I have a leatherman supertool. This is actually the third leather man I have had to buy. I left the first one on my bumper in a rain storm after cutting the rope to hold down a tarp, and the second on is on the bottom of the white river it fell out of my pocket while trout fishing.
I like the locking blades on the supertool and think that the leatherman tools are the best of the bunch.

I'll stick with gerber myself. I haven't found any leathermans that stand up to abuse like my 600. I added to the list of things I've done to it yesterday. I cut the ends off of about 30 3/32" steel welding rods with the wire cutters (flux was going bad, cooked the end but didn't want to toss the whole rod). No damage at all to the pliars.

I'll stick with SOG multi-tools. I carry a Deluxe Pocket PowerPlier and a CrossCut, and have had NO problems with either one, and have been served very well with both.

Leatherman over Gerber anyday, my Gerber always pinched my hand when I cut coathangers and hard wire.
The Leatherman has never failed me, although I prefer the Supertool to any of the other Leathermans. If the Wave had locking tools, a ruler, crimpers, and was a little bigger I'd like it more.

For years, I have always had a Leatherman on my belt, and to this day, no model that I've had has ever let me down. I currently carry a SuperTool 200 and hope to pick up a Crunch to complement for my work carry, and a Pulse for non-work EDC.
I have tried Gerber but wasn't too fond of their opening mechanism. At one time, I also had a SOG TiNi Powerlock which was built like a tank, but their screwdrivers needed a little more length for my needs.
To sum it up, I've strayed some from Leatherman, but in the end I always gone back to the best multitool brand out there.
