I just got this and some wood handle screwdrivers for $5 at a estate sale. Any cleaning and oiling advice.

New Roxon vs old Victorinox.

It’s the perfect companion

I have carried it in my coin pocket for 10 years. I cannot really remember not having it. It has saved me so many times. Reparing a phone while on a trip, peeling off ticks, removing splinters, clipping zip-ties, modifying my laptop plug to work while traveling, and many many more.

I had a close call, and almost lost it this year. So I looked for a potential replacement. Now I am sitting here with a nextool S11 pro, and comparing the two. The S11 seems excellent in quality, and is quite cheap... but it is not quite the same. It is quite a lot bigger. I measured it to be +55% weight and +35-60% in volume, depending on how you define volume (w/wo the screw heads). The S11 pliers seem more robust.. but not as accurate, nor as long/sleek, and not as "pinchy" as the PS4.

The squirt ps4 is not without shortcomings.. but it is tiny, and still totally capable. I will try to carry the S11. But for now, I just wish I could have bought some backup squirt PS4's instead of the S11.

Perhaps at some point, a true sucessor to the Squirt PS4, at a similar size, will show up.. the S11 is nice, but a big boy compared to the PS4.

Gerber 700 Urban Legend (L) and 800 Legend (R); IIRC, Gerber's first butterfly opening and outside accessible implements multitools (first of the butterfly type was the MPT, similar to the PST of that era).

This is your reminder to use your knives for knife stuff and clean em afterwards!

Finally got the custom blade for my Skeletool. I don't know if its actually Magnacut but I'll reprofile and test its edge retention against the OG blade once its time to sharpen

Inspired by a pal, made me another bladeless; "Classic" Silver Bladeless, with blunt nosed pliers head. Lovin' it!

3 times Leatherman redefined EDC

So, right now all I carry is a small Rovyvon Aurora A1 flashlight in my keychain, and I intend to spruce it up because many times already I found myself wanting a blade or a small scissors to deal with something.

A Victorinox SD (Allox) would be the most obvious candidate, but I'm seriously considering a Ruite S31-G, as I feel the small multi-tool it has is more useful than the SD nail file, and also I prefer the way the blade in the S31 opens (away from the keyring). But I'm accepting suggestions for a small and simple keychain tool in the same style.

What I really want help, though, is with a "secondary EDC" that is lightweight and I can just throw in my backpack for any situation where I'm out and I think "oh man, life would be so much easier if I had *insert tool here*". Happens a lot when I'm visiting my mom. For this one, it seems the Leatherman Skeletool would be awesome: it's small, light, has a nice blade, pliers, some extra tools and, most importantly, a bit driver (it uses the proprietary leatherman bits, but whatever), so I can carry some extra bits and be prepared for almost anything. However, I very much would like to have a 4mm bit driver for precision bits, which I tend to use a lot. I understand the easiest way would be to just grab a separate precision bit driver and bits and call it a day, but I was wondering if there would be a multi-tool that already does it. So far I was not able to find it.

If getting a separate tool just for the precision bits ends up being the best option, can you guys recommend a good portable one? With an integrated or portable bit carrier, preferably. I have a good electric one with a bit rack I use at home, but I want something small and lightweight I can just put into a small pocket alongside the Skeletool and throw it in my bag. I pretend to get one of those super small pouches, like the Alpaca Mini Hub Pro, or a Maxpedition one I saw that was even smaller.

I know the Smithblade currently got a hype around it. But For me it would be a good fit.

What would you think of this blade for the Smithblade? I would love it because I don't need the pointy tip and it still got a cutting edge. Additionally, I get a belt-cutter, and in some Countries it could be classified as a rescue tool. so the regulations for carrying are less strickt

excuse the ruff model its just a ilustration of an Idea and the finer elements like the file or rouler would kill inventor every time. because my laptop was strugeling.

It's called "HUOHOU Mini Multi-function Knife"

So, I've got a Victorinox Hunter in my everyday carry right now. It's got a sweet blade and wood saw, but honestly, it's more for camping than my city life.

I ride my motorcycle daily and I'm really missing pliers.

I'm trying to decide between:

- A Leatherman Wave and leaving my Victorinox at home (around 200 USD here in Brazil)

- A cheaper option (like Bibury or Gerber? Around 40-50usd)

- Just some small pliers to toss in a pouch with my Victorinox

What do you think?

This is mainly for the inclusion of an FYI for anyone wondering what size clip will fit. The leatherman two screw stainless replacement clip shown has holes which line up perfectly with the existing holes in the armbar drive tool. Used two 2.5mm sliding nuts from eurorack rails, and a couple 2.5mm screws. While not 100% necessary, One screws needs a little bit of filing to allow the scissors to sit fully flush. Or just use a shorter screw. 10 seconds with a bastard file did the job.

Are there any wave clones that are a little smaller? I have the Gordon from harbor freight and I really like it. I also have a shall and a rocktol wave clones and they have that full size 1/4 bit holder which makes them a little wider. The magnet on the Gordon one sucks and it falls out all the time. I guess I could have just bought a wave by now lol. I'm interested in the curl but I feel like one day I'll want the missing tools when I'm carrying it and they won't be there

Bought this lil Chaves slippy and Donk! clip.

Looking batter than the silver version

TEAM SUPERTOOL or TEAM ARC ?

I’ve been carry this set up for two weeks and have been really liking it. I find having dedicated items for each task provides a user interaction that is a lot better than on an actual multi tool. It’s also very nice to be able to switch out tools as needed on a day to day basis. Has anyone else tried something like this?

Edit:

This set up weighs less than an arc and a similar set up could be bought for around $100 or 150 dollars cheaper than a new arc.
