Is there a multitool out there that would be more appropriate for performing small repairs/modifications (mostly plastic) and stripping & crimping small wires like usb cables, etc out in the field?

Essentially what I need is:

Knife (no specific type, but ideally locking)
Scissors
Wire stripper (up to 28 AWG)
Wire cutter
Tweezers
Philips/flat head screwdrivers large and small
Needle nose pliers
Ruler

Second to all that, it would be nice if it had retracting/one hand operation pliers like a lot of the Gerber models I’ve seen or Leatherman OHT.

I don’t see myself ever needing things like a mini saw, can/bottle openers, seat belt cutter, etc. in this multitool, but those tools invariably seem to be included in the majority of multitools. I don’t need this for camping or anything like that.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
 
You might want to check out some of the Victorinox SwissTool models. I haven't seen one with a tweezers though.
 
gerber no too much hassle opening, get you a leatherman wave with the hole sheath. allows to store tool open while in sheath. needlenose sticks out bottom 1/2 inch or so.
 
Closest I can think of is the Leatherman Squirt ES4. Strippera, scissors, knife, flat Phillips, slotted driver, and needle nose pliers. Fairly small, to boot
 
The victorinox cybertool 34 is an awesome little tool but it lacks wire strippers/cutters. It also does not have a set of heavy duty pliers. If you're looking for those types of tools you'll probably have to go with a full size leatherman or something of that nature.
