Can /diy/ recommend me some good quality pocket multitools? More or less so similar to a swiss army knife

You can find all that you want here. (I think)

I have a Leatherman Fuse. I love it, though they retired it this year. I have a leather belt holster for it.

Do you carry a knife separate from the Leatherman, or do you fee like it replaces it?

i am not >>266791 but, i carry a leatherman wave, and i do have another blade (utility knife) as the leatherman blade is stainless steel.

Forgive my ignorance, but....stainless steel - why do you carry another blade because of that?

I'm not terribly knowledgeable about knives.

Not your guy, but stainless steel doesn't sharpen as nicely as carbon steel.

On the flip side, it doesn't rust as readily as carbon steel

I carried a fuse, crunch, and squirt with me for almost half a decade. Still have them kicking around, but I've replaced them with a toolbag full of high quality tools now that I'm not running around all day.

I still reach for them when I notice a loose screw. You're probably going to fuck up all the screw bits if you use them regularly at all.

Gerber or Leatherman OP. Spend some money, buy what you actually need/use since there's different tools included.

I just find they get lost or misplaced moving around so much. Now I've just assembled specific little tool sets for whatever I'm doing(car, motorcycle, outdoors-camping, boating, etc).

... But it doesn't sharpen or hold an edge as nicely as a high carbon steel.
