I've carried a Leatherman Wave for MANY years. As others have said, I would feel naked without it. On my belt 7 days a week.

I've always carried a small pocket knife....few years back it was used to cut a seat belt at an accident scene to remove the unconcious driver...truck erupted inflames about a minute later!

I have a Leatherman Micra on my truck keychain and either a Benchmade or Kershaw assisted folder clipped to my pocket.

Always got a Leatherman on me, feel like something is missing if I don't.
Times I can't I at least have a pocket knife.

This. I carry a knife, but I dislike all those half-azzed tools.

My favorite style was the small vice grip with the tools instead of the pliers. I got a little to carried away one day though and broke a jaw off of it. Can't remember who the manufacturer was though. Now it's just a generic razor blade knife.

Except for basic training, and Jury Duty, I've carried a folding knife man and boy since I was a Cub Scout in the first grade in '55. Till 9-11 that is.

I carry a Spiderco knock off the moment I put my pants on and have a Leatherman Surge in the center console.
It cannot do anything aa well as the right tool for the job can do, but it saves me a lot of walking because if I am going more than about 10 ft from the truck I can clip it on a belt in the summer or stow it in a jacket pocket once it cools down.

Its heavy. I have always heard that a roll of quarters in the fist can knock several teeth down a mans craw and that little thing is heavy so if I was ever confronted by multiple attackers they might need to make payments at the oral surgeon's office once I finished with them.

This is why I prefer the gerber over all the rest. The pliers come out the front on a slide with just a flick of the wrist. Often just pulling them out of the holster is enough. The pliers being the most used tool. I rarely use the knife blade and truthfully it's more of a scribe for me using it to scribe metal or other abuses I won't use my other blades for. The scissors are my next most used cutting all sorts of screening and light gauge metal.
Another thing I like is you can disassemble them by just popping a c-clip to knock out the pivot pin to swap in tools you might want.

The Leatherman is a nice one being tighter but requires flipping or twisting and often two hands.
