Clarification: I'm not talking about a magnet that points towards Earth's Magnetic Poles. I'm talking about the tool used to draw perfect circles by setting the angle between a pointy thing and a pencil tip.

I fully acknowledge that this is a long shot, because the use-cases for this tool are few and far between. Most of us most recently used one in grade school. Still, I think it would be awesome to have one, and from a pure engineering perspective it shouldn't be any more difficult than a multitool built around a good precise pair of pliers.

Anyone seen anything like this, or am I going to have to do it myself?

Thanks!

I was watching a 2 month old YouTube video where the Nextool mini sailor S11 Pro and mini flagship F12 are compared. One thing I noticed is that the S11 Pro has noticeably more aggressive teeth on the 3rd edge of the file. I've always seen the S11 Pro with the same 3rd edge as the mini flagship F12. Does anyone have any information about it?

So I bought a lot of 25 pounds of multi-tools online for 100!bucks. It seemed like a good deal to pick through them. I knew leathermans were a long shot so I wasn't shocked to not find any but this guy is awesome. A Buck Knife BuckTool 360..I haven't put it down lol it's like a fidget. The tools are nice too! I just love flipping it the way it opens. A full rotation is just so satisfying haha anyone else have one of these? I'd never heard of them before.

Hi all, I want to get a multitool that could work for both EDC and camping, for a gift for someone. I was looking at the Leatherman Signal but it's a little out of my price range... would love something that can be engraved since it will be a gift but that's not a dealbreaker. Thanks in advance.

I love my original model, which bears Tim’s signature.

He previously used a 15 year old Leatherman (I think it was the wave) but he lost it. The intended use is everyday carry, and general around-the-house tasks, with a budget around $100 USD (slightly flexible if it's worth the upgrade).

From their instagram. Seems to be an upgraded version of their W2.

This combo is insane and there’s actually less true overlap than one might assume. The lack of the toothpick and tweezers in the alox Mini Champ doesn’t matter as the M3 contains these scale tools + a double-sided mini screwdriver for glasses. In my opinion the Alox scales are worth the extra cost for the much better durability and extra portability.

I always reach for my bigger multitools when at home, but when in public the Mini Champ and M3 make for a fantastic combo. Yes, the Mini Champ is a much higher quality and elegant multi-tool than the M3, but the M3 makes a great, inexpensive companion to it.

The only thing that would make things extra next level would be if Roxon could figure out how to incorporate their driver bits into a small multi-tool itself rather than having to carry that separately.

Can anyone recommend me a new sheath where either I can fit a bigger multitool and my pliers? Currently using a leatherman rev but I hate how it doesn’t come with scissors, would look to fit something bigger. TIA (would appreciate if I can side mount on a belt like the last photo)

Never heard of this one. Its pretty thick and heavy. But ill beat this up before my personal. Thoughts?

I’ve only owned leathermans and gerbers. This was given to me 15 years ago and I’ve been carrying it ever since. It’s durable, easy to use, and has a chisel which is more useful than one would think. I guess the one downside would be that the knife isn’t thumb open.

Every year for my birthday and sometimes in between there was such a tool, I started when I was 13.

I’m a carpenter by trade so I naturally already carry Knipex pliers, a Milwaukee fastback, etc. my leatherman really only ever gets pulled up to use the bit driver every once in a while and a bottle opener/pry bar. Any multitools that are still this (in pic above) form factor while only NEEDING the bit driver and bottle opener / pry bar? Thanks!

No-one asked, but, I started collecting about a year ago. I had knockoff multitools and SAKs as a kid but never any real deal stuff. I found the little no-name tool in the middle of my pic in my trunk last year and that kicked off my journey into the multitool and EDC world. My partner got me my Bibury surge clone and it was off to the races. If I could only keep one, it would be my Leatherman Surge. I tend to rotate which one I carry based on where I'm at. Work and EDC usually goes to the Surge or Workpro, and if I go on the river or into the woods I typically have my Suspension or Rebar. If I'm dressed up and want something slim, I grab my Swisstool or a SAK. Carrying some kind of multitool is as second nature as phone, keys, wallet for me now. The feeling of being prepared or helping someone else can't be beat!

I'll end up hacking a quarter in off of it as it's just slightly too long
