Leatherman Micra
Gerber Splice SOG Cross-Cut I have a Maxpedition Micro EDC pouch, any of them would fit nicely. They all have similar features. They are about the same price. Just looking for feedback on the quality. |

Fuck Leatherman! This. But if I had to vote, it would be the Leatherman Supertool. I use the LM SuperTool v.1 and have had good luck with them over the years. Right now I'm carrying a SAK SwissChamp and like that, although it's not as robust as the ST. Chris |

Best of the multitools is the Victorinox.
I have owned the SOG, the Leatherman, and the Gerber too. The Leatherman felt the most solid. The SOG had the best blades/tools. The Gerber was the cheapest and gave me the deepest slice requiring stitches, but in all honesty that was preventable if the operator wasn't an idiot.

Leatherman skeletool:
knife was super sharp so good for cutting paper and picking my cuticles. Bad for general utility since it was too thin and had a flimsy lock. Pliers weren't bad at all. The screwdriver was good but eventually you'll lose one of the bits. Absolutely loved the bottle opener/carabiner clip. Felt solid overall. Stolen from by checked baggage. Would buy again. Gerber crucial: Bought after the skeletool. Felt cheaper for sure. Pliers sucked. Knife wasn't bad. Overall unimpressed. It should have been $20 cheaper than the Leatherman but it was the same price. Lost doing yardwork. Will not buy a Gerber multitool again. SOG powerduo: Currently have. Pliers are awesome, they are a step above all other multitool pliers I have ever used. The knife is excellent as well, almost as good as a folder. The tiny screwdriver built into the can opener is nice. The tools have a little play when locked open (except for the knife). My favorite so far, also the most expensive. Only one problem: I didn't notice it didn't have a pocket clip until I opened it. NOOOOOOOOOOO! Carrying it is a pain in some outfits and it occasionally gets left behind as a result. Oh yeah, the toothpick and tweezers are garbage. I will definitely be exploring more options from SOG in the future. Also have a basic victorinox swiss army knife. It stays in the house bc the blade doesn't lock and it doesn't have pliers. I use it to open wine. My ideal multitool: Good knife, good pliers w/ wirecutters, bottle and can openers, large and small screwdrivers, strap cutter, glass breaker, pocket clip. I could live without a corkscrew but if they could fit one it would be nice. Not too bulky, under $100. |

Multi tools sort of loose their appeal for me when you take the pliers away. Everything you listed was scissor based. Why not go with a Swiss Army knife?
Or this. 
Leatherman Squirt Small, has pliers AND scissors.
