And while it is a perfect companion to that keychain of yours, you can also slip the Mini Sailor into a pocket-even a change pocket-and you’ll probably forget it's even there. Of this compact but capable tool, he says: “It's very budget friendly, has a fantastic toolset at less than three ounces, and it may be all that the majority of individuals need.” Indeed, most of us won't need more than the screwing, slicing, gripping and twisting that this little tool’s many components allow. Weight: 0.14 pounds | Primary blade length: 1.8 inches | Number of tools: 11įolded closed, the NexTool Mini Sailor Keychain Multitool measures all of 2.63 inches in length no wonder it’s one that Dominic of Maxlvledc always has on hand (or, more precisely, on his keychain). And not that looks should matter in this product category, but this multitool is easy on the eyes, for the record. Note that Victorninox states the total number of tools the Swiss Tool Spirit MX Clip has is 24, but as they count the pocket clip, lanyard hole and “coupling for corkscrew” among those, we’re pulling it back to 21 tools in total, which is still quite impressive. Added to the standard scissors and knife and screwdrivers and such that you always expect in a multitool, this one has an industrious little saw, multiple wire and cable cutters and a clever clip that keeps the tool secure in your pocket. This multitool is crafted with high-grade steel and precision machining every tool opens, locks, and returns home with ease, the blades are surgical sharp on arrival and the curation of tools is topnotch. Also little wonder that its Swiss Tool Spirit MX Clip is of the utmost quality. Little surprise that the vaunted brand Victornix-maker of the classic Swiss Army Knife, elegant watches and even upscale luggage and fragrances-makes one of the most beautiful multitools around.

And besides, that large size of the MT16 has some benefits: You’ll enjoy a secure grasp on this tool-aided by its soft grip pads-using your entire fist, which lets you add leverage as you screw, slice, strip or pry. In fact, many people report the MT16 being too bulky and heavy for comfortable carry in a pocket, and it doesn’t come with a belt case, so you may have to improvise, but given that this is a durable, full-sized multitool that costs less than $25, you’ll have the cash on hand to buy one. And like an actual workhorse-a Clydesdale, for example-it’s big and bulky. The DeWalt MT16 is a workhorse of a multitool.

Dominic of Maxlvledc calls the Leatherman Bond “the spiritual successor to the that in many ways improves on the toolset of the original without missing the things that made it great.” Leatherman is the stand-in term for the multitool itself not only because the brand (and the man, Tim Leatherman) defined the segment, but because their tools remain excellent to this day. Think Band-Aid or Q-Tip or Xerox, for example, which are used in lieu of the generic words bandage, cotton swab or copier. Some brands come to be used as shorthand for an entire product category for good reason: they’re great brands. Weight: 0.38 pounds | Primary blade length: 2.9 inches | Number of tools: 14
