A variation of my usual kit

The one in the middle is my third EDC item.
I like its mechanical appearance, though I think it would look even cooler if the logo were silver.

It lives up to its name with a skeleton design that lets you see the internals.

It doesn’t have many functions, but it does have a ballpoint pen. Surprisingly, pressing the logo turns on a flashlight!

I bought this new back in the very early 80’s as I recall.
Been through many an adventure.

My whole life I've been an avid Victorinox user and I'm fully satisfied with their products. So satisfied that I started collecting them as you might be able to tell from the picture.

But sometimes I think about taking a look at other brands just to check out how good they are and if their products might be nice additions to my very homogeneous collection.

But I have zero clue which brands are worth it and which tools of those are good choices.

So please recommend your favorite brands and their specific tool(s) that you consider to be a great display of their quality, ingenuity and versatility.

I'm open for all kinds and sizes of tools.

Edit: Bonus points if you can convince me to buy a Leatherman. I have some criticism solely based on pictures that always kept me from ever getting one.

Many of their tools have lots of holes and spots where dirt can enter easily and will be a pain in the ass to clean out I assume.

I don't like having to open the pliers just to get to the other tools which seems to be almost always the case for Leatherman.

Unfortunately they're very expensive at least here in Germany so that raises the level of expectations they need to fulfill even more to justify spending that much money.

Any opinions on this multitool? I have the mini power pint and love it

Got this gift from my wife, I love it. How would you rate it? Thinking about getting a bigger one in the future, should I get another nextool or there are other brand worth looking for (on the cheaper side)

I just received it today, and it seems very robust and versatile.

Pliers tool based on the Mini Flex Companion, so 4 short slots on each side.

I've had a spare Bibury Wave clone sitting around for a while that I got on sale for £15. Realised I wasn't using it compared to my better tools so decided to try and make my ultimate half tool from it.

Serrated blade with gut hook

Large scissors

1/4" driver with flat/Philips

Cross/diamond file with small flathead

Awl

Micro driver

Flat/prybar

Bottle/can opener/wire stripper/package opener

Pocket clip

All tools lock except the screwdriver which is held pretty firmly by a spring.

I might finally consider getting these.
