He had a long walk up a hill that was covered in snow (think 0.75 meters deep while wearing snow shoes) and to make a long story short, my leatherman fell out of its case when I fell into the snow.

There was no way to find it, so I just conceded defeat and continued on my way. This leatherman was probably about 40 years old as my dad gave it to my brother who gave it to me; I think it is time for a new multi tool. I am considering leatherman again as they are amazing but wanted to see if anyone has any other suggestions for a good multi tool/pocked tool I can buy first. Thanks in advance.


So I decided to get a couple mutli-tools as I realized that only having one can be a recipe for disaster. I went and got a Leatherman Skeletool and also some small multitools that I found in my local outdoors man shop. Thanks for the advice, made me think about what I really want.
