I think the new poll software worked out quite well, and I like the graphic.

Also, I think each tool did reasonably well, and accurately mirrored what we see in our discussions here.  The great thing is, it wasn't limited to forum members, and was in fact advertised on Facebook and Twitter as well. 

It has been suggested in the past that our members, the serious enthusiasts may have different tastes than the people at large, but I believe that isn't the case and this poll seems to prove that.

We just focus on the like and dislike of tools more than the regular public does :D More vocal about it I guess you could say :D

was that really going to surprise anyone?

Considering everyone has been begging Victorinox for years to get an ALOX knife with scissors, no, it should really come as no surprise to anyone that it won by a landslide.

I wonder how, if at all, the voting would have changed if people only got one vote? And, I need a pioneer x  ;) :D

I also voted only X, even its not perfect for me.From these tools I only got the X, walker, reactor, powerplay and RX and I dont want to vote tools I have no experience with.

RX didnt deserve vote as I liked CX more and Walker I have minimal amount of carry so far.

Powerplay is bad so is Reactor.

I think 2016 was pretty limited MT year overall, but I will check out that Center Drive some day.

I would have more than likely voted for the Pioneer X if I only had one vote :think:

I would have more than likely voted for the Pioneer X if I only had one vote :think:

We tried the one vote thing for the first Multitool Of The Year (which also was a Victorinox model!) but folks complained that one vote didn't allow them to choose the best keychain, the best heavy duty tool, the best EDC tool, the best speSmurfpillsed tool etc.  In the end it was easier to give everyone several votes so they can pick multiple "best" tools based on the criteria they thought made the best multitool.

I was glad to have more than one vote as it made me feel as though my vote counted :dd: Plus it made me be able to vote for other things I liked as well :cheers: :cheers:
