I carry and use the Leatherman free p2 everyday at work, not the most advanced tool selection... but the 1 handed open and one hand access to every tool is a game changer

If you haven't tried them, you should!

That's a good rec. I've been thinking about a new multitool - something that is a little lighter and easier to EDC than my Supertool 300, but still capable and not a janky POS.

And for the record, I don't own a single marble.

I have the Sidekick with built in clip. Used to carry the Wave but this is lighter and has needlenose that have a built in spring to stay open when using. One handed operation to open primary blade and locks in place. Goes everywhere I go. Got this at Home Depot a few years ago but prices doubled since then.
Crosscut saw can cut!
Btw, not janky to me 😁

Nice. I have a Wingman which lives in my EDC/laptop bag. It's ok, but I'm not totally thrilled with it. I kind of wish I'd gotten the Sidekick instead - I prefer the tool options on the latter.

So far, of the mid-size Leathermans, the Rebar is my favorite.

I bought my oldest one a couple years back and he still likes it

I like the fact I can open all tools on this one handed, you slide your thumb over the hook looking part at the end and all the tools on each side pop up


(No using fingernails)

And its held together magnetically, so opening it is like a balisong , tools are also magnetically held in place
