So the discussion about testing your tools and what constitutes abuse reminds me of what happened to me earlier today - trying to disassemble a piece of furniture for the move, I made the mistake of lightly prying on something to try to get it free when it was stuck. I did that prying with the large flat head screwdriver on my leatherman wave.
It snapped like a twig.
If I had done the same thing with my Active Duty, I have no doubt that it would have been no worse for wear. I appreciate that my Busse's are made with hard use in mind, and I don't have to baby them.
I'd like the same attributes in an EDC multi-tool.
I've owned many multi tools, from many companies - sog, schrade, gerber, leatherman, victornox, etc. Some of these are definitely much beefier and tougher than others.
Since you HOGS are the experts on ultra-tough, hard use tools, I thought I would get your insight. What do YOU all think are the toughest multi tools on the planet?
(mods, if this is off topic, feel free to lock it - I asked here rather than other places on BF because I trust the opinions of the Hogs, who are known for a preference for mean, tough, hard use tools, and I know elsewhere on the forums I'm more likely to get the "it's a screwdriver, not a prybar" admonishment more than a useful answer. Also, since Busse doesn't make a multi-tool, I felt it wasn't a discussion of competitors' products, since they don't compete in this product niche.)
