Leatherman WaveMulti-tool

$80.00, 4 inches
Good for: backpacking

The Leatherman Wave multi-tool has been a bestseller for more than a decade and was revamped in 2004 with larger knives, stronger pliers and all-locking blades. This is a great tool for your home and your outdoor adventures, with 17 features that include multiple pliers, multiple wire cutters, a regular and a serrated knife, saw, spring-action scissors, can and bottle opener, wood and metal file, large and small bit driver and a screw driver.

Cricket and Mantis Multi-tool Duo

Price TBD, 2 and 4 inches
Good for: hiking

Similar to the Pocket Monkey, the Mantis and Cricket don't look like a multi-tool. The tools which have more than 18 features between the two pieces, are small enough that you can easily clip them onto a keychain and never notice them.. Each has multiple functions like a screwdriver, nail puller, wire stripper, bottle openers, hex wrenches, scrapers and a pry bar. The Cricket is the smaller one at less than 2 inches in diameter, and the Mantis comes in at about 4 inches long.
