Leatherman and Milwaukee Offer Affordable Multi-Tools for Everyday Carry
Cory Gunther, a senior author and Newsletter Editor at Valnet, has written about multi-tools for How-To Geek. He recommends several affordable options for everyday carry (EDC) use.
A good multi-tool can be used for various tasks around the house, from opening boxes to replacing batteries. Leatherman is a well-known brand in this space, offering a range of models with different materials, finishes, and tool counts.
The Leatherman Bond multi-tool is an 8-in-1 device made of durable stainless steel, featuring 14 implements, including pliers, a knife, wire strippers, and screwdrivers. It's available on Amazon.
Milwaukee also offers a multi-function utility knife with a retractable standard blade, pry bar, bottle opener, and wire strippers, among other features. This tool is designed for on-the-job or at-home use and costs $17.
