How do you carry your Multitool?

My surge rides in my EDC bag. Front pocket with easy access to any of the bits I need to interchange. If its not there, its on my belt in the leather carry case.
 
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.

If you look around online, you will find a pocket clip made for this model. Many people actually use this clip as a wrench for other leatherman models. Those gnarled nuts can be a pain

When my multi was part of my work uniform I carried it in a skinth sheath. They are great sheaths, lots of options. Carried my Rebar, widgy, AAA light, and a couple small screwdrivers. Now since I wear a harness more days than not, my belt stays clear, and I carry a skeletool in a ribz pack. Its a bit funny, I'm the only guy at work who does, but it comes from my theater tech days, always have everything you might need at hand.
 
I keep my trusty Victorinox Alox Cadet in the coin pocket of my jeans. Completely disappears in there to the point I often forget I have it on me, yet that little thing has everything I need on a day to day basis. I've got a Leatherman Wave in my car should the situation arise where I need something sturdier but generally a SAK is all I need.
