My multi tool is usually a SAK deluxe tinker, occasionally a cybertool. I’ve used all the tools, though realistically I could get by fine without the parcel hook and one of the blades. Pliers are the most useful.

I have a Spirit MX for a more “proper” multi tool, but it lives in my work bag and doesn’t get used much.

I don’t use the pliers much personally, so that’s why I don’t carry pliers based multitool.

So that really leaves me with SAKs, and realistically I majorly only use the scissors. I just find it more useful in my life than a blade.

Technically where I am at a knife is just illegal to carry, period. We can get away with a small SAK but otherwise it has to be “for convincing reasons”. I ain’t gonna gamble talking to police and convince them shit.

So other than SAKs genuinely I’ve been interested in scissors based multi tools and roxon and nextool do have them.

Although I have to say the mini pliers of the nextool mini flagship I usually use as a beefed up tweezers lol. And I did occasionally used the 2D Phillips driver and big flat head to tighten a couple of screws here and there.

Realistically only pliers and maybe knife. I carry a miniature tool like that when cycling, but I have some proper tools with me as well

99% of the time I’m either using the pliers or flathead/philips screwdriver.

Gerber dime, have used everything. Would like something a bit tougher though, the “Phillips head” screwdriver is bent sideways out of shape.

I carry the Leatherman Wave with a pocket clip and most of my usage is the pliers and knife. However, I’ve used 100% of the rest of the tools at some point or another.

Leatherman squirt ps4, 100% of “9” tools (I think they count the both sides of the file separately). I’ve had 2, sequentially living on my keychain since 2018 I think. It works in a pinch and usually saves me a walk to get a better tool. It pairs nicely with an olight i1r micro light for the same reasons.

All of them, though the knife blades, files, drivers, and main tool scissors or pliers depending on the individual tool) obviously get the real use.

My pocket carry is a crkt mini jobber with scissors, a can/bottle opener, a file with two sides, Phillips and straight drivers, knife blade, and a SIM tool (the original reason I picked this model) and the main tool is scissors.

My bag carry is a victorinox with the usual assortment and pliers as the main. It gets used less often, but I’ve had it long enough that even the awl has been used multiple times. Obviously, the pliers are the most used, with the drivers and file being next most.

I actually have a second, smaller tool in my pocket pouch that I’ve had for around twenty years. It’s a no name thing I can’t even remember where or when I got. It’s just a handful of tools on a single hinge, folds down to smaller than a matchbox. It actually works really well at the size, but my hands are giant so it can be a pain in the ass when doing anything that takes a process rather than something like just tightening a loose screw. But I’ve used all of its tools multiple times over the years.

I use everything on mine. Some cheapie I bought on Amazon. I initially got it thinking I’d upgrade if I liked it but it hasn’t broken yet so it’s hard to pul to the trigger on the Leatherman I want

On serious days I have a leatherman surge, and I’ve used everything on it many times over, including the bit sets and swappable file/saw. I have a tiny AJ, a short Sharpie, and a little (importantly) gold inspection torch that all fit in the sheath/holster thing, along with a couple of lock picks and some wire.

On normal days I have a knife and a torch, and that gets me quite a long way
