  I don&apos;t know, but I have a Swiss Champ, and I can&apos;t leave my house without it. I find it so useful. I have used all of its tools, and I know, at some moment, I will need any of its tools.

  i used the saw once to free a fallen tree - yes, i “chopped” a tree using the small wood saw in the multi tool since i had no choice. the tree fell because of very strong winds during a super typhoon. the tree fel on me and trapped me. i sawed for hours. there was also a time i left my keys inside the house and locked the steel chain padlock when i left. i only noticed i forgot the keys when i was back at the gate. again, i sawed the padlock steel arm until it gave. so yes, you never know when you will use a specific tool you thought you’d never use until you need it…

  My general rule when looking at a new gadget or tool, how often am I going to use it or even need it? I’ve skipped a lot of bad purchases that way. Do I go high end? No, because I work in an office. My tools aren’t taking the same abuse as a tradesman. <br><br>Side note, waiting to see if Gerber will actually honor their warranty for a tool I bought 10 years ago.

  The way I see it is, the reason there are so many different army knives, is because people have different needs. You need to pick out the one that fits you more. Also, if you use all tools all the time, then you don’t need a pocket knife. You need a toolbox.

  I accidentally found a Leatherman wave about 15 years ago and it was really well made i used every tool on it except for the saw and it had a serated one that did its job and better than saw, but it was tough and comfortable to use screwdriver can opener an all were designed to work easier and stronger &nbsp;do to the way the plier was made so just the saw was never used but everything else was very good I still have it till this day, and I learned to read the fine print before any purchase of any materials or tools by a fishing hook made by gamacatsu,. &nbsp;How was simple and I learned the hard way but it cost me 8$ one pack of gamacatsu were the gamacatsu made and assembled in Japan was the original brand that stayed sharp as a brand new needle after close to a dozen uses in structured areas was the best hooks for 3 generations, &nbsp;when I needed a specific hook like octopus I bought 1 pack and I noticed they got dull within 3 times of use so I looked at fine print on back of the package it said made &amp; assembled in Vietnam that was it i realized Japan sold the company to Vietnam and the difference was got dull really &nbsp;quick and was hard as hell to restore &nbsp;the tip sharpness and they cost same price as the original chemical sharpened ones so never assume they looked same that they are because the company sold its product after generations of being &nbsp;the best, &nbsp;like firearms for example original springfield made ,assembled in USA, &nbsp;we&apos;re the highest quality &nbsp;and no flaws, for long proven track record, &nbsp;now all of a sudden the new springfield looked like the same way it looked from the beginning, &nbsp;and those who didn&apos;t read were it was made &amp; assembled, &nbsp;bought a unreliable not close to what they usto be but people were throne off by they gave 4 extra free mags and a nice looking 5 hand gun case with the new model, &nbsp;but the new model was snappy and had no track record &nbsp;because they were made by USA and assembled in Croatia, &nbsp;thats it gotta read were the same trick worked on people that didn&apos;t read the fine print prettymuch got ripped off every time they were made and assembled in 2 different countries is 100% not the same quality i remembered the gamacatsu hooks &nbsp;i paid 80 cents each were cheaper unreliable for a reason 😮 thats all she wrote

  I have the wave Alpha and I honestly use every single tool on that thing I even have the extra bits. I honest to goodness use all of it regularly but then again I don&apos;t sit in an office all day long

  I&apos;m late to the EDC game and you just stopped me from buying a 20 tool brick. You&apos;re right, I have a Rambler (the tiny Philips) and a Cadet. I was looking for a large blade option like a Compact when I came across a ton of reviews for Leatherman, Nextool and host of others and then stumbled on this. Thanks

  I&apos;ve never ever used the ubiquitous bottle opener. Yet they put them on just about every pocket knife. I&apos;ve also never used the corkscrew that Victorinox somehow treats like some kind of sacred trademark.

  Totally agree. I have a PowerPint, and I keep it in a box. It&apos;s a good piece of gear, but the scissors are left handed, and I am not.

  I bought my Leatherman Squirt PS4 in 2010. A mighty little tool that I carry and use constantly for one thing or another. &quot;Limited&quot; tool set that is just right.
