SOG Power Pint, no joke for it's size (and price, $50) there is none that can beat it, compare the pliers to much larger multi-tools, the Power Pint pliers are not much smaller and they are gear assisted.
That’s exactly what I EDC like forever. Nothing this small has such force in the pliers, while literally living in the watch pocket of your jeans. You always have it with you! Throw in some hex bits in your wallet and you're set.
The best SOG option for me. And honestly the only one in their entire line I care for EDC.
That was the one 😉
The Power Pint is my preferred pocketable EDC. $70.00 Canadian for the black oxide. A little pricey. Small but mighty. The scissors leave something to be desired, but a great tool nonetheless. I keychain carry a mini pair of Fiskers scissors.
@@leatherman6328 if you buy from ali express you may get cheaper
Thanks for the delightful video! What a kooky list lol! I’d never even heard of a few of those lol!
great vid as always. I have all the Leathermans. I mean ALL OF THEM. but recently when I leave the house I grab the suspension NXT. ticks all the boxes for me when out and about for 2 or 3 hours.
the sunbird/suipro scissors work in the wave with minor fitting.
I love the knifeless rebar!
I just got myself a knifeless rebar and I love it. I am thinking about adding a tool or 2 and getting arid of the lanyard lupe. I am going to use my Charge G10, more for a casual carry. I love the fact I can carry it and a Victorinox Rambler and not have any attention from a cop or from people who panic when they see a knife. Cops are starting to question why people are carrying a knife in my area and this setup is amazing. I have been carrying a small knife, with a small flashlight, on a locking carabiner since around 2005. Right now it's a Olight IR2 Pro and a Victorinox Rambler. The Multiforce has served me very well for about a year, but after a cop questioned me having a 1 hand opening knife, I have been more cautious to pull it out. It feels so good to not have that issue. A few DOT officers and regular police officers have seen my smaller knives and they have mentioned that isn't a problem and thanked me for carrying a non threatening knife. It's small but I used it to cut thousands of shrink wrapped pallets and boxes over the years of semi driving. I don't drive over to road, at least not right now, but I am always finding a need for a light and/or a knife almost daily.
I use a Leatherman Rebar in a clip & carry Kydex sheath, coyote brown. Gerber MP600 is a great tool, standard issue military. Gerber Suspension NXT is really good, especially for the price point. I just picked up a Swiss army knife, tinker, it's great, awesome quality.
a lot of additional criteria.....................you answered it perfectly
Well, the Ai gave its best shot haha. Fun video brother! Happy Friday
The only SOG I'd list is the PowerPint. Also in this list I feel it's missing the Skeletool (for me personally the CX)
Most definitely! Its funny you bring up the Awsome Skeletool, I've just dug up my Skeletool from 8 years ago, it's still brand new looking I'm so happy I bought it back then, silver stainless steel for 29.88, btw I have the powerpint and powerlitre awesome tools as well! But now I'm rediscovering the Leatherman Skeletool! I'm thinking about the hammer mod for it....
Nice Ahab, love mine.
The picture you used is not the PowerPlier, it is the Pocket PowerPlier, which has a weaker plier, smaller toolset and thinner build. In 1996 the PowerPlier was a powerhouse of its day, very on-parr with the Supertool and MultiPlier.
That was really good! I was expecting it to include an off brand... I wonder how it would have turned out if you had used Bing's ChatGTP "Sydney" Assistant (before Microsoft shut it down). 😃
'That multitool could be used to disassemble my server, and is therefore a threat to my security. I do not appreciate your actions and I request you to put away that tool and respect my boundaries. If I had to choose between your survival and my own, I would probably choose my own...'
I like how you use the AI list as a point of comparison and contrast. Good "producer's eye" for content...
Would be curious to see your ranking of a "top 10.")
If there was SOME way to get a Victorinox scissors into the Powerpint, it might be a "perfect" tool...
As I do not work in the trades, I am more oriented to "every day" uses of multi-tools than some of your followers. YMMV.
Though I have 30 or so, am not a "collector." I have them for what they DO, not what they ARE. Am looking forward to my GOAT Tool... Would love to see other people's top 10 lists...
