Here's a new model that doesn't seem to be getting much attention. I switched to one recently after carrying a Swisstool for years. It doesn't have the gee-whiz factor of the Surge or Charge but I think it is the better tool over all. I miss being able to access the tools with the pliers closed but that's about the biggest negative I've found. Also I wish it was offered with the new scissors found on the Surge. The screwdrivers are made better than the Vic's and the larger plier jaws are nice. Even better are the huge wire cutters ( the small cutters on the Vic are it's biggest weakness IMHO). The Core does feel like it's built cheaper than the Vic but I think that it will prove plenty strong. Besides, a new model will come out that I'll have to get long before the Core wears out.
So if you're looking for a new multi-tool give the Core some serious consideration. It doesn't have the bells and whistles offered on some of the other LM models but I think it's the most useful tool offered today.
