I have tried the Gerber Military Provisional Tool(we're issued them), Bucktool, Leatherman clipon, and the Gerber Multi-tool. I have had problems with all of the above, with the exception of the Multi-Tool. I have carried a Multi-Tool at work since I have been there for over 5 yrs. I tried the Buck and Leatherman for home use, they didn't hold up. I just recently gave up, went out, and got another Multi-Tool. I also just got a Puma utility knife through SMKWs, which is actually a Wenger Tradesman. Picked one up for $16.99. The Multi-Tool was kind of crappy when Gerber first made it. But from the ones made about 5 to 6 yrs. ago to the present ones are hard to beat. If Buck would make the pliers lock in the open position, and put a real philips head screw driver on there, they would really have somthing. RKBA!

I really like the Supertool. I have been carrying a Pulse a lot lately. I am glad to see that Leatherman is incorporating the Pulse's improvements into the Supertool.

I have finally come to love my Pulse after carrying it a while. I arried my Wave everyday since it first was available, and other than the non-locking instruments, I loved it.
The Pulse corrects this problem and solves the PSTII's biggest problem -- uncomfortable handles. Unfortunately, some dumbass at Leatherman had to mess with the scissors, which were most excellent on the Wave and PSTII and made them smaller.
The new Supertool 200 with the Pulse-style lock looks really good, especially for outdoors use. If you carry a Micra, I would go with this one.
