what is your most used multi? is it. your favorite?

Just like just about everyone else here I have several multis ranging from kinda inexpensive to kinda expensive and small to big. My favorite is my surge, but my most used is my camo fuse because it was inexpensive and I don't want to ruin my good tools at work.
What's your most used and is it your favorite?

Most used? That's easy it's my surge for work!  Not a job goes by i dont use it for something. Surge is great, all the genius of a wave in a big heavy duty chassis. I have and will rotate away from surge but it's always a temporary change.

My favourite well that's my... Um... Okay that's not so easy, I'll say charge or spirit I guess. I can appreciate any tool for what they are really. In the words of Def my favourite tool is the one I have with me!


Stay multi my friends

Most used...hands down my Knifeless Fuse. As for my most favorite, I have so many that I cannot select a single one.

I do like to vary what I carry a lot, but most likely it's my Spirit X that gets most use.  Mostly as it is indeed my favourite.  :tu:

My favorite and most-used is my Victorinox Super Tinker.

(Image removed from quote.)

Fantastic SAK, one of the best IMHO.  Mine stays in my bag.

My favorite and most used MT is my Blast.  I have carried a Blast primarily for years now.  I do get other tools and I carry them, but hands down the blast has spent more time on my belt than the rest combined.

M'trusty Huntsman, though I am expecting a Wenger minigrip soon so I'll be carrying that around for a while to see if the novelty remains as long as the Huntsman.

I carry a Camo explorer daily as well, though I haven't used it enough to call it my most used.  My Supertinker has the honor of Most Used SAK.

I really like the explorer sean , although a little chunky for me as a general edc, i prefer my tinker for pocket carry, i dont like carrying too much in my pockets, although ive just been on sakwiki and seen this one   :ahhh

I like the Deluxe tinker, but it's about the same thickness as the Explorer so no real reason for me to switch.

Most used:  LM Micra, SRM763 (has a bottler opener too so it qualifies..)

Loved... really hard to say, possibly whatever is the current newest one I have

Most loved = SAK Explorer
Most used = SAK Explorer (owned it for close on 25 years, and carried way more than any other tool).

This week though, I've given it a little rest in favour of my Super Tinker.

I've also flirted with plier based MT's along the way and of these I would say my favourite is possibly the Blast but it's a close run thing with both of my Swiss Tools?

Least liked, easy. supertool 300. Just don't like it.

Atb, Jon.

My ost carried plier-based tool is the MP450.  I use it more than the rest of my MTs combined.  It's my favorite by a fair margin.  As far as SAKs go, my Executive is on my keys, and there it shall remain.  It's the one constant tool in my pocket.  Nothing's beat it yet IMO.  I have a soft spot for the Tinker, it was my first SAK.  Lately though the Wenger Evo 16 has seen the most pocket time, followed closely by the S557.
There's no such thing as "Too pretty to carry".  There's only "Too pretty NOT to carry"...... >:D

I gotta go with the LM Wave also. Love the pocket clip the puts it deep in a pocket and out of the way. Not too expensive that I would lose sleep if I lost it. Just the right amount of tools to get the job done. And outside opening blades that make carrying a dedicated folder optional.

And of course there is the Leatherman quality.  :)

So, my most used is the Wave.

Favorite is the SOG PowerLock. Just because I can cut pennies in half with my pliers and it impresses people. Plus, everyone I know knows about Leatherman. SOG is different.

Great question.  Many of us here have commented on our favorite MT or the ones that we find most usefu, but I hadn't thought about them being two different tools.

My most used is easy.  I've carried either a Juice S2 or CS4 for about 10 years.  I carry a Juice because they ride in dress pants pockets well and they are very useful, but they do have their shortcomings.

What is my favorite MT?  That is a hard question to answer because I don't collect them.  I will pick up a different model occasionally, but I rarely keep them for very long, so I haven't become attached to any particular model.

I know what you mean,i like the pliers but ill get a champ before i ever got a deluxe tinker, for me the inline phillips sold the explorer to me, plus ive used the magglass lots of times,little things like the little pin (also on my tinker) plus although i never use the CS i do like the little eyegllass driver so its handy for carrying this,  :tu:

The most used one is my first one: the LM Style CS :D Now that I bought the Micra, too, I guess it will quickly catch up :D As for my favourite... I guess the Micra will become the favourite one :D
