r/multitools

Anyone know if attachments from other multitools will fit on the sog powerpint to save me from filing down either the bottle opener or file to make a usable flat head screw driver?

Hello all, putting together this portable tool kit that I’ll be swapping between my cars depending on which one I’m driving. I’m looking for something on the smaller side with smaller being relative compared to say a Tool 300.

Requirements are that it must not add much weight to the kit and fit with everything else. Main focus are good quality pliers that can do anything from pulling fuses to unplugging stuck electrical connectors. Also have decent wire cutters built in.

Current top of list for me are the Skeletool CX or the powerpint but that’s only because that’s what Google said would work.

So I am here asking to see what all you would recommend knowing I don’t need something that has everything but rather something with less things but is really good at those things.

Thanks.

My 2nd favorite Leatherman after the Arc. Thanks to a commenter on a previous post I got my hands on a back up Free T4 at MSRP. Now I can be a little less paranoid about losing or breaking a retired tool. It's the perfect lightweight lounge pants carry for me. My first is going strong after 5 years.

I absolutely love the Swisstool Spirit X and am wanting to get this specific bundle with it. Though my only big concern is the sheath. I want to use this as my work carry multi tool but I work in a powdered metal plant and am worried the powder will eventually ruin the Velcro closure of the included sheath. So I'm looking for an alternative that will still let me carry all the included tools on one sheath.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated

Hey folks

Found this thing today: BHBT 15. Looks like it's built on the free p2 clone body. Thought ok awesome I have a daicamping dl30 that I really like, but the awl and bottle opener don't do much for me but that wrench really does. Anyone have any idea where I could get just the wrench? I think it would let me finally perfect my modded tool for my uses but I would rather not buy a whole additional tool to mod into the pliers of many bottle openers in order to steal it's wrench though I will if I must lol. Twist my arm if you must.

It also moves up and down a bit

By the time I went to buy these were sold out. Now I have to wait for the next sale.

I have a few (😏) mt's and this has been my edc for a few months now...

I love Victorinox quality, but actually need pliers almost daily. Until victorinox decides to make pliers this size, this powerpint will have to do the job...

I've carried a Wave for long, but always had the problem with food handling, which made me have to carry a separate folder. And the ability to have separate tools (pliers on one hand, screwdriver on the other) made me go on 2 MT's.

But the weight was too much! And the day the wave "bit" me twice, just threw it in a drawer and swapped the wave for the skeletool, great simple tool, but too fragile and too many hot-spots in handles.

This combo (Powerpint + Vic Explorer) has served me well, but there are too many redundancies and useless tools. In the powerpint I just use the pliers and drivers. Eventually the blade, if I think I'm going to do something that can damage my sak.

Would it be wise to change this combo for a Spirit mx? The weight is exactly the same, but then I would have to add a bantam or Army1 just for food...

And although I like the added functionality of the spirit, I know that probably I wouldn't use the "extra tools" often.

How would the spirit ride in the 5th pocket? I know it's longer, but is it uncomfortable? (I'm a big guy 1.90m or 6'3")

This flashlight only uses one AAA!

Picked up this F12 last week and been loving it since! Hasn't left the carry all week. The tool set on it is almost perfect for what I need. The only complaint I have with it so far is the nail nick placement on the file, I just wish it was towards the tip more. More than happy with Nextool!

I turned my Clipper CP21 Lighter into a micro-tool and Fixit platform by adding 8 inches of duct tape and hot glue stick, pin, and Victorinox tweezers, pen, and toothpick. The build uses Duct-Tape and Heatshrink tubes.

If anyone can think of a way to add a 2-sided microdriver to this I would appreciate some input...either here or in the comments of my video on this.

I started with a Leatherman Mut Eod, which I bought and returned to a third-party site because the 3/8 key was missing, I remembered my childhood with my different SAK and opinel knives and I got this Victorinox Damast Edition 2023, which is pleasantly huge, light and has very beautiful finishes.

Afterwards I got a Mini S11 Pro from Nextool while waiting to get a Leatherman with Free technology, I would have appreciated the Garage 005 and I fell back on a Leatherman Arc Obsidian.

Regarding the watch, I first opted for a Fenix 8 51 mm Mip, although the Tactix 8 was my starting crush.
I should have listened to myself because in the end I resold the Fenix 8 51mm Mip and then ordered the Tactix 8 51 mm Amoled, being someone used to brighter screens.

Usually I wear it with the Nylon bracelet that is included in the box.

Have a good day and look forward to exchanging

Pic 2: god dammit you guys what the fuck.
Tools are shown chronologically, and missing is the Gerber Dual Force which I’ve had since just after the center drive but is currently missing
I’m taking a break from any sort of spending whatsoever but here are my main takeaways for my own preferences:

Most fully functional overall tool:
wave+ w/ add ons. It just does most everything I need it to and does it solidly and well

Best fidget tool:
This one is actually a toss up depending on if both my hands are free or not
If I have both hands, mx clip. If not, p2

Best value:
Dakoyu Warna. I mean I paid $60 here. They really did get impressively close to the Free Leatherman tech but not quite there. Also I hate the file so much on this thing it really bothers me, but god damn if this thing isn’t worth more than twice its value

Favorite EDC no matter the situation:
Roxon Shears with comb instead of blade, box cutter, and pen/tweezers/needle. Awesome for personal or job use all the times this one never leaves a pocket

Personal favorite:
MX Clip. It just feels so good to use all the time. Victorinox really does have the magic touch when it comes to satisfying engineering and quality control

Honorable mention: I still love the Center Drive and I use it in job sites all the time stills it’s pry bar is awesome and highly overlooked, I love the center driver screwdriver and the the pliers are a lot of fun if not the strongest set.

Spent the afternoon making this Bond a bit more interesting. Did a full ferric chloride acid etch on all parts except the file (with all contact points covered of course), followed by a stonewash. It's far less slippery, looks pretty damn good, and rust will have a hell of a time getting started with the patina protecting it. Also, for some reason, it's giving me much stronger PST vibes than when it was unmodded lol. The brain's a funny thing I guess. What do you guys think of the mod? I'm certainly thinking it's a way cooler way to protect from rust than the black oxide.

Added a few things to the rocktol

A wave utility blade mod had to modify the frame a half just ground it off

Found a small screw and nut that fit and then shaved down the screw and locktighted it together for the blade so much nicer!

What are you guys thoughts on the Leatherman Juice pro? love this little thing. Despite the Cost, i carry it with me in the house. Definitely paranoid of getting scratches n dents. My juice pro stays indoors lol.
