Here's my favorite multi tools. These two sit on my desk and I use them lightly.
A Leatherman Skeletool CX that is a minimalist and has a pocket clip instead of a case for easy carry. Smaller pliers, 4 screwdriver bits, a bottle opener, caribeaner, a sweet (some are partially serrated) 154 CM blade that is deployed one hand. Made in USA. I have two others and always carry one when I'm working away from the bench.
The other one is the Schrade Tool, also made in the USA. Its a great tool with a full sized pliers, two knives, saw, file, screwdrivers, etc. But you have to find them on eBay and such cause they are no longer made in USA. This one was once owned by Sam The Tool Man, as that was etched into the side of the tool. Its never been used and ended up on eBay, so I bought it. I don't know Sam, but this was given to him for Father's Day 2003 as written on the inside of the case flap. Sam will always be remembered for his exquisite taste in tools. I have three others that I keep in my rigs.
