Re: Best multi-tool for robot/field use
I haven't limited my search to just Leatherman, but they seem to have the best selection of tools for robot/electronic/mechanical use. I think the Surge might be best, as it has the most tools. I've seen others recommend the Crunch and the Skeletool; while the Crunch does look useful, I'm not sure it's worth sacrificing other tools for locking pliers, though at the same time, I'm thinking "less is more". I'm also considering the Leatherman Piranha 2 or the Gerber Shard for my keychain. I like that the Piranha has wrenches, but its reviews are mixed. Anyone used a Swisscard or a Wallet Ninja? The Swisscard seems good, but it's plastic and I worry about it breaking in my wallet...the original Ninja seems unavailable, though with its wrenches I may not need the Piranha.
