Multi-Tools come in all shapes, sizes, designs, and tool layouts. Picking the right multi-tool for you comes down to what you do most. Are you in the electrical field, fishing guide, AC mechanic, etc. These are hugely important factors to consider when choosing the right multi-tool. For myself, I am fishing as much as possible, so a stainless-steel construction is of the utmost importance. Also, I am always using my Leatherman Super Tool on the water, so having a sheath which is easy to access while I have a fish to de-hook is another critical decision.
These are the top factors to consider when purchasing
your next multitool.

- Warranty. Yes, you’ll see a ton of Leatherman products in our list of Best Multi-Tools, and this is for good reason. The warranty offered by Leatherman is amongst the top. I can vouch for the Leatherman product myself, as I snapped the blade (while fishing, of course) on my Leatherman Supertool after having owned it for over 15 years. I contacted Leatherman, sent it back, and sure enough they sent me a brand new Supertool. This may not be the case every time, but considering a warranty is our top priority. After all when spending close to $100 on a tool, you want to make sure it will last

- Price. Lets face it, you get what you pay for. For the most part that is. There are plenty of $20-40 multi-tools available, but give them a solid month of use and they will either be broken or completely rusted shut. Not like we speak from experience…..

- Functionality. Most multi-tools these days come equipped with the standard pliers, knife, file, etc. However, each multi-tool will be slightly different in that extra tool they offer which may be of value to you. For example the Gerber DET comes equipped with a blasting cap crimper. Those in the military/tactical field may value this more so than the electricians who values a multi-strand wire stripper that the Leatherman 850122 offers. Needless to say, those unique tools for unique users is what sets many of these multi-tools apart from each other.
