What's Your 1,2,3?
on: June 30, 2011, 03:42:57 AM
I did some searching, and it looks like it's been over a year since there has been a "What's your favorite" thread, so I thought that I would start a new one with a little twist.

What are your top three favorite MT's (sorry no knives) in order, and why if you feel like saying?

For me it's:
  • Leatherman Core, because, well, it is a Core after all. :multi:
  • Leatherman Wave, the reason in two words: One hand  :tu:
  • Vic Classic, perhaps someday Leatherman will have a toothpick... :dd:

1. Leatherman Charge ALX  Handiest tool I own.
2. Cybertimer 41 Great tool for at work and it has an analog clock.
3.  It's a tie: Wenger S557 and Leatherman Kf4.  It's a tossup.  I love the small alligator wrench, locking blade and the slip joint pliers  BUT I also love the diamond file in the small Juice format.

1. SOG Powerlock: Compound leverage and interchangeable tools... I'm a happy camper!
2. Leatherman Charge Ti: My favourite Charge
3. Leatherman Blast: This is my regular EDC workhorse.

Skeletool CX is number one for me. :salute: It just fits my needs better than any other tool out there. :)



After that its about a hundred-way tie for second and third. :D

At work my top three would be Leatherman ST 300, PS4, SOG Powerlock. The rest of the time   :think:  I`ve got to many to play with to make my mind at the moment. But the Skeletool CX would most likely be one of them.    :)
What? Enablers! Are you serrrrious? Where? I dont see any.

1. Spirit X; it's just the most tool dense, comfortable and well made MT I own.  Near perfect for me.
2. Huntsman; still the definitive SAK to my child-like mind. :D
3. Pulse; still one of the most aesthetically pleasing MTs Leatherman ever made, compact an comfortable. :)

1. Victorinox Skipper. Because it was the 1st MT I had ever owned.
2. Leatherman SuperTool 200. Because it was my 1st Leatherman, and because it is just a great tool.
3. Leatherman Pulse. A great slim compact MT with a good selection of tools.

1) Spirit 2010 RT - WOW, just WOW!!!
2) SAK (hard to choose which - don't think I've quite hit the right one yet TBH)
3) .... I think I crashed!

Battling for third place:

Vic Swisstool, LM Wave, SOG PPP, Wenger Swissgrip

All nominated for different reasons ... and that's the problem  :doh:

1)LM Wave 2
2)Vic Astronaut SAK
3)LM PST

Even tho I dont edc either of the LMs anymore,they both engender trust and have the feel of quality that cant be beaten.The Astronauts I've made a number of other posts about,but in short have a near perfect tool set,lacks nothing and avoids being unwieldy
There is no beginning,or ending,and for this we are thankful,cos now is hard enough to understand!

1: LM Charge TTI: Great combination of form and function, versatile and classy.
2: LM Skeletool CX: Great EDC, easily handles my most common tasks.
3: LM Pulse: Compact, highly functional. I'd carry it more, but I need to get one or two more as insurance first.  :D

1. Vic SwissTool Spirit X: so many tools in such a compact frame and at a stunning build quality
2. LM Charge TTi: premium blade steel, OHO implements, great tool array, and LMs warranty
3. Vic SwissTool X: same reasons as (1), only in a larger frame (plus ruler)

1.) Wave- always handy and reliable every day at work. OHO blades are awesome. Cheaper than a charge and almost the same (ish)

2.) Micra- my first leatherman. Proven design. Handy like a vic classic.

3.) Crunch- i just like it. acquired for 10 bucks!

1. LM Supertool 300. Ir rides in my EDC truck tool kit. It does everything a Multi Tool was meant to.
2. LM Juice PS4. It's always on my keyring, so it's always there.
3. LM Kick. When it's not my SAK Super Tinker in my pocket, it's a Kick.

oh decisions decisions...

1. swisschamp - my 2nd oldest sak (11 years now), with so much tools available on a yet comfortable design
2. charge al - one handed, nice blade, tough, usable and practical form
3. minichamp - the small factor swisschamp; if it had some mini pliers and got rid of some useless tools would be my favourite

Hmmm, tough call....

1) Vic Executive - Always on my keys. Wherever I go, it goes, and has proven its worth a million times over.
2) Vic Super Tinker - My ideal EDC large SAK.
3) Skeletool - After carrying and using it for a while, I can't figure out how I managed to get by without pliers for so long!
There's no such thing as "Too pretty to carry".  There's only "Too pretty NOT to carry"...... >:D

Well I guess I'd have to base it on my EDC and what's readily available to me at all times. 
  • Victorinox MiniChamp (newer style) is my main EDC in pocket at all times
  • Victorinox Explorer goes with me in brief case and is in pocket if I know I'll need something more durable
  • Leatherman SuperTool (original always in the car)
I usually get by with the MiniChamp though...would be nice if Victorinox came out with a mini-plier for the MiniChamp!
