I lost my Leatherman , I've had it for about 15 years so I got my money out of it. I carry a benchmade Stryker so having a big blade isn't a necessity for a multitool. after extensive interneting I've come across 2 that peak my interest. the leatherman OHT and the SOG B 66. I am usually around my truck so I have access to my toolbox if I need it but I was just looking for a robust tool to do some light and medium work. I don't need a C4 punch or a bolt scraper or a sight tool just something for my front left jeans pocket while Im out and about.
any feedback or suggestions will be greatly appreciated |

I still like the Wave. Comfortable, but nice and solid... no plastic pieces. Blades on the outside, everything you need, nothing you don't. Leatherman definitely stands behind their products. I found an ancient PST once, buried on Sicily DZ, rusted solid, blades snapped, and beat to hell. Mailed it to them and they sent me a new one, no questions asked. They'll replace any part you manage to break.

My work multitool is a Gerber, because I can flick out the pliers with one hand to clear chips when running the lathe. If I'm not at work, I'm usually carrying a Wave, but I just picked up a cheap and beat Charge TTi that I sent back for loose pliers. I'll probably throw the Waves in the glove box/chest rig and carry the Charge when it comes back.
ETA - The Gerber was given to me with twisted pliers and both blades reduced to stubs. I sent that back, and they they upgraded me to one with carbide cutters, and also a new belt pouch. |

I started with a SOG many years ago, but I went to a silver Gerber & recently picked a nice used milspec black Gerber. I have carried all of those next to my wallet for EDC. John Quoted:
