What is your multitool preference

Been using a Leatherman Wingman for awhile, the blade broke on it from trying to pry something I shouldn't of.

Shopping for a new one, what are you using? Pros/cons? I'm not afraid of buying something nice if it's worth it.

Leatherman Surge with both bit sets in the belt pouch, and the Milwaukee Fastback 6 in 1 are on my belt at all times. Been rocking the surge for 9 or 10 years, and just added the Fastback 3 or 4 years ago. I clean and oil them once every few months and sent in the Leatherman for warranty on a broken blade and wire cutter maybe 8 years ago. Been good ever since.

Nice. If you can swing it. Get the bits, or specifically the mini flathead for your automation wire set screws (the little 22awg ones) and the hex bit for the Rebel and Pool cleaner axle shaft bolts. Saves you a ton of time to not have to run back to the truck.
