What LM charge do you guys prefer?

I prefer the TTi because it simply combines them. I like to have scissors, a guthook, and a fixed flat screwdriver on my multi, and a crimper.

My favorite of the five (Ti, XTi, TTi, Al, AlX) is currently the Ti. I like the 154 CM and don't need anything more brittle or harder to sharpen. ;) I like the "inside" tool setup. I like the crimper-less pliers. And I like the Titanium, probalby just because it's cool. ::) The only thing I might trade if I could would be adding the gut-hook on the serrated blade, but I'm not always sure about that one, so I'm happy as it is. :)

Same here. I'm carrying the Ti at work most days.

I've been carrying the TTi for about 6 months now, and I cannot go to work without it! 

As an electrician, I like the crimper and the crimper has not taken away any performance of the pliers that I can see.  Never had a problem with it.

I also like the fixed flat head when I really need to bear down on a stuck lug.

I also have a Ti, but that's my back-up multi-tool that's in my glove box of my SUV.

Just curious here, what exactly do you use the crimper for?

Since I am a cop I don't really use one. But when I go freshwater fishing I use them for split shot. I go salsmurfer fishing a lot more and use it to crimp the crimping sleeve..

I dont have a Charge yet.  I like the Ti models so well that if I get one soon that will be the one that I will get.  Nothing against Aluminum but I like Ti a lot better for no other reason than the look.

I know I am OT here but what type of salsmurfer fishing do you do?  I have always wanted to go fishing on the Flats for bonefish and permit.  I tried to sell the idea to my wife as a honeymoon option but it did not take. :)

I like the Ti, too.  I am big fan of the 154cm, since it is not too brittle.  I also carry a Sebenza, so the blade on my Ti is my "beater" knife.  I don't even hesitate and simply cut, stab, and slash at stuff, even around metal.  I have had no problems with chipping at all.  Truth be told, if I had to pick one to carry, I would have to pick the LM over a dedicated knife.  It is that good/useful.  I literally remodeled a bathroom with Ti.  Used it for EVERYTHING.  It held up very well, but was beat.  Sent it into LM for a makeover....well, you know how that story ends.......new tool!

My first post!!! Hey guys.

I only have two Charges, the TTi and an ALX , but I usually always choose the TTi. I like the selection of tools on the TTi slightly better, plus it worked smoother then the ALX right out of the box, no sticky implements at all or stiff pliers. And last but maybe not least, the titanium IMO is just nice to look at :)

well I'll be getting the Ti pretty soon thanks to a savvy member here (thanks bro)! I live in the PNW usa and we get a lot of rain here, and I would like some resistance on my multi-tool for it. A gut hook would be nice but I think I'd rather have a separate tool for that (smelly). I've always wanted a Ti and now.... :D
