Personally, I did not enjoy using them and I probably never will again. There have been a few plier based multi-tools I have used in the past that didn’t have locking mechanisms. This prevents the tool from moving when in use., making it more effective but also much safer to use. So, when I extend the knife blade from the frame it will lock into place. Most multi-tools today are built with locking mechanisms for the individual tools.

I am a heavy user of multi-tools so carrying it in sheath on my belt has always been the logical choice for me. And it protects all of the moving parts of a multi-tool from unwanted debris. In my opinion it is always best to use a sheath or carrying pouch. Most come with a sheath and weather or not to use is a personal choice. I know a number of people who simply put their multi-tool in their pocket, glove box or day pack. That is not to say those type of multi-tool are ineffective or of low quality. So, I tend to stay away from ones that have a lot of bits included. Personally, I don’t use the screwdriver function all that much. Weed out the ones that have too many tools you won’t use. There are so many different types of multi-tools nowadays that you really need to look at all of the tools that are included. In that situation, you obviously want something you can depend on and not something that is going to break after a few uses. About the only time I would suggest buying a high-quality tool that you are not going to use on a daily basis, is if that item is going into your pack as a survival tool. What you are going to use it for determines the quality you need. You can purchase a cheap keyring multi-tool at your local gas station or spend hundreds of dollars for a big brand name one. Whereas, say, a librarian could get by without using one or at least one where the quality really doesn’t matter. Having a high quality multi-tool makes sense for someone who works in field where tools are part of their everyday life. Like, what am I using it for or am I really going use this? For multi-tools this helps to determine a couple of things for the user. When people have asked me for gear recommendations in the past, I have often told them to ask themselves a few questions first. These seem to be the most popular and the most useful for the majority of people. The tools on these are really only for bicycle maintenance and repair (although if need be, with a little imagination I’m sure they could be used for other purposes) This article will primarily be focused on plier based multi-tools. Then there are multi-tools that are very specific in their use, such as ones made for the bicycle enthusiast. There are shovels that remind me of transformers and can turn into spears or advertised as hacking through glaciers. For ultra-compact models there are credit card style multi-tools that easily fit inside of a wallet. There are ones that are small and fit on a keychain. Multi-tools have come a long way and there many, many different kinds out there. This is great when it comes to cutting tasks but because increased blade length, it may limit where you can carry the multi-tool.
