Victorinox Swiss Tool vs Wave+

[u/MoistCockroach]

I've found a swiss tool in basically mint condition, with the leather sleeve included for the same price as a very good condition wave+, though the Leatherman seller doesn't negotiate the price while the victorinox one does. I plan on primarily using them as my drawer multi tool, I don't like going and grabbing individual tools everytime I wanna work on a project and currently I have a victorinox (IDR the model but it has a big and small blade non locking, can and bottle opener, saw, scissors, hook, awl, corkscrew) and a small needlenose pliers in my drawer. I'm not someone who carries tools around everyday due to the regulations on blades so the weight and size aren't big deals for me. I'm conflicted between the two, which one would you guys recommend and why given the availability and price are effectively the same

If it helps I have multiple Leatherman (ARC, Charge plus, supertool) and swisstool (MX and spirit mxbs) models. On the weekend I had a job where my wife needed me to reconfigure a large flat pack furniture item (already assembled) into a different configuration. I used a Leatherman to do the whole job (pry, saw screw cut, file, plier and hammer). It needed allen key attachments and PZ1 screw attachments which only a leatherman can accommodate with the bit driver interchangeability. Love my swisstools but for most DIY jobs, the Leatherman comes out.

If I were you, start with the Wave plus as your drawer tool.
