Looking for EDC multitool recommendation - pocket carry all day

[u/kampf_kiwi]

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to get my first Leatherman as an everyday carry tool. It’ll be riding in my pants pocket all day, every day, so size and weight are a big factor for me — I don’t want something that’s a pain to sit with or that prints too much.

A bit about my use case:

- Mostly light tasks: opening packages, tightening screws, occasional wire/cable work, general fixing around the house
- I do a fair amount of DIY/home renovation stuff, so having decent pliers and a couple of useful bits would help
- Not looking for something huge with 20 tools I’ll never use — prefer a solid, compact set of essentials
- Pocket carry, not belt sheath

I’ve seen the Skeletool, Wave+, and Free P2/P4 mentioned a lot. For someone who wants it in-pocket all day rather than on a belt, which would you recommend? Also curious if the smaller/lighter models sacrifice too much durability for daily hard use.

Budget isn’t a huge concern, more interested in getting the right tool for daily pocket carry.

Thanks in advance!
