Which Multitool do you have and how do you carry it? Pocket? Sheath? Leather? Nylon? Kydex? Other ways? I'm looking for some inspiration :)

Thanks!
 
At home I carry a Vic Tinker in my pocket. Away, I carry a Deluxe Tinker in a leather belt pouch.

LM Squirt: pocket. LM Juice: bag, in a clip on belt sheath for carry. LM Pulse: Car console.
 
Mine has a pocket clip, so I just clip it on like any other knife.



...A pocket clip which isn't visible in this picture. :o
 
Got a LM Squirt PS4 on my keys and a Rebar in a pistol mag pouch (fits perfectly) that's attached to the MOLLE webbing on my bag. Squirt handles about 90% of day to day tasks, but it's nice having the Rebar handy for things like car emergencies and such.
 
The Leatherman Surge, and most other MTs, fit nicely and ride reasonably well in the vertical pocket of 5.11 Tac Lite Pro pants.

 
Carry LM's in a Benchmade folder molle sheath on belt. I don't pocket carrying any knives/MT in or on pocket anymore. Belt or neck.

Depends on the multitool.

For EDC, I carry my EDC knife in my RFP and a small Micra in LFP (with my money clip). Today, this is the combo.

I generally have a backpack with me of some sort - Either my laptop bag for work or a smaller day pack for going out and about. I keep a full-sized MT in my day pack. For general day to day life, I don't need instant access to my MT and walking to my pack is close enough.

When doing work in the shop or around my property, I generally carry a full sized MT on my belt in a clip on holster.
 
Victorinox Climber/Farmer/Soldier in pocket. Leatherman Charge in glovebox.
 
My Leatherman Wingman has a pocket clip. I've been carrying it right front jeans pocket with a traditional in my left front.
 
These are the ones that I use the most. The Juice gets carried in my left front pants pocket. The Charge sometimes in my pants pocket but usually it is clipped to the right front pocket. If I am carrying the Skeletool it is clipped to my right front pocket.

I have an older Leatherman ST that gets carried in my luggage in a bag of gadgets. I have an older Gerber tool that stays in my desk drawer at work.

My nephew has around 25 different Leathermans. He puts them everywhere so there's always one in reach. So I guess neither of us carry one at all. :cool:
 
I always carry a leatherman kick I got for $20 years ago, I don't use it that hard it's held up great. It is my first and only multitool so far. I always lusted over the waves my scout buddies had when I was very young. Not anymore, this one has great user quality. I like the user nature of it. It reminds me of an improved, modern version of the SAKs and the high quality multi tool slipjoints that both of my grandfathers always carried and handed down to me. Both were WW2 navy, one was a master finish carpenter the other was a civil and construction engineer for railroads and handy man. It's full sized yet slender and light and has only basic tools, with some strange plastic lining. It's awesome.

I carry it in the small, tight pocket inside of the large right pocket of my jeans with one of those awesome, tiny $20 flashlights. My jeans are pretty tightly fitted but it works so well. If I'm not wearing proper pants, which I often don't, then I just have it in my truck and hope that's good enough.
 
Leatherman squirt in my front right "watch" pocket of my jeans. Fits in there nicely (don't even know it is there). Leaves all your pockets open for a larger knife if you choose to carry one.
 
Depending on weather and dress code: supertool - sling pack; casual & around farm blast/fuse on leather or nylon belt pouch; dress or shorts skeletool clipped left front or rear pocket.
