Compact utility tools and portable multitools

The belt-carried toolbox — full-size multitools from Leatherman, Victorinox, SOG and Gerber.

Pliers-first platforms

Spring or locking, one-hand or classic — layouts define daily usefulness more than tool counts.

Warranty wars won

Legacy brands back these for decades; buy the layout, keep the lifetime.

Tool up

See our multi-tool guide, then sheath it via Clip & Carry.
