multitool which one
Re: multitool which one
Leatherman multitools are seriously great gear — solid, well-designed, and reliable. I’ve got the Wave Plus myself, and it works perfectly both outdoors and for everyday tasks.

Re: multitool which one
A "cheap and moderately cheerful" suggestion would be a Surge or Wave clone from china. I've handled the Daicamping DL30 (I think), for the price (£25-£30) it's okay, pliers are good but there are a few wobbly bits and I dont think the steel is particularly high quality. The biggest advantage it has is over the leatherman range is the 1/4 bit driver rather than the flat drivers of the LM.
Other "brands" worth considering for cheap pliers based tools are Dakoyu, Roxon, Swiss Tech or a newer brand BHBT.
For a smaller tool, the SOG Powerpint/powerlitre are okay if you buy them on AliExpress for just shy of £30, they are not worth the price listed on UK websites (Heinnie: £75!).
I've a couple of the smaller Nextool plier based tools, they're okay (for the price), I think I paid c.£15 for the mini tools. The steel and build quality is nowhere near as good as my Charge TTi, Wingman or Squirt, though.
