Gerber. I've had my current onefor over 10 years. Use it everyday landscaping with no issues. Plus it survived 2 combat tours. I had an issue with a old one which I striped the Phillips head 2 weeks before a deployment. Gerber replaced the whole thing & upgraded it to boot. Won't use anything else.
It's been a long road. Getting from there to here.
Going where my heart will take me.

x2 Tried the Gerbers and they always pinched my hand when using them as pliers. Leatherman never has pinched me.

I use a Gerber MP600 black with the replaceable carbide jaw inserts. I don't like the knife on it much, but the file does pretty good and the other bits are handy. I've carried it for 3-4 years now I guess and it just keeps going. I have been pinched by it but I can put the pliers into service with one hand where the Leatherman one's I've seen all take two hands.

NEVER leaves my hip.
Best tool I have. Great piece of equipment.
The removable and replaceable bits and saw, file (serated and diamond!), punch and optional blades are amazing.
Well built, mime is 3 years old, both blades still sharp and moving parts are smooth amd effortless.

Im a bit of a knife nut so I always carry one of my spydercos and a Leatherman OHT. Its pliers slide out the front and can be easily opened with one hand!

Leatherman Surge in a Nays Custom Leathers Holster. If you haven't looked into a holster from nayscustomleather on etsy, do it. Fits like a glove, and takes whatever you throw at it.

The surge is bigger and has a couple different tools. I've had both, I broke my wave. I still need to send it back to be replaced. Nice that leatherman has a lifetime warranty.

When I'm working, I'll carry a Wingman. It's cheap, I own a few, and don't mind loaning them out. Heard of too many people lose their pricey ones on set, or never get them back from "borrowers".
Sometimes I'll additionally pouch carry a Skeletool with all the little bits.
On my person at all times:
-Gerber Shard (most used)
-Titanium Phillips/Flathead driver
-Nite Ize DoohicKey

I've had the Gerber Multi-Plier for years! I actually have two. One I carry at work, the other is my EDC. Never had any trouble with either. Never pinched me, and I love the one-handed opening.
I am looking for a new leather holster for my EDC. Need a good strong belt loop. I wore out the nylon one that came with the Gerber, so I found a leather one at a surplus store. But the belt loop is less than substantial- I'm worried it will let go one of these days, and risk loosing the Gerber if I don't notice. So I'd like to replace it for a more substantial leather one. Any ideas?