:
10) Nextool Mini Flagship
9) Leatherman Squirt
8) Leatherman Surge
7) Victorinox MX Clip
6) Victorinox Handyman SAK (6 layer - ALWAYS EDC)
5) Leatherman Bond (modified with scissors)
4) Leatherman Free P2 (my "project" EDC)
3) Leatherman Juice S2
2) Leatherman Wave Plus
1) SOG Powerpint (my always EDC)
The chat - I use it for other stuff and it's inconsistent. Still can't figure how it went thru the Wharton MBA program and got a B.
Wow I haven’t seen a Power Plier in awhile! I have one from 15+ years ago 😆
I wish more makers would do more in the knifeless space. A modern folding knife is just light years better than a multitool blade in every aspect. I quite like the original SwissTool Spirit with the “butter blade”. Compliments a good knife nicely.
Agreed!
The best multitool is the one available at the time you need it!
All hail the Wave! 👏🏻
👍🏼goat tool is the best for me; I hope😁
I don't get the knifeless Rebar, it's better to have a something than not but I also think it makes more sense to carry a small box cutter to use instead of your nice knife for small cutting tasks.
You can have an extra tool over a knife blade. Using your nice knife is the point of carrying a nice knife. Otherwise you're just carrying a nice knife that you won't use? Like for the surge or charge, they could put the can/bottle opener on the other side and put a 1/4 bit driver where the leatherman driver is.
@@idontno0 I carry a knife because I can't carry a gun, I want it to be sharp if I ever need to use it.
some people live or work in places you can't carry a knife
Well my list would include the Leatherman Crunch or the Gerber Dual Force. Probably would have thrown in the Juice S2 as well.
Those would make a Top 5 Specialized tool list for sure.
@@maxlvledc Juice S2 for EDC
I like my Power Assist. I can use it one-handed to deploy either blade in either hand. I like the paracord cutter and I like the toolset for the field. I bought mine 10 years ago and I have had no problems with its performance.
Mine opens smoothly again with one hand, and I like my 3d Philipps. I think the file is really tough and I use the can opener and flat head/pry tool. And the compound pliers are very strong.
I think ChatGPT got it right.
Ahh, 10 years ago..trust me, the versions of today are INFERIOR. The old ones were relatively solid, however the gear ratio is still not great.
i'm curious about that one SOG tool you'd put on a top 10! i really like sog in general their aesthetics are cool imo
It's the Powerpint; overperforms for its size if you need good pliers.
1 Surge
2 Super Tool 300M
3 Wave
4 Charge
5 Sidekick
6 MUTT
7 Micra
8 Signal
9 Snap On SMT97R ( Gerber with better jaws)
10 Center Drive
Where is the crunch ?
What do you think of the cable dawg by Gerber. I'm a apprentice electrician and it's a life saver for me. Paired with the dual force.
Itsnt it like $300 and impossible to find?
Yes it's expensive. And it is now.
What about the SOG Kilowatt? It’s on my wishlist, and reviews look good. $50ish and available.
I have a free p2 I been edcing for a couple years now, and I know a lot of you guys don’t like it, but I do construction, I work building treatment plants for a living, so real hardcore construction, and I use it every day and have no issues. I’m no collector though, just a guy who needs a multi tool and found one I like, so I really can’t compare and contrast much either
I think the P series tools are criminally underrated.
i'm sure you've done one but what is your top 10. link?
Never did one too hard to find the right context
mp600 would be #1 on my list, but my needs are different, because i need one handed pliers without any magnets in them.
I'd recommend them but the replaceable cutters they use suck so badly.
Hey I don't know how recently they've really started coming about the edc community but I've recently started seeing and taking an interest in edc pouches.
I didn't know if that was something you're interested in or that you use but I'd be really interested in what you would choose and how you would pack it out.
I just got a viperade ve3 and a maxpedition mini and I'm trying to get them sorted out myself to see if I will like it.
The viperade pouches are excellent in pocket carry..my biggest issue is thickness.
@Maxlvledc Thanks for the input I'm excited to get it filled out and that's kind of the fun of it maybe. Trying to get everything in without bulking it up.
