In use though, that shape provides a more ergonomic grip when operating either fold-out tools or pliers - and makes the Spirit X a notable standby. It also has a unique handle shape that appears almost bent. The Spirit X has the other mandatory tools: a can opener, bottle opener, a Phillips head and two flathead screwdrivers, but it also comes with some extras, like a multifunctional reamer and a crate opener. Its scissors are spring-loaded, but they’re small (this is the case for many multi-tools, and it’s OK because big cutting jobs will probably call for a full-sized pair anyway).

Its needle-nose pliers aren’t spring-loaded, but they are functionally long, with different-sized teeth and built-in wire cutters. It has a long, frame-lock plain-edge knife as well as separate saws for wood and metal. In many ways, the Spirit X is a predictable multi-tool, but that’s precisely why it succeeds. Victorinox’s famous Swiss Army knives are multi-tools in their own right, so it’s not a surprise that the company can pull off a full-sized butterfly-style tool too. No more annoying nail nicks and no more opening the pliers just to get to the bottle opener.

The upgrade is twofold: you can now flip open the pliers, balisong style, with one hand, and every smaller implement is also positioned for one-handed use with small nubs that you roll your thumb over to deploy.

But there’s a fundamental difference in that it, and every other tool in the broader Free collection, has an innovative magnetic construction that makes using those tools much more manageable. Like the Wave, the Free P2 features all the tools one might imagine should be present in a multi-tool: pliers, scissors, a bottle and can opener, wire cutters, a screwdriver, a ruler, a file. When you think “Leatherman,” you likely conjure up the Wave, a long-time best-seller among the company’s 50-plus tool arsenal and a favorite of ours until the recent release of the Free P2. Leatherman, like Kleenex and Band-Aid, is one of those brand names that has come to stand for the category of products it produces: multi-tools.

Material: 420 high-carbon stainless steel.

Generally speaking, if a tool is present, it should be useful. All tools should lock, and scissors and pliers should, ideally, be spring-loaded. A multi-tool’s main features, such as pliers and knives, should be robust enough for use in almost any situation. There are, however, some qualities that we look for in deciding which of these tools is best. Others will achieve optimum practicality with just a bottle opener and a small knife. Those who want the most function possible should opt for a full-size tool. Today, there are so many types of multi-tools available that you can easily find an option with a toolset to serve the needs and tasks that you encounter most often. The answer to this question is entirely subjective. Instead, they tend to serve as keychains with some additional functionality supplied by a bottle opener. These tools are highly minimal and aren’t designed to replace anything else you might carry. Our third category is keychain multi-tools. These tools are diminutive enough to go unnoticed in the fifth pocket of your jeans. The highly specialized tools have typically been stripped away to leave only small versions of the essentials.

The second, mini multi-tools, refers to pared-down and more portable versions. This is a toolbox-worthy tool that often comes with a leather holster that can attach to a belt. These are full-featured tools designed for any task. The first, full-size multi-tools, is like the example above. In this guide, we’ve broken the category down into three groupings.

Practically speaking, any tool with multiple functions is a multi-tool. That image is the classic multi-tool, but the category has grown to be more general and all-encompassing. (It may even have the name Leatherman etched into its side, but that brand is by no means the only multi-tool maker to hold in high regard.)

A multi-tool is a multi-tool… right? A picture drawn in the mind’s eye likely renders a chrome-silver gadget with twin handles that fold open to reveal pliers, plus a variety of cutters, drivers and openers that fold out of either side.
