being great - blades are sharp but not locking but what I most often need is the wire sripper and wire gauging tool it has other multi tools don’t. I don’t carry about a wire stripper with me, this tool has a good wire sripper as a good advantage.

Various tools, smaller tip and cutter but wire stripper that’s useful to me. Not locking but sharp blades also.

I prefer Leatherman because they have a great warrenty and I have never had issue with them yet, plus made in USA.

Gerber is now made of lower quolity steel 440 and thus is not as derable.

btw you left our SOG in which I hear good things about but never have used one.