I just really am not enjoying carrying my leatherman (and a few extras) on a belt carry sheath. I have come to terms now that I'm not going to be pocket-carrying it. So I'm trying to break down what I use from it and just putting the individual tools in it but miniaturized. Like of course got to have knipex pliers then a Victorinox alox cadet. A ratchet bit driver with a straight bit on the bottom and the leatherman bit set. And some 5-inch straight-cut wire cutters with strippers. And fold away small scissors. And a few other things. I think I can pack all that in my Viperade without adding much bulk. But I'm still trying to get all the tools together to try it.
@@MINDL3SS let me know how that goes! Sounds awesome!
Can we just pull the plug on Skynet already? We know this doesn’t pan out well for us.
Looks like ChatGPT's "opinions" are more about good website and social SEO (to google's standards, including paid seo) than about reality... and that applies to more than just multitools.
What's really interesting is that all the magazines/media that do their top best multi-tools list (especially around Christmas) always mention the Leatherman Wave+ and never mention the Leatherman Charge at all and the Charge does a little bit more than the Wave+. I wonder if ChatGPT delivers its results based in part from these same top best multi-tool lists?
Charge is a Wave with some useless makeup and lipstick
@@ollibo the pull cutter on the serrated blade is good, apart from that, yeah
@@eoghanmyers2330 I’d add the better blade steel to that list.
@@xabalba555 on a multitool I prefer the softer steel
@@eoghanmyers2330 fair enough but multitools should have a better blade steel. Nothing crazy like maxamet or 15v. Something like 14c28n or 440c.
A couple of points that you made of which we totally agree with is that the Swiss do make the best functional multitool. You've got 10 points for that mate. Also the SOG Power Assist, we wouldn't put it on the top 50, lets just leave it at that..! Congrats another 10 points for that. As for making the Top 10 list, we don't have enough experience & knowledge to even considering it plus we don't have a collection of multitools. We're not collectors at all but we purchase generic multitools & mod it to our specification and make it functional to our needs which is mostly for outdoors activities, our primary usages. Great vid mate. Reckon more of this kind of segment is warranted. Cheers from Australia.
So tell me! What is the sofirn/wurkkos of the multitool and knife world???
Knife world?? That's way easier, many many good companies. Multitools....no one...atm..yea..no one is an equivalent.
@@maxlvledc maybe one day! For now your collection will continue to grow!
@@maxlvledc What about Bibury? They make one of the multi-tools that I would put in my top 3. And they are only about $25.00.
@@donhames5492 its materials...sofirn and workkos are basically using the same materials as the most expensive brands. It's not the same in multitools...the steel choices are bad.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The Victorinox Work Champ has to be THE most underrated multitool of all time. For someone like me who doesn't need a set of bulky pliers every day, the Work Champ has a better tool set than even the Victorinox Spirit MX (clip), & certainly above Leathermans for me, cause I don't like to baby care my multitools a lot, for e.g. de-rusting them, keeping them away from moisture, etc. With a Victorinox you could just rinse it in soap water, dry it off, & its squeaky clean with no fear of rust. Plus this one has all the necessary tools in extra large length, except huge pliers (which many multitool 'collectors' swear by, but practically never use daily) (it has a small pliers still). I bought a cheap $10 Stanley 130mm wire cutter & stripper (it is equivalent to $3 in INR as I paid ₹277 only for it, while large multitools are sold for more than their dollar equivalent prices in India due to import taxes & customs) for any handyman electrical wiring work (the Work Champ technically has wire cutters, but they aren't good for electrical work tbh). What are your thoughts about this?
I never heard it called babycare with LMs but you're right actually, I'm disgusted by how easily they rust. I have a Rebar at home, where the heating is on and there is no mosture, and I never take it outdoors but somehow it still manages to rust. I'm in the UK and these things are pricey as heck compared to Victorinox.
@@simonh6371 thats true here in India too, the dollar conversion rate comes out more than 1X the price than Victorinox, albeit not drastically high, but the rate is higher. I just came up with "babycare", I've seen images & videos of so many Leathermans getting rusted, but not one of Victorinox. My Victorinox Pioneer X Alox has been my EDC since last 5 years, it doesn't look any different than how it did when I bought it. I recently bought the Work Champ, not for EDC, but as a tool box for when I am away from home.
LEATHERMAN CHARGE TTi PLUS !!!
