I have a hard time deciding...

Spirit, Farmer, Workchamp, probably.

I might be back with a couple other combos

Well the challenge/title doesn't say three of what you have to pick
So I guess so

Painless decision for me right now, as I only have spirit, manager and squirt p4. Two edc tools and spirit for everything else.

Surge, charge tti, cybertools would be cool but I haven't found much actual use for bit driver recently. And as for swappable parts, I rather have compactly designed tool that I can send for repair if something breaks. Diamond file, OHO etc I'd just have to live without. Cybertool is awkward size and for that size it should have bettrr pliers... So that's how I come down to to those three.

Very nice choices. What do you like about the spirit?

Korpi · **Reply #66 on:** May 10, 2015, 03:14:00 PM

I find it's just throughly thought out and precisely engineered, moreso than many other tools. Only problem is that for a tool to be used it looks like precious silverware inherited from dead grandmother. If you want one, I recommend buying two, a regular one that you damage right away somehow, and black oxide one that you can obsessively polish and play with secretly in your mancave, while listening to classical music.

Demel · **Reply #71 on:** June 22, 2015, 03:10:59 AM

I must recant. After receiving a spirit x today I do believe it will forever stay in rotation. So.......

The new 3

Spirit
Skeletool
Signature

PERFECTION!!!!!!!!!

claws42 · **Reply #72 on:** June 22, 2015, 04:30:14 AM

Wave, Style CS, Huntsman.

Think that leaves me with just about every tool I might need.

campussecurity · **Reply #73 on:** June 22, 2015, 06:37:42 PM

Wave, Spirit, Swisschamp.

This is easy for me - Rebar, Powerlock 2.0 and PST II - my 3 favorites

sir_mike · **Reply #77 on:** June 23, 2015, 03:53:45 AM

Let's see! For me I guess it would be the following.

Leatherman Surge (latest model)
Vic Ranger
Vic Spirit X

strmliner · **Reply #78 on:** June 23, 2015, 07:52:13 AM

Tough decision, but doable...

- Gerber Strata
- Vic Yeoman
- Gerber Shortcut

Vic Swisstool Spirit X, Vic Explorer Plus, and Vic Manager.

During the work week, I'd carry the Manager. On most weekends, I'd carry the Explorer, and on heavier work times, the Spirit would get the call. Or maybe leave it in the car's glove box.

Tough call between the Manager and the Rambler; pen and tweezers are about the same usefulness level to me, but with a slight advantage to the pen.

I've got a LM Surge, but I think I prefer the Spirit's externally accessible tools to the Surge's one-hand accessible knife blade.

I've got a few three-year SAKs, but I always feel like I'm missing something from them. Not so with the Explorer.

av8r1 · **Reply #82 on:** July 04, 2015, 06:30:48 AM

Skeletool, Style ES, and Wave. Easy enough.

I've been carrying the ES lately in school, and with all the electrical work I've had, it's great.

Demel · **Reply #83 on:** February 07, 2016, 03:37:21 AM

Going on a necro rampage

revisiting this concept I must admit my three have changed

It's tough...as of now I would go with Spirit X, Switchplier, and Style. Reasoning: none

more about this on the next episode of Demel's Musings!

sLaughterMed · **Reply #84 on:** February 07, 2016, 04:05:22 AM

Oooo this ones a toughie....
I think id go with my Almost Bladeless Rebar, Victorinox CyberTool 34, and Black & White Blunt Nosed MP600

Wow. This wasn't that long ago, but my preferences are already different

In the past, I would have never submitted my "final 3" without my Octane. Since my initial picks, though, I have acquired the SwitchPlier 2.0, which has replaced the Octane for my off-duty pocket carry. And then I also got my mighty PowerLock. Both SOGs have been customized to my preference. And most recently, I got a Vic Explorer and it rides in a pocket so well. Small and light, but with a great compliment of well designed tools. I've only had it a few days but I really enjoy carrying it.

1. SOG PowerLock
2. SOG SwitchPlier 2.0
3. Vic Explorer

I still love my initial 3, but since August 2015 my situation has changed, lol

That's how I felt too. I'm glad now I never had to downsize so much. I'll have a new list by the morning.

rishardh · **Reply #87 on:** February 07, 2016, 07:32:47 AM

I started recently and only have LMs to choose from at this point. This will change for sure as I get others.

Surge BO Camo
Signal
Micra

ThePeacent · **Reply #88 on:** February 07, 2016, 01:02:05 PM

Maybe the BN MP600 would have to be switched by the Vic Spirit, but I'd be very comfortable having only these 3 for the rest of my life...
