Tools every multitool nut should have...

What tools to do you think every multitool nut should own?

A few months back the SwissTool/Spirit was the only tool on the list. Considering the amount of threads dedicated to the SURGE lately, should we add it to the list?

Better get the spelling correct 665ae,

SURGE!

Right Leahterman 123?

When's the second exclamation mark getting added?

Every multitool nut absolutely must have an old Leatherman PST. It's right there in the bylaws, page 7, section 3.

Get a used/broken in Old Wave if you're just getting into multi's...Great mixture of simplicity and innovation!

Haha... when I typed that, I had actually typed SURGE!!!... but the exclamation points looked strange in the middle of the sentence. I'll make sure it doesn't happen again!

I'd have to say thePST II,old school yes,but a great mix of tools,pocket friendly,and low profile.

ducktapehero · **Reply #11 on:** January 22, 2008, 04:11:35 AM

A roll of duck tape. THAT is the one multi-tool everyone should have.

I'd agree that the pst should definately be on the list. Two other tools I'd be sorely tempted to add would be the micra and the supertool. The micra becuase it is a handy scissor tool that is fairly robust(at least to me) for its size. The origional supertool becuase it helped introduce the idea of locking blades and the tool selection seemed to set the standard for most other tools by leatherman and of other companies that came after it.

WhichDawg · **Reply #14 on:** January 22, 2008, 06:49:21 AM

for me, a sweet combo/switch-off is the Spirit and or a Farmer (so nice and small in the pocket).

edap617 · **Reply #15 on:** January 22, 2008, 06:57:53 AM

For me, a Leatherman Wave.

Speaking of which, the PST II! (Better file)

I am serious. Every MT user should have a cheap set of long screwdrivers. If your MT fails to reach some deeply buried screws, you can always use the long screwdrivers to save the day.

Sending it this week!

Multitool nuts must have-
A soldier, a PST, a MPT, a Swisstool, a supertool, and Old Wave(this list oddly coincides with my wants list)

Benner · **Reply #19 on:** January 22, 2008, 11:18:17 AM

Has to be the PST and the Original Supertool, but I would say a true nut should have a Gerber with the flick out pliers. Everyone should have had a go with them.

J-sews · **Reply #22 on:** January 23, 2008, 02:26:51 AM

I'd say that a multitool nut should strive to have at least one representative from the big four plier-tool companies;

Gerber
Leatherman
SOG
Victorinox

You bet Mike!

The LM Surge I believe is the tool every multitool enthusiast should own! If I could only have one tool it would be the LM Surge.. I think I will make a post on that!

BIG-TARGET · **Reply #25 on:** January 23, 2008, 02:05:12 PM

I think every multi-tool(SAKs included) should have 1-2 of these for backup.

Peter makes some nifty things, but I will save my money. I really cant justify the cost.

Another trend setter, the Sideclip. It's the one that started the clip fad with multitools. The Wave, Charge, Kick, etc., all owe their clips to the Sideclip. Every multi-nut should have one of these.
