having broken several leathermans I would never go back to them, the metals in the pliers are too hard in them and they just snap, the 25 year warranty isnt worth a thing when im in the shit and need a tool to perform leathermans are flash but victorinox and a pair of 5 inch knipex cobras are a lot stronger and better made
I think the main question is if how often do you use the pliers. In that aspect Leatherman is the better option. If you not use the pliers every similar tool is better in the victorinox. Even the warranty 25 years vs lifetime.
Yup, I don’t believe anyone comes across more plier related jobs than knife related ones. If you’re doing more plier jobs, you should probably have an actual tool kit with multiple types of pliers with you.

The regular Workchamp is much more practical in my opinion

Good point on the pliers and the warranty. Both are great options, but you can't beat lifetime warranty. 👍
The blade should always be you main tool of any multitool. No you are not overthinking. The blade should be more center.

I'd like to see you test either SwissTool. I've heard very good things about them and perhaps better than the Surge
This thing is ridiculous lol. This is a desk ornament like the Swiss Champ XL
It goes against the idea of a multi tool system. If you need this many tools just get a tool box
👍
That makes sense 👍
