But that's it; if you're seeking all the tools possible, you'll be let down with this stripped-down modal. Of the remaining tools, though, our biggest complaint is with the bit driver. With the Skeletool CX, even more than with other models, Leatherman could have easily included a standard 1/4" bit driver. Still, we have tested this model for over three years, and it has slowly grown on us. Thus, the Skeletool is our top recommendation for a portable, daily multi-tool to leave clipped on your person at all times. Hammer multi tools make up just a small slice of the overall market.

Leatherman takes 90% of what makes the Charge so impressive and sells it for 60% of the cost. What you get is the Wave+ and an excellent value. The Leatherman Wingman is even less expensive, by a significant margin, but has fewer features and is made with lesser quality materials (though most users may not notice the weight savings of steel vs. titanium casing). For a full-featured tool, the Wave+ is the bargain shopper's choice. Never be caught unprepared again with this 16-in-1 outdoor multitool.

Hammer multi tools come in a variety of different shapes, sizes, and qualities. Many are little more than toys for adults while others actually give you a lot of value for your money. I particularly appreciated the unique design, where a hammer and pliers share the same space, yet function effortlessly. The hybrid design, with one handle of the pliers swinging out from the main body, while the other tools spring out Swiss Army style, had its charm and practical utility. Though the stainless steel body juxtaposed with attractive wood handles not only made it aesthetically pleasing but also robust enough to endure the rough and tumble of the outdoors.
