Morganhuw Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Hi Thinking of buying a multitool to keep in my pocket for shows as I won't always be near my tool kit. Can anybody suggest a good multitool? Thanks M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryNattrass Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I use stanley multi tools that are similar to the leatherman ones but £5 for the small on and £12 for the larger one so its a lot easier on the wallet when they get lost or are not returned!

jonathanhill Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Don't bother, they are the work of Satan. Go and get the right tool for the job, then you won't wreck the multitool, your hands or the piece of kit you were supposed to be fixing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldradiohand Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 This is the standard multitool used by Land Rover owners.http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/4lb-club-hammer-with-fibreglass-shaft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timtheenchanteruk Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Oi, I resemble that remark ;) thats not a multitool, thats a hammer... this is a multitool http://www.transtools.co.uk/image/cache/HandTools/SIL633905-350x350.jpg :** laughs out loud **: Seriously, though, I have a gerber, and it gets very little use, I find it a universal one size fits nowt, I think the locking blade gets more use than anything else occasionally the pliers, it lives in the cubby of my LANDROVER :) but I usually head for the toolbox and get the proper thing out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart91 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I remember someone on one of the earlier threads describing a multitool as "definitively the wrong tool for any given job". But for light, quick, jobs it's hard to beat. I used to carry Leathermen religiously but have given up since they got lost / stolen so regularly. If some of the sub-£20 models are half decent I could be tempted again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alistermorton Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 My other half's leatherman crunch is useful at times, if only because it opens out to a miniature "mole wrench" and can clamp things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
