I'm looking for a clip-carry (as opposed to pouch-carry) MPT for a customer of mine. Leatherman made a perfectly fine one called a Sidekick or Sideclip or something but it's discontinued. I have no idea why because these sold well--maybe it's some sort of legal thing?

Can anyone recommend one of these?
 
I have a LM Wave with the pocket clip, and it works well for IWB carry, but pocket carry... well, it is a bit heavy (8 oz) and some don't like it riding in the pocket because of this. It depends on what pants you wear (i.e. OK with jeans, maybe not so much with dress slacks). I believe this same clip (sold separately, of course) fits the Charge models also. And the Kick also has a pocket clip available (again, sold separately). I'd go with the Wave. Despite it's weight, it feels OK in the pocket, and has a great selection of tools. I have no idea if the other multi-tool companies offer anything with a pocket clip.
 
raindog101 is pretty much right. I have the Kick and ordered the clip, and that worked great. It would be the closest thing to the Sideclip, although a bit thicker because of the handle design. Also, the Charge models come WITH a clip and a lanyard ring, which are available seperately for the new Wave & Surge models.
 
Hard to figure why they discontinued the SideClip. I see the darn things selling on eBay now for twice as much as they were new.
