I’ve been carrying the SOG PowerAccess in my pocket while at home. Honestly, I don’t really need tools like a sawing blade, corkscrew, or even a can opener. What I actually use are the Phillips and flat screwdrivers, a small blade, pliers, and maybe a pry tool.

The SOG is okay, but I’m not thrilled with the build quality—it feels loose and kind of cheap. Does anyone know of a similar tool, maybe from Leatherman? Preferably something lightweight, as I don’t want anything too heavy.

Hey fellow geeks. I am trying to come up with a setup for international travel that fulfills a few criteria. (A) bladeless multi tool with pliers to carry on flight (b) pocket clip (c) ability to suspend a separate SAK (from checked baggage) to the tool once I arrive. So far I have come up with this. I had an old nitize clip kicking around without the adhesive strip, so I drilled it and am using it as a suspension clip for a Nextool Mini Sailor and SAK. Works ok but is bulky in pocket. I have another Nitize clip on order that I am going to see if it can be positioned on side of the mini sailor but I think the clip will be a bit big for the tool…. Also have a Nextool mini flagship on order with the solid red side scales to see if that is a better clip host. Then could remove the blade, set it up so the Nextool itself acts like the supension clip for the SAK to minimize deep pocket bulk. Any other good ideas or combos ?

I hace checked thumbstud addons on aliexpress and they seem to be giantic for this fella.

Any idea?

I just snagged this on Amazon. I absolutely love it. Still breaking it in though. I still love my leathermans but always looking around for different ones.

I have a feeling many will say leatherman but if you had the option to buy the gerber new for $50 CAD would you rather take that over the wave? Wondering what peoples experience with the gerber is as well since I’m seeing mixed reviews on quality and longevity.

(PS. I don’t have the REI deal that was posted because I am in CAD otherwise I would’ve bought it by now lol)

Hi fellas! I would like to get a multitool that can fit in my Alpaka Hub Pouvh + beeing bladeless/sharpless (here in Italy u cant bring any type of Sharp object on plane). Only thing i found so far is the roxoon Flex companion buy i much prefer the SAK style. Any ideas?

Not sure how many are left but I did buy one and got a confirmation email.

I basically want to replicate this one since it's exactly what I need. (Topic is archived and can't ask there)

The Skeletool platform plus the 91mm scissors will make it UK legal as well since no more locking blade?

Since the scissors will be locked on the liner lock. Will these scissors be considered ilegal since they lock? Don't really want to cut the liner lock as well and though maybe to ask before I start the project.

Thank you.

REI has the Signals on sale, Aqua colorway only!

I bought 2 to add to the family lol, can’t beat $30 off!

I found this a few months ago in a pawn shop for a great price so I bought it. I started carrying it right away and realized that the toolset and size is perfect for me. The only problem is the orange anodization really bothers me. I would carry it more if it didn't stick out the way it does.

I'd like to remove the scales and sand the Ano off with some sandpaper. I don't know if it will look good like that, but at this point I think I'll prefer it to the Orange.

Does anyone have any tips they would like to offer on this project? For starters how might I get the scales off this thing. It has capped pins that hold it together and no threaded fasteners that I can see.

Transplant was a success and the saw is now functioning properly. Cheers to a speedy recovery. ❤️‍🩹

I have a mossy oak multi tool Used it to open a package and the blade will not close I tried every way to close it. There’s a socket or drive receiver right next to it I opened it and it did nothing and now that’s stuck open too. What am I missing ?

Hello everyone. After a lot of positive recommendations I have purchased the Roxon phantom multitool. I know I can not expect a high-end tool, but being €70,- shipped I was expecting someone nice and not cheap looking.

I have to say I am a bit disappointed. The first is with the box cutters. When installed it is difficult to fit in the pouch. Also fabric gets stuck on the attachment so it is also difficult to get it out.

Second the box cutters limit the body movement on the pliers. When trying to fully close the pliers the box cutter is being pinched into the frame. Forcing the pliers shut really crunches the box cutters.

Third the pliers are bend by a lot. This is on a new unit without any use yet. Contacting support concludes to me that this is normal.

I am expecting too much tool for my money? I am not satisfied at all by Roxon

Which sub is best for selling a multitool?

I have a tool I'd like to sell. I posted it here, there was a flair for "for sale." It was removed. I was told to post in r/edcexchange. I read the rules, the want pics but don't allow attachments.

Hello all!

My partner and I are both musicians who travel often, changing strings, maintaining our instruments. my partner carrys this little bag full of little tools and i wanted to replace that with a custom multitool.

My plan was to carve a wooden body which will include a cut for pulling out bridge pegs with fold out: - pliers (tightening nylon string knots around bridge)
- Scissors/snips (cutting nylon and sometimes wound strings, easily replaceable incase damaged)
- file (filing fretwires)
- female tool bit (interchangeablle tool bits, hex, star, flat etc)
- knife (We dont use them but its always handy)

I feel I can design and make the body fairly easy but i'm looking for reccomendations on where to buy parts (I'm located in Aus) so the ends attaching to the body are all the same. Then i'll build the body to accomodate.

I'll also be building a tuning peg winder and will need to make the body end match the rest of these.

This is also a project that i just have in mind. I've never done anything like this before so please excuse me if i have some of the terminology wrong or this type of thing doesnt exist.

Thanks!

Also open to true multi tools with your favorite blade, what are you guys carrying

Hey. I rarly use a multitool. But its nice to have lying around. I allways keep one in the car. I recently used my bacho multitool flat driver, but it bent badly widout me even putting alot of force on it. I tought bacho is supposed to be good. Anyway. I want a tool for winter camping. Emergency repairs of ski, tent, equipment. I dont want or need maximum amount of tools. Just something light, simple, strong. What do people reccomend?

So I’ve got a Leatherman Arc, that’s my every day carry, I love it, but I wanna start collecting the odd but useful multitools from brands that aren’t so well known, and I know somebody is going to comment “why do you need more?” that’s not the point of the post. Specifically I want to find some sort of medium to full size multitool that has a really nice blade steel, not 420hc, or 14c28n, or 7Cr17MoV, something really nice, s30v, s35vn, I know Leatherman makes the Charge TTI, and the skeletool with S30v and 154CM respectively, but I’m looking for something not as common. Does anyone know of any multi tools that have a premium blade besides Leatherman?

The weirder or more unique the tool the better, they just fascinate me.

Good morning all,

I wanted to share a project I had been working on for a little while since I started heavily carrying a Leatherman last year. This is the Pocket Clip for the Leatherman Drivers, a minimalistic approach to using the drivers as an EDC without the use of a sheath. I have been using this in conjunction with the Flat Bit Holder Wallet Card for a couple of months now and it has definitely helped me out in many situations. If interested you can check it out at my Etsy store, I have link to it in my profile and you can DM me if you have any questions. Thanks!
