Recommend multi tool

[Weetabix]

Oh, yeah. I like tools to be as small as they can be and still be practical and comfortable. I guess that's another reason I like the Wave.

I have a pocket Leatherman that I received as a gift back when I was on flying status. Fit very nicely in the sleeve pocket of a flight suit/jacket (where I could reach even if strapped in or in a parachute harness). A little small for jobs that need a lot of leverage, but it is always there and usually good enough.

Everything but the saw is in a Leatherman skeletool. I always carry that.

I also have a Swisstool spirit that is normally in my bag, but occasionally on my belt. It is a slightly smaller version of the Swisstool. I really like mine. I think I got it for 50 some dollars.

EDIT: sorry, no can opener on the skeletool.

I was looking at the Wave and then saw the OHT. Thoughts, anyone?

Gerber MP400 Sport hits everything but the saw, and is tough as hell. I love mine. You might even be able to pick up its big brother the MP600 on your budget. My dad has one of those and loves it too.

[workinwifdakids]

The MP400 Sport is on sale from $60 to $32 on Amazon right now.

And the 600 is on sale from $94 to $46.

Leatherman supported John Kerry in the 2004 election. I try to buy Gerber when I can, but I can't always do so. Your description is pretty close to a Leatherman MUT (which I love), even though it is very large and heavy.

Just look for something on sale. A multitool is never purchased for yourself, but for whomever steals or finds it down the line.

I thought that was for pens.

[Aesop]

Nah.
Nobody steals pens once they've seen where other people put theirs.
