Should I get a Swiss Army knife or multi-tool like the Leatherman Wave?
I do not need for my profession. I am a man in my 20 years. I use for hiking / camping, mostly. You can also use it as a replacement to muddle through a comprehensive set of tools at times. (I Expat moving much, and can not carry a toolbox. I say "may" because it could move back to the U.S. soon and may have more tools.) Thanks!
Both. I am a firm believer that everyone should carry a pocket knife (which will continue to borrow mine)! that come in useful for all sorts of things and make life a bit smoother
Something like Victorinox Alox farmer should last forever, looks very well, and can be picked up fairly cheap. They are thin and light to carry in a pocket, and there are also some nice leather strap for them. They are also legal to carry almost everywhere (a concern if you move much and could not be aware of local laws). There is, however, do everything as a larger, heavier tool Leatherman style. If you're gonna go Leatherman, who had spent a little more and buy the title (the same tool set wave, but better quality materials). Victorinox also make a very good multi-tool that about the same size but lighter, the SwissTool Spirit. I am not alone in that build quality is slightly better than a Leatherman, but the design of loading and materials are more attractive … just another option to think about. I can find the Leatherman style tools are a little big / heavy for wear all day every day and maintain instead of a larger tool (a Victorinox SwissTool X, with the increase being Leatherman option) in a bag I accompanied almost everywhere (also have waterproof clothing, sunglasses, gloves, first aid kit and stuff in. .. things you might need further home, but most people rarely). I just left in the car every time you go anywhere, so I do not have to carry, but not too far if I need something from it.
