Question about next multitool

[batesk52]

I recently got some extra disposable income, and I'm looking to get my feelers out for other multitools. I already have a leatherman wingman and I enjoy it, is there any multitools that someone can recommend that is significantly different than the wingman? I don't care if it is a leatherman.

Thanks

I would definitely suggests looking into the Victorinox multitools. They make the Swisstool and Swisstool Spirit. Both tools have different models with slightly different tool sets. They are a must have if you like and use multitools. They are top notch in my opinion.

If you can get your hands on a swisstool. They are fantastic, and a great tool to figure out what you like in a tool. If the swisstool is out of your range, grab yourself a new Wave, another great tool for figuring out what you like. the only other one I can think of that is significantly different would be a supertool 300.

My theory is that at this point you should try out a big tool, see if it works for you, then if you just want to downsize, you know which tools you want to keep. I went from a LM Pulse, then SOG powerlock, Vic Swisstool, LM rebar.

I find the Wave to be a significant improvement over the Wingman. The Wingman is a good tool for a budget tool, but the Wave is very versatile.

With the standard Philips/flat driver bit in it's ready to go for most tasks, but if you have a little extra space on your belt the bit kit and extension make it a seriously handy tool for unexpected jobs that pop up. Plus the sheath holds a 1xAAA. Maglite solitaire flashlight perfectly.

As much as I love my Wave I find I rarely need a plier based tool that often in my day to day. A Victorinox Pioneer or Farmer is a great daily carry multitool also if you do not see much need for pliers.