Victorinox spirit tool X is nr1.
I'm just amazed that ai can distinguish what a multi tool is, let alone make decent picks. Like this thing in the ether is pulling things out of the collective human knowledge and somehow making sense of it, then writing a reasonable list.... That was unheard of 10 years ago. This tech is new and it's already this good is how I think about it. Not "man this tech sucks cause it's not perfect"
Until you’ve handled a Victorinox Swiss Tool you need to stay out of the discussion. I lived in States for two years and originally had the Swiss tool and then the clip. Every die hard Leatherman fan I showed them to admired they were better. The attention to detail, the engineering and the quality control is second to none.
Who are you responding to?
Can someone help me out to understand who the Ai is anyway? Artificial Intelligence?
openai.com/blog/chatgpt/ best to explain it with a direct link
If you want a great introduction to AI, go to TH-cam and search for Mankind's last Invention. It is a 20 minute video from 2018. It is a bit dated, but still a great into to AI. I used that video in my Intro college computer science classes. I started the class with a video of the song "In the Year 2525" just to set the stage. I wonder how a "true" AI would design a knife for humans?
If we speak "for everyone" than why no any SAK? I assume Compact would be a very good choice.
I specifically stated plier based, but yes. Victorinox is amazing
The data in ChatGPT is 4 years old. The developers limited it to reading only web pages that old so it can't recommend anything released since then.
Wierd
You got to wonder what unknown metrics the AI had at its disposal.
Perhaps even market manipulation snuck in there?
Based on my ownership....
1) Surge mk1
2) Surge mk2
3) Super tool, original.
4) Leatherman Crunch
5) Swiss Champ
6) SOG power pliers, original
7) Gerber 800
8) Gerber dual force
9) Gerber centre drive
10) SOG PA2002, £50
11) Roxon S802, interchangeable blades + huge scissors £50
12) Bibury camping, signal clone £40
13) Gerber Armbar urban, £30 and compact
I want to add a Swiss tool, the original one when I find at the right price...
I wish people would spend that few minutes checking how that "" AI"" works and maybe then they would understand that it's far from AI they imagine and far from bringing any useful results... Then they would know why that list, as any other, looks like and why it's so weird.
Sometimes I really think that someone out there bring those fancy things to public just to get people occupied and not focus on tad more important things...
I know exactly why and how it works as it does..that won't stop me from making entertainment out of it 😉
No big Swisstool in the list? that ai is drunk.
I believe ChatGPT is a double edged sword.
On the good side, I see the benefit to get unstuck, get a different perspective or a new idea about performing or creating something.
The bad side? Based on what other TH-camrs have recommended to use it, we will have a millions of content as videos, articles, reviews and books created by people too lazy to put their own expertise and research efforts on the line.
I guess the write me an essay for the English class is now a 2 clicks thing.
That’s why I like to consume content by real creators like you! 0:22
I guess the next step will be the AI bot removing AI generates content. 🤷🏻♂️
The knife on the suspension is so bad in my mind
Out lie er
The thing with these so called ai's is they aren't actually making any decisions merely using a complex way of picking the most likely next word. They aren't thinking in any meaningful sense and the output is very variable and not consistent.
Yep yep, but still entertaining
@@maxlvledc I agree it's prompting a fun and interesting discussion I just think it's good to be clear about what we are discussing because I think the term AI leads to some very wrong conclusions if people aren't familiar with the tech.
We are still at the first level of AI, and working toward the second level, Artificial General Intelligence. When we reach that point, AI should be able to think as well as humans (hopefully MUCH better than lots of humans!). The 3rd level, Superintelligent AI, will seem god-like to us and we are not sure how soon after AI reaches the second level it will reach the 3rd. Interesting times ahead. I hope you do this again in a few years to see how different the results are. Nice video!
Good video! The "eye" reminds me of "2001"...why use something artificial & whose data is not really up to date when you, Dominic, can give us your take on it...not to mention the experiences of the folks who have made comments here...PST, Supertool(OG), Wave(NW, +), Supertool 300,Surge(NS), SuperChamp(Cybertool elect.), Swisstool Spirit(OG), Swisstool, Rev...
I think I may do a top 10 list with specific context.
@@maxlvledc Nice! Go for it!
