Both have sprung pliers which i find very comfortable, the Strata has the bonus of replaceable cutters and they actually cut stuff unlike Wingman's. Both sport combo edge blades accesible from outside and more or less one hand opening. I find the Wingman's one more pleasant to the eye if that matters. They both have a sort of package/clamshell opener and they both work but the LMs is definitely better. They both have this short file, maybe the Starta is a bit better. In my opinion the scissors ont the Gerber are better even if shorter, on my Wingman the scissors tend to jam in certain circumstances. I also prefer the cap-lifter on the Strata, the one on the LM tends to pinch caps (i don't know how it works as a can opener). Comparing these two mts we have a rare case where the Gerber has a 3d phillips and the LM a flat one! The Strata sports a saw too, not to be found on the LM which on its side has a very nice pocket clip. The locking/unlocking tabs on the Strata are freaking stiff and quite a pain to use! Even if i like the Strata and i think it's a decent multi i would go for the Wingman if you consider the price! well, that strata has been on my sights for quite a bit of time but the gerber det was way up on my list. i was planning on getting wingman but i'll put that off and get that strata instead :-DSent from my Cruize W280 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

i like gerber's fixed and folding knives, i have 5 of them but if the matter is multitools, the master and the commander of the multitools is leatherman.
