Anyone else EDC more than one multi-tool?

My EDC is a Leatherman Wingman, CRKT "Guppie" and a 4 blade Marbles Scout/Camping/Utility knife. (I suppose the Marbles counts as a multi-tool; has a can opener, long flat blade screwdriver with cap lifter, leather punch/awl, and spear point knife blade.)

The Guppie's adjustable wrench and bit driver comes in handy, and I prefer its wharncliffe blade to that 1/2 serrated thing on the Leatherman ... I detest serrated blades ...

When using the Leatherman, the pliers and surprisingly, that package opener get used most often.

The Marbles has the punch/awl I need, and that can opener is hard to beat.

Most of my cutting tasks are taken care of by either my Buck 301 stockman or the Buck 110 I EDC with the multi-tools.

Always two; one full sized, the other a keychainer attached to a microlight in my 5th pocket. Each varies according to the day's expectations, but one complements the other. I've been doing this almost 20 years.
 
I carry a leatherman on my belt or cargo pocket, and a victorinox classic on the keychain. With my flashlight and pocket knife included i have everything i use on a daily basis.
 
Not usually. Most days it's a Tinker or Farmer in addition to a locking folder, or just the Farmer.

Rarely carry two tools. I love Leatherman tools and own quite a few, but rarely find I need a plier based tool.
 
Leatherman classic on my belt since 1994. Vic Farmer in a sheath on the opposite hip. The Leatherman is my down n dirty workhorse and the Farmer is for less abusive tasks - ie; cutting, bottle opening, small scews, etc. between those two I'm prepared for most general light tasks that life brings.
 
As the two first posters, I always carry minimum a Full-Size MT and pocket knife (usually a Wave, Gerber MP, Vic Spirit or ST300) and a Vic Classic on the Keychain. My Micra is sometimes riding in the bottom of my pocket, and I just leave it there. It comes in very handy some times and it doesn't bother me at all where it is.

Pics for your enjoyment:

I will always carry a dedicated cutter with me, so I view the small multitool as augmenting the pocket knife. So I always carry two in that respect.

I usually EDC a Tinker Swiss Army Knife in a cellphone holster along with my phone when I am at home.

But when I am in my wheelchair out and about in town I EDC the following tools in my fanny pack Tinker SAK a Leatherman Super Tool 300 and a Classic SAK
 
Victorinox Executive, every day. Victorinox Spirit on my belt, almost every day. Occasionally also carry either a Vic Spartan or a Pioneer in my L cargo pocket. IMO, the Spirit and the Executive complement each other perfectly.

I carry a Leatherman Wingman in a pocket and have a freebie little multi-tool on my keychain that serves sees use every now and then.
 
I've always got a Victorinox Classic SD on my keychain.
I also have a SAK in my pocket (usually a Small Tinker or Traveller).

Sometimes I put my Wave on my belt.
 
Vic Cadet in a nylon pouch w/my flashlight in my right pocket, vic signature with a keychain light in my 5th pocket, and a vic climber in my murse (my man purse) :)
 
I just recently started EDC'ing a second blade. I have always had a SAK on me. I've recently added the Buck Spitfire as I wanted to see how handy a one handed blade would be. I'm liking it alot. If one blade has to be left behind though, I'll be keeping the SAK.
 
Yep, some kind of SAK along with a buck crosslock and either a sog pocket plier or powerlock
 
Currently I keep a SAK Classic on the keys which is intended to be my only tool if I'm running around in gym shorts. Any other (and most) time, on person is a power lock on the belt, explorer plus in the pocket, folding fixed blade in the opposite pocket.

Wasn't a "murse" also known as a "possibles bag", back before pants pockets were invented?
 
Wave mod for my woodworking-trimming tasks, because many times I find myself in awkard positions trying to cut with one hand holding a branch or another tool, or the ladder that I am onto.

If I open it slowly both the hole and the Zipties work well for gloved hands. But I use the Zip Ties the most as a thumb support when I need to precisely place a hole in a branch, plastic container or just make deep, precise cuts on thin branches.
As you see, I do quite a bit of woodworking and this is the perfect knife for that.

Hope this answers the question!
 
My regular carry includes a small keychain sak attached to keys and a large 111mm that I use for most knife tasks. Believe it or not, the little one gets some use. The small one is the one that tends to bite me going into courthouses and restricted areas as I really forget about it completely.

I keep a pliers based vic multi-tool in my field bag. I'll put it on my belt if I feel I might need to use it.
