Hello everybody,
my first post here, along the years I bought a few Leatherman tools, they are sure nice to the eye and a decent quality, mosto of mine have gone when somebody showed interest and gave them as a present, last one I gave is a Skeletool, nice size, nice array of tools, not the best blade, not the best finish but overall worth the money, I gave the last one a few weeks ago and have a brand new one I bought as an extra as I know that sooner or later somebody sees it and "ohhhh, how nice..."
I aldo have a Victorinox but it's huge, I take it with me now in a shoulder bag (I always walk around with a bag to store a camera, an extra lens, paperwork and some form of tool but even in a bag the Swiss multitool is a burden and has lot of stuff I'll never need nor to mention the necessity to use nails to activate some tools doesn't suit me) , too big.
Got my son a few years ago a Leatherman with a single blade and a carabineer if that's the correct name, very pretty, not the best iron but I dunno personally as he has it.
The size of the Skeletool is fine, tools are enough, to me a good blade in case I have to cut even a rope (I go boating every day in summer as part of my job), a flat and cross screwdriver and something to cut an iron wire just in case, pliers meh, can be or not there not a necessity so far but ok if don't make the tool too big and if durable.
I am not aware of other brands nor about kind of iron used bla bla bla, I know the Skeletool in the 70-80$ range, I don't mind spending a little more but I want it durable, pleasant to the eye, a finish which won't fade and without whistles and bells, do you have at least any other brand to look at?
Grazie
