Which multitool has the best scissors?

[u/PatMB]

Looking for the best multitool for use on sites that don't allow traditional knives. Need the biggest/strongest scissors instead, along with the usual multitool utility (especially the pliers). It's OK if the tool still has a knife on it, just need the scissors for actual use on site.

victorinox undoubtedly make the best scissors on a multi tool, nothing comes close in my experience. Beautifully crafted, the fit and finish is exceptional. There are two primary models that come with a few different options and colours.

Victorinox SwissTool. Buy once, cry once. If you live in country where getting warranty return is a hassle, can't go wrong with victorinox. Do testing at shop first, though.

Don't go for Swiss Spirit X, the scissor have a small opening and inverted cutting blade. Other than that, it can cut fine..

Boker TechTools are like higher end SAK's with a hollow ground main blade, better steel and G10 scales available in different colors and stuff. I have 4 of them, the thick one has pliers and big scissors better than any of my Swiss Armies. Granted I only have a few SAK's but I've lost more than I own over my life. I ordered Phillips head bits from Boker USA to replace the corkscrews on the 2 that came with them. It fits perfectly where the corkscrew would normally go. Also I have one with GiTD scales I got from CountyComm a while back. That main blade is a slicer and it still has a decent flat head/prybar and a serrated cutter with a small flat head tip. They even make them with the punch/sewing awl. Bunch of different versions and they're usually cheap on Amazon, like 40$-50$ unless they suddenly get popular again. Then they're 70-80$

Also they are as stainless as it gets in a blade that will actually keep an edge. I literally wash them with soap and water, blow out with an electric computer duster and thats about it for maintenance. Screw on pocket clip so you can have it or not. The big one with everything is kind of the house tool for my Family and they haven't broken one yet, for like 10 years. Boker actually sent me the phillips head bits twice, on them, 1st ones disappeared in the mail. They just don't always have them, I checked back monthly until they did. Anyone that likes SAK's would like these. Only down side is no tweezers or toothpick.

I have the sanrenmu clone of one of the techtools. Despite the blade steel being better I would not say they are necessarily higher end, since the spring moves quite a bit on either the pliers or the scissors.

They are not bad for the price though.

I've seen the clones, there's one with carbon fiber or carbon maybe just carbon look scales but I thought I remembered a different brand name. Anyway I'm not personally familiar with them. But being a clone they could be anywhere from terrible to superior. I do like the Bokers though, maybe I just got a good one but the scissors fell nice and precise and the pliers don't jiggle. They aren't a replacement for a full size multitool though. But they are a lot smaller, even the thick one with the pliers and scissors. They may make even more versions but I havent looked at then in a while. I'd definitely recommend the Boker versions to friends though. And I probably have a dozen multitools from Gerbers and Sogs to a few of the higher end Leathermans.
