Ease of use is a crucial aspect when choosing a multi-tool. SOG, with its Compound Leverage system, ensures easier, more efficient cutting and gripping. Some users may also appreciate the simplicity of SOG’s traditional butterfly opening. It may not include every tool you can find at the hardware store on a busy Saturday morning, but it has enough to see most daily jobs to completion. While SOG impresses with its unique tools and the Compound Leverage system, Leatherman stands out with its exceptional build quality and tool variety. Gerber, with its innovative features and reasonable pricing, also makes a strong case. we have a bottle and can opener which I never understand why they put on multi tool. If you have this in your hand and you can't open a bottle without using the bottle opener you really shouldn't be drink that bottle and can someone tell me when they last used a tin opener on a multi tool . On the other hand, Gerber’s build quality is robust, with most of their multi-tools featuring a stainless steel construction. However, it’s worth noting that Gerber’s emphasis on lighter, more compact designs sometimes leads to compromises in the strength of individual tools. Ease of Use: SOG versus GerberIf that’s the case, can it withstand the force or will it break? Obviously even the best survival multi-tools aren’t invincible, but you want that breaking point to be very high.

A multi-tool that optimizes ergonomics and portability by reducing the tool set to the most important ones for daily use and carry A standard multi-tool is better than nothing if you’re in a bad situation, and there’s a decent amount of overlap when it comes to function. But we wouldn’t trust our lives with it. The functions they have are all highly versatile and useful as well. You might need it for constructing shelter one moment and starting a fire the next. One of the questions we get from time to time is, “what’s the difference between a survival multi-tool and a regular one?” It seems like they’re all pretty much the same at first glance.

At this price point, however, there are some compromises. The lone blade features a hybrid straight and serrated edge made of mid-grade steel, which will require regular sharpening depending on your use. The straight portion is easily reconditioned, but sharpening serrations requires special techniques. Further, that blade is significantly shorter than it needs to be. There is almost a half inch of extra space in the handle that Leatherman conspicuously does not utilize. Overall, you get far more than you pay for with the Leatherman Wingman, including some truly unique features not seen in even high-end models. If you're willing to spend a little more, the Leatherman Skeletool CX offers better ergonomics but fewer functions. If you use a multi-tool for basic tasks but are prone to losing it, the Wingman won't hurt quite as much to replace. Includes serrated blade, can opener, inch rule, needle nose pliers, bolt gripper, soft wire cutter, straight-edge blade, awl, jewelry driver, hook cutter, file, mm rule, magnetic bit holder, wire crimper, bevel gauge, scissors, bottle opener, #1 Phillips. Perfectly sized to go wherever you go, the PowerPint is a portable toolbox for the adventures of daily life. SOG and Gerber multi-tools present their individual approach to tool inclusion and innovation. SOG’s philosophy is to combine traditional tools with unique ones, like V-cutter or blasting cap crimper, which gives their multi-tools an edge with specific user groups such as outdoor enthusiasts or even military personnel. The pliers deploy smoothly and with even friction. We have come to expect this super-smooth pliers action on SOG tools. The PowerAccess Deluxe has mechanically advantaged pliers much like we have tested extensively on other SOG tools. We notice at least a little greater holding power from pliers like this.
