I've tested dozens of cheap multitools, and these are the few that I still use today
"I like having a good multitool close at hand at all times. While they can't replace a proper toolkit, I don't fancy carrying a full toolkit with me when I'm out and about. Many of my readers are like me, often finding themselves doing random and unplanned DIY tasks throughout the day, so having a portable toolkit that can handle the basics is essential."
"And these are real warranties. I know because I've had to use them a few times over the years. I use and misuse my tools -- after all, any tool can be a substitute for a hammer if you're creative enough! As a result, I've managed to break a few blades and even the pliers. But each time, the issue was dealt with promptly and to my complete satisfaction."
Leatherman and Gerber offer the most reliable multitools due to robust warranties and repairable designs. Warranty coverage and the ability to repair or replace worn parts matter more than low purchase price. Replaceable wire cutters prolong tool life because cutters endure heavy use cutting wire, bolts, metal, and screws. Multitools provide portable basic tools for unplanned DIY tasks but do not replace a full toolkit. Prompt warranty service and available repairs allow decades of reliable use when tools are maintained and not lost. Prioritizing repairability and long warranties yields better long-term value than buying cheap, non-repairable multitools.
