Finding a multi-tool that is right for you is crucial. If it's too heavy or too light duty it's not going to be used. I have a lot of multi-tools, a lot more then knives. I have flirted around with Spirit's, SwissTools, PowerLocks, Diesels, and other multitools. Although they are great in my collection, they don't get used. The Charge just wins in it for me. Compared to the SwissTool/Spirit, the titanium Charge handles blow them out of the water. They are "cool", provide great grip, are nice and rounded, and they won't scratch up either. The blades are also very important to me. Even though I carry a folder, I still use my multi-tool blades and having them one hand accessible is a big bonus for me. Not to mention the fact you have a plain edge blade made out of premium knife steel is even a bigger plus. The diamond file is also one of my favorite things about the whole tool. It is exceptional for fingernails, metal, and even sharpening hooks, axes, chisels, and other edged tools. But, the most important thing I like about the Charge is the bit driver. This is by far the most versatile piece of kit on any multitool. It doesn't take up much room and you can have 42 screwdrivers on your belt at all times. Not to mention they fit screws extremely well unlike other MTs that have polished drivers that don't bite or MTs that have #1 Philips as the main driver... As you can tell, the Charge wins it for me.

I agree 100%! I bought my Charge TTi and my SOG Powerlock at the same time because I could not decide which one I wanted. I got MOLLE type pouches for both of them, and I have my choice each morning as to which one I strap on my belt. So far I have opted for the Charge every morning. It is the bit driver and tips that did it for me, too. I also love the fact that the blade, file, saw, and v cutter can be deployed without opening the tool.
