New multitool for winter hiking.
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?

Maybe a Leatherman Wingman, Gerber Multi-Plier 800 Legend, or Swiss Tool Spirit MX
Ski & tent repair specs I'm going with: Pliers, file, drivers, scissors
Winter hiking specs: Blade, saw, awl

How durable are the screw drivers on multi tools?

Depends on the model, leathermans and victorinox are top tier
I think its worthy to take a look on the leatherman rebar, wave+, signal, skeletool and victorinox handyman and huntsman
The steel on the victorinox is more stainless, but for tools i prefer leatherman, so its also worthy to think about a combo like many people do, for example huntsman and skeletool

Leatherman signal maybe. Geared towards wilderness/camping.. even with a spare flint built in. Has a flat impact surface that can be used to drive in tent stakes, pliers and cutters, wood saw, etc...
