Oh man, not one of these threads again....I could go on for a long time rambling about various factors I would consider for such a choice I'll have to come back later when I have more time
Oh man, not one of these thread again........
Ugh. I can't really answer this. I live a "double life" 1. Hospital pathologist (10-12 hours/day): In this role, my MT would be my Cybertimer 41 (Cybertool 41 with Timekeeper scales). It's a total winner. My light is a small Prometheus Beta QR, which rides on my keys. It's all I need at work and commuting to and from home. Separate knife isn't necessary or wanted. Instead I substitute a OPT, and in this case it would be an Atwood Ghost. This has been my EDC for months now.2. Horse Farmer/Farm laborer: (The rest of my life): On the farm, I need a real tool. Lately, I've been carrying a Wenger minigrip, which has been extremely good. The only place where the Leatherman Charge has a slight edge, is that the Leatherman has a larger pliers head. If I'm still allowed use of dedicated tools when needed, I would go with the Wenger minigrip BECAUSE it takes standard 1/4 bits and carries 6 bits at a time. On the farm, my Zebralight headlamp would be my choice. It's bullet proof.Knife would likely be my Spyderco Captain, although my CRKT stubby Razel has been my goto knife lately.

The Minigrip has knocked the ALX off the top spot? How are you choosing to carry it? Found a suitable sheath?
Straight up pocket carry. Left front. I've been in insulated coveralls so left front pocket of them. The pliers are excellent, but a little smaller and I'm not as keen to use them as a prybar ONLY because I know it will eventually break them and I know it can't be sent in for repair, per se.The bits are fantastic. standard 1/4 inch bits and 50% more bits in onboard storage. Saw and file too. It's a great design.
My first thought was my WAVE but................. that's mostly due to work reasons. Like Mr W I'd need to have a work and off day tool I think.Wave would cover my work needs paired with Olight I3sOffday I could easily get on with my Swisschamp and same light.
