It's been a few decades since I bought my OG Leatherman multi-tool. Finally decided to take advantage of improved engineering/new generations.
This model is about 3/4 size of the old Leatherman, but designed to be much more comfortable to use. So far it is exactly what I needed. I appreciate the well designed belt pouch, too.
I work in theatre and on films and often can't bring a large tool bag on set. This tool covers 50-percent or more of my needs and is always with me - a huge plus.
The Powerlock is a winner!

By far my favorite of the many multitools

I've had this for almost 5 years and continually find it up to the challenges of backcountry Alaska. A wipedown and a blast of WD40 keep the stainless finish stainless, even in the moisture-laden September hunting season. The fact that the tools are replaceable and interchangeable is amazing. One of the best features, by far. I've added the 1/4" drive and wire strippers to my SOG and now have the tool the way I want it. If I could have one thing improved, it would be locking c clips for the tool screws to keep them secure and at a constant tension.

I think I got this roughly 10-12 years ago. Its been through a deployment with me and I've been using it ever since. I Immediately got rid of the tools covers and the only complaint I had about this went in the trash. I have used it so long the knife is only good for spreading butter. If I were to try and sell this as a new tool the poor guy at the counter would probably buy it. It looks like the day I've bought it and I've used it as a hammer. The gears still work, the needle nose are still mostly pointy, and the wire cutters still cut wire. I've had a lot of different multi tools being through the army and various manual labor jobs, but this is the only one that has stuck with me the whole time.

My first one was inherited from my father. I'd never heard of DOG by my brother was a lifer in the Army and couches for it. I used it roughly for years as I trained horses, rode the back trails of the Sierras, and ran a mobile RV repair business. It pulled rocks from horse hooves, repaired saddle rigging, fixed innumerable odds and ends, and then went to work with me fixing RVs until I left it in a customer's RV one late night. I was devastated when I realized what had happened, but I immediately ordered a replacement and had my name and number engraved. A few weeks later my customers who had been visiting from the other side of the country, mailed my dad's back to me. So then I had two. But as a final statement on how useful and nearly indestructible I have found these to be: my home burned to the ground just before Christmas. I lost everything. I have now ordered and received my 3rd Powerlock. I've never needed to order one due to a problem with the tool; I always need to order one when I don't have the tool. The thing is brilliant, handles abuse well, fits in the hand well, is adaptable, can be maintained and modified readily... It's just a great device.
