Multitools & Pocket Multi-tools
A good multitool replaces a drawer of hand tools: needle-nose pliers, wire cutters, a locking blade, drivers, a file and a saw, folded into one piece of stainless steel. Look for locking implements and replaceable wire cutters.
What should a good multitool have?
Spring-loaded pliers, replaceable wire cutters, locking blades, a bit driver and a sheath. One-hand-opening outside blades are a bonus for everyday carry.
Are multitools legal to carry?
In most US states a multitool with a blade under 3" is legal to carry, but local laws vary. Multitools are not allowed in carry-on luggage.
How do I keep a multitool working smoothly?
Rinse off grit, dry it, and put a drop of light oil in the pivots every few months.
Buying guide
Buying hand tools that last
Good hand tools are about steel and fit. Chrome vanadium and chrome molybdenum steels hold their shape under load, and a precise fit on the fastener is what stops rounded bolts and slipping screwdrivers.
A multi-tool earns its place when it replaces the handful of tools you reach for most: pliers, a blade, screwdrivers and a bottle opener. Check that the blades lock, the pliers close cleanly and it opens with one hand if you plan to carry it every day.
Locking blades matter
On a multi-tool, blades and drivers that lock open are safer and more useful under pressure.
Six-point sockets
Six-point sockets grip the flats of a bolt and are far less likely to round it off than twelve-point ones.
Keep steel dry
A quick wipe and a light coat of oil after wet work keeps rust off pivots and jaws.
Common questions
What should a good multi-tool have?
Needle-nose pliers with wire cutters, a locking blade, flat and Phillips drivers and a solid pivot. Everything else is a bonus.
Are multi-tools allowed on planes?
Not in carry-on bags if they contain a blade in the US. Pack them in checked luggage.
How do I stop hand tools rusting?
Dry them after use, oil moving parts and store them off the floor in a closed box.
