What multitool or SAK did you buy today

[InThePocket]

I got my wife a Micra for her birthday (don't tell her yet). She already has a Curl but she rarely has it with her. Nothing is less useful than the handy multitool you left at home. I figured this would both complement the Curl's tool set and be easier to carry. My first time handling a Micra. I think it's neat, a nice little tool, although I wish they still made the Squirt line.

Honestly, the utility here doesn't seem that much greater than an SD Classic, at twice the width and more than twice the price, but the scissors are bigger and the whole thing is more robust. The artwork turned out looking really good. Hope she likes using it.

Make sure she knows nothing locks. Safety first.

Thanks, yeah. She's accustomed to non-locking tools. But I will mention it when I give it to her.

Snagged a clean example of a Vagabond and bought a transparent Classic in "Tuscan Sun" for a scale swap.

I'm currently considering buying a leatherman sidekick, I've had it in my shopping cart for some time and I guess today is the day to buy.

Didn’t buy anything today, but I’m definitely tempted to add something smaller for the pocket. I’ve got an old Leatherman I inherited (still going strong), but something lighter would be nice for quick trips outdoors.

Might I suggest a Free T4…? I had (have?) one, recently had a need to carry it, but couldn’t find it. I remember really liking it and keeping it in a backpack for specific usage, but it wasn’t where I thought I’d kept it, and in fact wasn’t anywhere I looked. So I grabbed another one and carry it regularly. If you don’t need pliers, it’s a great lighter alternative to a full-blown multitool.

I second the T4 rec, or if you do need pliers, a Skeletool.

Don't have a t4 but thr t2, is a good set up.

I bought this pair of little Toolzall pocket pro ( rebranded B&S mini bear jaws ) cheap on Ebay because I've been curious about them for a long time.


They look to be two different generations, with the example on the bottom / right having those external spring on the plier end of the handles, so it'll be interesting to see which is better.
