They typically come with some type of <strong>hip holster or sheath<\/strong> that makes them easier to tote around.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id_430184-92 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id_430184-92 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id_430184-92 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);max-width:var( --global-content-width, 1290px );padding-left:var(--global-content-edge-padding);padding-right:var(--global-content-edge-padding);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id_430184-92 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id_430184-92 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id_430184-92 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id_430184-92 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top kb-theme-content-width\">\n<style>.kadence-column_7c9ab8-d7 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_7c9ab8-d7 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column_7c9ab8-d7 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_7c9ab8-d7 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_7c9ab8-d7 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_7c9ab8-d7 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_7c9ab8-d7{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_7c9ab8-d7 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_7c9ab8-d7 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column_7c9ab8-d7\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/what-do-i-need-on-a-multi-tool-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11677\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/what-do-i-need-on-a-multi-tool-1.jpg 900w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/what-do-i-need-on-a-multi-tool-1-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/what-do-i-need-on-a-multi-tool-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/what-do-i-need-on-a-multi-tool-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/what-do-i-need-on-a-multi-tool-1-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/what-do-i-need-on-a-multi-tool-1-800x600.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Identify Your Needs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s another important question to ask yourself: why do you want a multi-tool? Or, to put it another way, what are the tasks that you really need your multi-tool to accomplish? It might be a good idea to jot down a quick list of your <em>\u201cneeds\u201d<\/em> and <em>\u201cwants\u201d<\/em> before you start adding things to your shopping cart.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might need a particular set of functions to match your profession, especially if you\u2019re an <strong>electrician, a carpenter, a plumber, a mechanic,<\/strong> or anyone else who works with their hands a lot. On the other hand, you may already have all the dedicated tools you need for your actual job, and just want a <strong>jack-of-all-trades multi-tool.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about your hobbies too. They make multi-tools <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/43O1hOZ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">for cyclists<\/a>, multi-tools for <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3WX2aCG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fishermen<\/a>, and multi-tools that are aimed toward just about every niche market there is. These are great options if you need something that is finely tuned to a specific purpose, but remember that their features may or may not really be all that different from some of the more generalized multi-tools you could buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n\n            \n            \n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--horizontal\"

A firm dividing line can be drawn between multi-tools that include pliers, and those that don\u2019t.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, do you want a multi-tool with pliers? Unless you\u2019re somebody like me who already <a href=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/should-i-carry-pliers-in-my-edc\/\">carries around a pair of pliers<\/a>, the answer is probably \u201cyes.\u201d Having a set of pliers integrated into your multi-tool can be incredibly handy, especially considering that most multi-tool pliers also include a wire-cutting tool.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you buy a multi-tool with pliers, consider the type of pliers you want. <strong>Needle-nosed pliers are handy for grasping small items in tight spaces, but broader pliers often give you a stronger grip.<\/strong> Think about the configuration of the multi-tool as well. Pliers-based multi-tools in which the other tools open up from the inside of the handles are often more comfortable than those that open from the outside.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And of course, if you don\u2019t want pliers, you have plenty of options without them. The classic <strong>Victorinox Swiss Army Knife<\/strong> is an iconic example of a <strong>great multi-tool <\/strong>that gives you <strong>plenty of functionality<\/strong> sans pliers. <strong>Gerber <\/strong>has also gotten into the no-pliers game with their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Gerber-Armbar-Multi-Tool-Screwdriver-31-003567\/dp\/B084D5G9ZR\">Armbar Drive Multi-Tool<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id_4af6f2-02 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id_4af6f2-02 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id_4af6f2-02 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);max-width:var( --global-content-width, 1290px );padding-left:var(--global-content-edge-padding);padding-right:var(--global-content-edge-padding);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id_4af6f2-02 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id_4af6f2-02 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id_4af6f2-02 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id_4af6f2-02 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top kb-theme-content-width\">\n<style>.kadence-column_03205e-27 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_03205e-27 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column_03205e-27 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_03205e-27 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_03205e-27 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_03205e-27 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_03205e-27{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_03205e-27 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_03205e-27 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column_03205e-27\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/saw-blade-on-multiool-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11678\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/saw-blade-on-multiool-1.jpg 900w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/saw-blade-on-multiool-1-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/saw-blade-on-multiool-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/saw-blade-on-multiool-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/saw-blade-on-multiool-1-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/saw-blade-on-multiool-1-800x600.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3qDEJly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Leatherman Signal On Amazon<\/a><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Blade Or No Blade?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all multi-tools have a knife blade, but most of them do. It\u2019s probably the most common multi-tool feature, but also one of the most redundant because so many people already carry a folding pocket knife. Most dedicated <a href=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/best-pocket-knives-for-beginners\/\">pocket knives<\/a> are also better than the blades that come on an average multi-tool.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Basically you have three choices when it comes to blades on multi-tools:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Get a multitool without a blade.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Get a multi-tool with a crappy blade.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Get a multi-tool with a good blade.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ll tell you right now, <strong>option 2 is the most common<\/strong>. Far too many multi-tools have blades that are too small, too hard to access, made of low-quality steel, and just generally aren\u2019t great. And look, if you carry a good <a href=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/how-much-should-you-spend-on-a-pocket-knife\/\">pocket knife<\/a> and are okay with a multi-tool that has a cheap \u201cbeater blade\u201d that\u2019s a perfectly valid choice. But I\u2019m going to advocate for choosing either <strong>option 1 or option 3 instead.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are plenty of good reasons to get a multi-tool without a blade. If you already carry a knife, going bladeless allows you to shed some weight and focus on the tools you really need. Plus, <strong>many blade-free multi-tools are TSA-approved, so you can even fly with them. <\/strong>You know, in case somebody asks you to fix the plane.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do want a blade on your multi-tool, make it a good one. At the very least, pick a blade of a usable length and that isn\u2019t made of total bottom-of-the-barrel steel. If you can\u2019t find out what kind of steel a particular blade is made of, chances are it\u2019s not good.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most Leatherman multi-tools have 420HC stainless steel blades, which are at the very least corrosion-resistant and easy to sharpen. True premium steel blades are hard to come by on multi-tools, but the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pjtra.com\/t\/8-12579-228787-228658?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.leatherman.com%2Fcharge-tti-7.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Leatherman Charge+ TTi<\/a> is one that has a blade made of S30V, which is really good stuff.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id_bb2e7c-75 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id_bb2e7c-75 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id_bb2e7c-75 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);max-width:var( --global-content-width, 1290px );padding-left:var(--global-content-edge-padding);padding-right:var(--global-content-edge-padding);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id_bb2e7c-75 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id_bb2e7c-75 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id_bb2e7c-75 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id_bb2e7c-75 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top kb-theme-content-width\">\n<style>.kadence-column_003269-27 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_003269-27 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column_003269-27 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_003269-27 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_003269-27 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_003269-27 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_003269-27{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_003269-27 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_003269-27 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column_003269-27\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/edc-multitools-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11681\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/edc-multitools-1.jpg 900w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/edc-multitools-1-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/edc-multitools-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/edc-multitools-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/edc-multitools-1-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/edc-multitools-1-800x600.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/gerber-armbar-drive-review\/\">Read My Review Of The Gerber ArmBar Here<\/a><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Avoid BS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent years, multi-tool manufacturers have been getting more creative with the ways they integrate stranger and stranger features into their multi-tools.
