stanley multi tool---12 in 1, just as good as a leatherman?

While we haven't used the Stanley or the Gerber, we love our Leathermans. DH carries 2 at all times and uses them daily. Biggest selling point after functionality is that customer service and warranty. I like to support companies that stand behind their products.

I just checked: Leatherman's factory in is Oregon (ETA: At least product is assembled in the USA). Seems like the right one to support. Fiskars owns Gerber and I cannot find where any of the Gerber items are made in the USA.

There is a SOG available on woot.com today. Seems to have good reviews so I picked one up. Of course when they are gone they are gone (from woot), but I thought I'd post this. I carry a Leatherman Skeletool as my EDC and bought the bit set for it. I like it. Not familiar with the Stanley, but will check it out. One is none and two is one

SOG utility tool

The Victronox Swiss Tool and Victronox Spirit are multitools (like a leatherman only better IMHO). I will agree with you about swiss army knives--although the more basic ones are somewhat useful. When the start getting stupid thick then they become useless (with useless features).

The swiss tool paired with a Spyderco VG-10 (made in Seki City Japan) is a hella combination.
