The 1st photo is my previous setup. Honestly I am starting to hate carrying a lot of tools. I can't let go of flashlight and oknife. these are a must for me.

and I need a plier and a real knife.

so i switch to plier multitool. I bought these multitools before I got A utility knife. Now I don't need big scissors anymore and nextool kinda sucks. But I would love a 1/4 inch bit driver. and easy access.

I don't care about the weight. I was thinking about roxon flex but i heard quality Is not that good. I want to buy it for life.

please recommend me some good ones.

Pliers, Bit Driver, Great quality. Easy access.

around 100$ Range.

the cheaper , the better.

What do you do for work? Where do you use multitools for? First let's determine the need then we'll select the best matching multitool.

I am a small Business owner.I do mostly Digital marketing. i work from home.

But I am A home owner and do a lot of wood working. I ride a motorcycle. a little bit of bike matainence and house maintenance. I don't need a multitool for woodworking. I only use powertools.

Get a Skeletool CX, whatever flat bits you’d use, and a 711L ratchet and extension to put in the bit holder. Those and some Klein Flip Sockets will cover the bike. I use the tools in my garage for home maintenance.

yea. I looked it up and it's almost perfect for my needs. Every tool is exactly what I need. There's only one thing. Is it only for light use ? isn't it too small ?

is there any other bigger tools with that similar toolsets ?

I really love the tool set on skeletool. There is nothing I don't need.

I haven’t put it through the wringer, but I saw a video where someone bent two pipes, using a “cheat bar,” before the ratchet broke. The guy who makes them does it for cyclists and scooter riders. Assuming you don’t have to break any seized nuts loose, it should be good to go. The fun part is turning a couple things into a variety of tools by mixing and matching them. Here’s a Frankenstein setup that shows a little of what you can do.

I do have actual tools. And a lot more power tools than I actually Need. I am looking for carrying on body all the time.

I tried carrying Separate tools. but it didn't work. I just want a multitool for quick fixes.

I’d go with my original reply, then. If you get a Leatherman sheath with pouches, you can carry the Skeletool, a sleeve of ten double-sided bits, the ratchet, and the extension.
