First of all, thanks to everybody for the friendly welcome.Very kind !Quote from: noth on April 10, 2009, 01:21:35 AMWelcome to the forum dude. As others will also tell you, it all depends on what you plan to do with that tool. If it's just strong pliers and screwdrivers you need you might be better off with exactly that: a strong pair of pliers and a good bit driver plus bits, without the whole multitool hype (and money spending). If you also want can/bottle openers, a blade, scissors, being pocketable, etc., things start to blur. The Wengergrip, for example, is about as strong a pair of pliers as you can get on a multitool, but it's far from being pocket-friendly. There are other much slimmer packages but they all have their pros and cons. Do you have any idea what the intended use will be? Local laws is another big factor; if for example you can't carry a locking blade, your options start to diminish.Noth,The objective is :1) I want just one tool I can carry in the glove boxe. It will be used for everything. As I already do with my EDC knife.2) I like well made knives and it is the occasion to have a well made multitool. In terms of knife I have a Greco folder which is, for the people that know a bit the knife world a very strong and usefull knife and I am loocking the equivalent in multitool. That's was my thoughts when I was talking about pliers and screwedrivers. Those items are just on the top of my list. Of course if I can have extra things like a saw it could be cool, but I don't think I will use it a lot, maybe once. So I don't care if the tool is beautifull or not, I am loocking for the strongest tool that fit into my frame : fixed/folding pliers (I have a preference for the fixed one like the Sog Toolclip or the Al Mar 4*4 for they don't have multi screwdrivers and are discountinued ; I like this kind of ugly tool), multi screwdrivers. I am a kind of beast with my thing, I will use them for everything. That's the way I like to use my stuff..As for the knife, I want also the item itself and not only a pair of pliers and a screwdriver. I hope I am enough clear.
