Who brings a multi tool?

[charvey9]

I carry a Leathermen Wave. The same one I've had for 15 years. There is just no substitute for a set of pliers in the field when you need them. I'm tempted by the Skeletool, but it does not have a saw....which is also really useful.

I wish they would make a skeletool with the bow hunter in mind. Pliers, Blade, Saw, and a few of the common allen keys would be perfect.

Skeletool CX. Cut the goofy hook off and you lose a bunch of weight and retain the screwdriver.

I broke a blade on my havalon then cut myself pretty good changing it. Now I carry a leather man super tool. I bit heavy but I already had it so I figured why buy another one.

Knive and a leatherman wave for me. The wave is a gear back up and I like to use some of the tools to help get the hide off from around some of the difficult horn and antler bases.

Not exactly what you're looking for, but some archery specific tools without too much extra weight:

I carry a leatherman. The little bits you can buy are awesome. They have every Allen you will need for your bow. I switched from a Wave to Mut this year, but the Mut is not a lightweight tool.

Leatherman wave and havalon for me. Never used the Leatherman though.

I always carry a Leatherman, I forget which model. It stays on my waist belt. I find it is much safer to use pliars to change Havalon blades when you have bloody, slippery hands. My trekking poles can use a tightening once in a while too.

+1 for the leatherman wave. It is a tad bit on the heavy side but man, it will do whatever you want. I also carry the bit set with it---you can pretty much do anything on a rifle that may come up.

On a side note----a couple of years ago, I shot a really nice bull elk at the bottom of a canyon. My bro was with me and we had left our packs at the top for the final stalk in. Well, that turned out to be a huge mistake as it ended up being a longer stalk and the packs ended up 800 feet vertical above us at the top. When we got to the elk, I looked at my brother and said, "You got a knife?" He said, "Yeah, it's in my pack." And pointed at the top. So..................I ended up quartering and dressing the huge bull with my leatherman wave. It actually worked great.

Leatherman Charge Tti and a few select bits.

I carry a SOG pocket power plier, their most basic version with minimal tools, pliers, knife, file, flat and phillips screw heads, can/bottle opener, awl head. Pliers are a huge help in the field, I've used them often to help turn the heads on animals while skinning, is a huge help when turning the paws on bears.

I don't and have yet to feel I needed one on a backpacking trip. Come to think of it, I barley use my knife.

Gerber recoil for me

Aron, which route did you decide on? Did a multitool replace the folder? If so, which multitool?

Thanks!

I carry a Leatherman Wave. I carry it because it is one of the few multi tools that you can open the blade one-handed, and without opening the whole tool. The Wave can open two blades, one serrated and one not, using only one hand.

 

[scanbarker]

I used to carry a multitool, but only ever really used the pliers. I just pack some needle nosed pliers now, and works fine for me.

I also love the Wave. I have three, and three old models Leathermans. I have them everywhere. In every pack, in the truck, in my desk drawer. Million and one uses.

I have the origional Leatherman with the tool adapter that clips in between the handles when its closed. It accepts standard 1/4 hex bits and can be angled about 4 ways. I hope I never lose it because they are hard/impossible to find.

Sidekick and Havalon here...

 

[16Bore]

as a side note though, a Leatherman with a Havalon type removable blade would be the cats ass....
