1. Sideclip
2. Pulse
3. PST

But it’s really hard to choose, KF4 gets honorable mention.

Mine is an odd list. 

Squirt EL; the OG made for Radio Shack. Yeah, I didn't say P4. The EL is just right for those of us who mess with anything electronic, and really small. Whether it be trains, RC, slot cars, or me trying to fix a PC; it's there. Strips wire for connections, has drivers that fit all the screws my RC cars, locomotives, and slot cars use, as well as having a file, knife blade, tweezers, and "super tweezers" (the fuse grippers at the end of the strippers) for the other tasks.
Rebar. Barely bigger and heavier than the old PST, but heavier duty, locking, and has saw and serrated blade. Honestly, why carry a Super Tool 300?
PST. Keep it Simple, Stupid!

OG Wave
Pulse
Charge + G10

I have tried, and tried to warm up to the current Wave. I had bought a 1999 Wave not long before Lowe's was clearing Waves for like $35 to make way for the (then new) Wave+; and then I did buy a Wave from 2017.  Even if I have to use a sheath, I prefer the old one. The nylon sheaths Leatherman made back then are miles ahead of today's too.  I prefer having the drivers I actually use as being regular fold-out drivers and not bits. I also prefer the fixed small screwdriver that doesn't snap every time I need it.

1. Original Wave ... No bits, integrated wire cutters
2. Micra .... Could be an EDC and fly solo these days... Until I need a full size blade
3. Skeletool KBX... I have a few skeletool knives, but the KBX in tan wins because of the color

I don’t know what it is. Maybe the slim feel or the awesome scissors. Maybe the aggressive file, or the seemingly superior tools. I truly believe that the OG Wave was Leatherman’s greatest tool. Sure, it could have had an awl. It’s still the tool that I love most and is the foundation for all future ingenuity. Beast

Wave
Juice CS4
Supertool

The original Supertool just feels so right in the hand and around the house my new fave (not had it that long)

Did a 30 day Juice challenge a few months ago and it did absolutely everything I needed it to, also the MT I’ve travelled with the most and has always been awlsome, tackling everything thrown at it

But my 15+ year old BO Wave is just superb and would be my choice if I was only allowed one MT for the rest of my life and what I’d choose for the zombie apocalypse :)

Honourable mention to Squirt P4 and Skeletool but not in same league

Good thread! Lots of good picks didn’t see any I didn’t like.
I think Alcohol, Tabacco and Firearms should be a convenience store, not a government agency.

That's hard, like which one is your favorite kid  :D I love them all for different reasons, but for the fun of it, let's try. Here are mine :

- the Super Tool 300 for the toughness and the utility of the tools in it. Wish it didn't have 3 flat heads though.
- the Wave for being the perfect middle ground between the heavier working-man tools and an EDC-able tool. The add-on pocket clip really helps it in that regard
- the Rebar for being a small, compact (even a bit smaller than the Wave) and lighter weight but still tough enough to do the job.

Squirt P4 - my EDC as it is small and very pocketable
Crunch - when you need locking pliers nothing else will do
Charge TTi  - it just feels nice in my hand

1. Wave, second gen. - I tried to love the Charge, but the added width, weight and feel just didn't suit me :shrug: And Wave with bit kit offers anything one might need in a multi and with great tools at that

2. Pulse - honestly one of the best pocket sized MT Leatherman ever made. I'm very sorry they discontinued it and more people didn't get to experience it

3. Juice CS4 - great mid sized tool with decent capabilities, yet still not too bulky, love the Juice line, I was thinking about the S2, and SC2 for a slimmer tool but the CS4 just offers that much in a not much wider format. Again regretfully disco'd.

The Mini, Skele, Squirt line get honorable mention but for the top 3 I'd go for more tool density and EDCability.  :tu:

I'm surprised the Crunch and Rebar didn't get mentioned more, they seem to have a good fan base here. Never tried any of them though, the Crunch I have no need for, and once the Rebar came out I already had plenty of MT, and now can't bring myself to pay the current prices when I know it was $35 new when it came out and I didn't buy it :facepalm:

 :think:

This is a tough one. I have over 400 Leatherman tools to chose from.

Here are the ones I use the most so I guess these are my favourites based on my users.

1. Knifeless Fuse. My trusty work companion for many years.
2. MUT. One of the best range tools out there. Some Real Avid gear comes close but have not displaced the MUT in my gear bag yet.
3. Core. I have 1 extra for use duty. At first, I was not all that keen on its design, but with use over the years my appreciation for the Core has grown.

I find the original Wave has too many flat screwdrivers to float my boat.
