leatherman multi-tool

[Linas]

I love my leatherman, but i want to get another one. One that is smaller than the one i own. Mine is too big to keep in my pocket, or even attached to my belt. Any recommendations on brands other than Leatherman, for good Leatherman style multi-tools? Im not opposed to getting another leatherman, just wana see what other options are.

Gerber makes a much better tool than Leatherman IMO. Not sure about the micro models, but the full sized Gerbers are awesome.

Another Gerber fan, keep one with me at all times. Dunno the model (no markings on it), but it folds up pretty tightly and is pretty portable.

Gerber

loved mine even after it was stolen, i would just stare at stuff wishing i still had it to fix it with.

+1 to Gerber. my dad bought one about 12-14 years ago. the knife is still sharp and the mechanism still works flawlessly. i think it's pretty portable too. about the size of a cell phone

The Leatherman is great for short uses, but their design cuts into your hand - WHY did they make the handles fold so that the internal edges are the grip??

The Gerber is much kinder to your hands....but if you need a small one, there is a Mini-Leatherman that will fit nicely in your pocket, only 2.6 inches long:

And the Leatherman Squirt has the handles facing the right way at about the same size:
