Features
The Wave boasts 17 different tools. it includes three different screwdrivers, needle nose pliers, regular pliers, a saw, two different wire cutters, plain edge knife, serrated knife, scissors, ruler, can opener, bottle opener, wood/metal file, and even a diamond-coated file. I hope I didn't miss one...

Ease of Use
The design seems to be thought out pretty well, allowing easy and practical use with tools that are easy to access, yet do not get in the way. Although the Wave is a bit heavy, that is really just a downside, if at all, of being constructed of quality materials. The 420HC stainless steel construction will hold up under continuous long-term use. I personally still use an older Leatherman model that I picked up more than ten years ago, one which I have put through utter hell. Yet, despite not being as pretty as it was when I first got it, it still works perfectly.
This is a great tool for everyday use. For camping and hiking, the wave is an excellent choice. In fact, both knife blades are longer than the blades on other popular tools such as Gerber's Multi-Plier 600 as well as some options from SOG.

Durability
I think the brand itself is known by many as a solidly built tool. Although not the Wave model, I picked up a higher end Leatherman many years ago, exposed it to some serious abuse while in the military, and still I use the exact same one to this day. In my opinion, that says quite a bit about the quality.

Portability
This tool from Leatherman is a small design that fits in your hand and is easily carried around with you for quick access in case you run into an issue where you need a tool. This multi-tool also is lightweight so it will fit into your pocket and not weigh you down.

Features
While I was not able to narrow down one specific feature which stands out with this tool, I would say the entire package is the feature. This is a lower profile model that is capable of tasks that the bulkier models tend to focus on more.

Ease of Use
This one has a really clean overall design and is simple to use. The beauty of this model, for many, is the lack of unnecessary tools that you might find in some models which boast enormous collections of attributes, some of which you will never use in basic applications. The titanium handle adds even more value to this model, as it does lighten the overall weight and adds strength to the construction materials. While the outward appearance is rather streamlined, this one is extremely capable.

Though the Charge doesn't really boast a super special attribute, you will find that the included tools are all of the high-quality design as well as totally practical in use. The typical choice of both serrated and plain edge knife blades, a fairly aggressive saw, scissors, small drive bit and a file. Additionally, The Leatherman Charge is available with a great set of bits, which greatly increase the overall practicality of this set.

Durability
Come on, it's a Leatherman! Seriously though, the simplicity of the design doesn't offer those extra gadgets that may break or get lost easier than the overall tool. The case is made of durable Cordura, and the accessory bits are carried in a rubbery plastic sort of holster. Also, the handle has some increased durability due to its titanium construction. In all the build of this one really is quite solid, and seems to hold up very well under consistent repetitive use, especially when used for outdoor activities.

Portability
Like many tools from Leatherman, this tool is compact and easily fits into your pocket to give you quick access and convenience if you run into a situation where you need a tool. It is also lightweight and folds up conveniently so that even though you have the tool on you, you will not notice you are carrying it around.

Features
This multi-tool comes with 12 different tools as well as a great set of pliers. The tools included are two saws, can opener, nail file, scissors, screwdriver, and 2 knives. The tools are built with quality steel and will help you with any obstacle you find yourself facing. The biggest tool is the set of pliers and the other tools fit securely in the handle of the tool.

Ease of use
This tool like many multi-tools is quite easy to use as most tools are hidden in the handle of the main tool. Where you find that a multi-tool is easier to use than another is when you go to access the tool within the handle and how easy it is to pull out. Also, you want o to consider after you have access to the tool, how it is placed and if you can get use it efficiently. This tool from Gerber allows for the tools to be accessed easily and also is in a convenient location that you can use the tool without issue or any of the other tools getting in the way.

Durability
This tool like all tools from Gerber are made to last and can take anything you throw at it. To be honest you are most likely to lose this tool before it breaks so if you take great care of it and keep it accessible than you should have this multi-tool for many years. Even if it does break, Gerber offers you a lifetime warranty so you can tell that Gerber is convenient in their tools.

Portability
This multi-tool from Gerber is lightweight and comes in at weighing 9oz. So it is a tool that can be carried around conveniently and allows you to have access to a number of tools if needed.

Features
You get a great product with this multi-tool, which features the usual parts of a Swiss Army knife plus extra plier features. The manufacturer lists over twenty-six features in this one multi-tool product. The different design features built into this product include a wire bender, wire stripper, wire cutter, cable cutters, and much more. All in all, the product can do a lot and features about ten total tools in their overall design.

Ease of Use
This multi-tool comes designed with two rounded corners for additional comfort. The other two are not rounded, yet, the tool is comfortable to hold and easy-to-use. The unique design of this tool allows you to access each tool from the outside handle, making it very easy to use in a hurry. You simply press the release button when you are finished with a tool and it slides back into place.

Durability
The Swiss are famous for many things, including the Swiss Army Knife. This is similar and Swiss made, so you know it's great quality. You’ll get excellent strength in this quality product, which is built to last for years. The tool is so strong, you won’t have to worry about it losing its ability to function. Aside from the built-in confidence, you will also receive a lifetime warranty with this product.

Portability
This multi-tool from the Swiss Army is built with durability in mind and also is lightweight to ensure you get access to the best tools and can carry this multi-tool with you with ease.

Features
The Leatherman Squirt PS4 resembles the Leatherman Wingman in features. You get the same features with this smaller model, in a much more compact and lightweight multi-tool. This tool only weighs 2-ounces and features 9 tools, such as scissors, tweezers, wire cutters, and a knife blade.

Ease of Use
This multi-tool is only 2.25 inches long. Made to be compact and lightweight, the design of the Leatherman Squirt PS4 is excellent, bringing everything you need in a simple and small multi-tool.
Although the blade designed into this multi-tool is small, it still functions well and does the job. You get a sharp, durable blade, a bottle opener, a file, and screwdrivers.

Durability
As one would expect from Leatherman, made with quality steel and aluminum, this small multi-tool is still built to be very tough. Do not let it's small size fool you, it is very durable and will give you years of use. Coming with no surprise, this tool also features a 25-year limited warranty.

Portability
This tool as many that come from Leatherman is easily transported with you as they are lightweight yet durable. This tool is no exception as it can fit in your pocket and used easily if a situation arises.

Features
The major feature that steals the show for SOG's Power Assist is the design and function of the tool's pliers. Instead of a simple opposing hinge, the pliers operate with a linkage that allows more pressure to be applied without as much effort, thus increasing the grip-ability of the tool. The Power Assist also contains other useful tools such as a serrated blade, straight edge blade, hard wire cutter, wire crimper, v cutter, ruler, bolt grip channel, bottle opener, can opener, 3 sided file, small, medium and large flathead screwdrivers, Phillips screwdriver, needle nose pliers and a crimper for blasting caps (which most won't find very useful).

Ease of Use
The overall design is really similar to any other multi-tool. However, this one has a feature built into its design that many others aren't built with. SOG's Power Assist has pliers which utilize compound leverage. This means that the pliers operate with the function of multiple pivot points to allow the user to apply more force, while not requiring more effort to be exerted. If you've ever tried to use a pair of pliers on a frozen bolt, and just couldn't get a solid enough grip to get the job done, then you’ll love these. The design among most multi-tools doesn't differ too much, but the tools and functionality of the Power Assist certainly do. SOG is known for heavier duty knives and tools, so we didn't really expect this one to be very lightweight. This tool is really practical for most applications, but especially for outdoor use. As this one was clearly designed for military use, the functionality and arrangement of the attached tools seem to be set up quite well. One thing that we are noticing, is that we're seeing more models produced with more than one option of an attached knife blade. When you have the choice of either a serrated blade or plain edge blade, the options of usability increase.

Durability
SOG has a product line that is known for being built on the heavy-duty side. From their bowie knives to their smaller utility knives, many are quite bulky and heavier weight pieces. The SOG Power Assist is no exception to that approach. It seems that this model will last through plenty of use, and possibly some abuse.

Portability
This multi-tool is lightweight and can easily fit in your pocket or backpack. It is a great tool to have on your person in case an emergency arises and you need quick access to some tools.

Features
The Wingman includes 14 of the basic multi-tool tools, such as a knife, ruler, file, wire cutters, screwdriver, and wire stripper. Made with some great features, the Leatherman Wingman comes with an integrated pocket clip and some external opening tools. You’ll get an innovative package opener and something that is easy to carry.

Ease of Use
The Leatherman Wingman is made to fit easily into your pocket and folds down simply. You’ll be able to hold it down, keep it closed, and carry it along with you easily. Even better, you can do all of this just one hand. For its price, the Leatherman Wingman brings you a very practical tool that provides you with a lot of tool options. You’ll get all the tools you need in one simple to use multi-tool.

Durability
Again, considering the fact this multi-tool is inexpensive, you’ll get a lot for what you invest in it. It’s durable and long-lasting, and you’ll be able to use it for many years. There is a 25-year limited warranty, if something breaks or isn't up to par you can send it in and Leatherman will repair it.

Portability
This multi-tool is a little bulkier and bigger than some of the others on our list but is still lightweight and easy to carry. It may be better suited to be carried in your jean pockets or a backpack, as it may be a bit big to store in the front pocket of your shirt.

Features
You get several features in this lightweight and compact multi-tool, but because of its small size, it doesn’t offer as much as a full multi-tool. The Gerber Dime does come with a small set of pliers, knife blade, scissors, a package opener, and a simple screwdriver. You will also get a bottle opener with this multi-tool.
Ease of Use
Made to be a small, keychain-sized multi-tool, you’ll get everything you really need packed into one great product. However, if you’re really looking for a multi-tool that has absolutely everything you could ever imagine, then you’ll want to consider purchasing one of the full-sized multi-tools on our list. This is a practical multi-tool if you are looking for something small and compact to use. However, just know you won’t get everything that you’d typically get with a heavier multi-tool.

Durability
Even for its small size, the Gerber Dime is quite durable and will last for several years. The materials built into this product are all high-quality, and you’ll get a long-lasting, lightweight multi-tool.

Portability
This multi-tool folds up conveniently and all the tools fit perfectly in the handle of the tool. It is also lightweight and can be easily carried on your person. If you are looking for an affordable and lightweight multi-tool this may be the one for you.

Features
In all, the Diesel offers 14 tools plus the release button for the jaw, contained in one sturdy unit. The list includes needle nose pliers, standard pliers portion partially serrated knife blade, coarse & fine file, saw blade, small, medium and large flathead screwdrivers, scissors, wire cutter, and of course we can't forget the can and bottle openers.

Ease of Use
Even Gerber acknowledges that this is one of the biggest and bulkiest models on the market. There is something to be said for a tool that has the weight and feels to let you know it can actually be used for its intended purpose. The small complaint that I have about the design is the fact that the tip of the pliers stay partially exposed, which isn't always super great when you carry it in your pocket. The overall design style is boxy with exposed controls and no stylish curves. That statement isn't meant to be negative. The Diesel is one of those things that seems to be built to perform rather than show off, which is good if you don't care about having something flashy. The location of the Safe.T.Plus locking sliders is something that takes some getting used to, in order to avoid disengaging the safety lock during use.

Durability
If anyone has ever owned a Gerber, you will most likely know what I am referring to when I talk about the "rattle". Many of their models tend to work slightly loose after a short while of use, giving that rattle and even wider spread parts when folded. For most, that is one of those things which becomes tolerated, simply tightening everything up once in a while, since the overall function is great. With the newer versions, that issue seems to have been remedied with tighter construction. That also means you can say goodbye to the handle pinch that would happen sometimes. This one has a pretty bulky build and sturdy construction, which allows it to be used in some really undesirable conditions, without issue.

Portability
This multi-tool from Gerber is built to last and also comes with a carrying case for easy portability. The carrying case not only allows you to transport your multi-tool with ease but also allows for easy storage and protects your multi-tool when not in use.

Features
The Skeletool comes with pliers with a blade and a bit driver. The pliers have effective wire cutters which set it apart from other similar multitools. They key/lanyard clip doubles as a bottle opener. The bit driver allows almost unlimited accessorization. The but driver also comes with a 1/4 driver and comes with two double-ended bits for a total of four functions. There is an upgrade pack that has more bits.

Ease of Use
The design of the Skeletool multi-tool is made to be lightweight and ergonomic. The main bad is large, well-organized, and accessible with a one-thumb swipe. The pliers are made of rounded carbon fiber. This makes for a comfortable multi-tool. The only downfall we have seen to this product is the fact that the tools can be very stiff in their place. While this is great for safety, it can be an annoyance when trying to quickly fix something. Leatherman did make a practical tool with this design, that should offer you a lot of good use and functionality.

Durability
Made from stainless steel with a nylon sheath style, this tool won't be wimping out on you anytime soon. The tool is bound to get scratched and endure some beatings over the years but reviewers rave that this is a strong product. If that doesn't convince you, the fact that this is a Leatherman means that it comes with a 25-year limited warranty.

Portability
This multi-tool from Leatherman is not only lightweight but also comes with a carrying case to protect your multi-tool when not in use and also allows you to store your multi-tool conveniently.
