## How to choose the best tactical multi-tool
A tactical multi-tool is not a gadget, it is a reliable partner in the field. Whether you work in a professional environment, go on an adventure or simply want to be prepared for anything that crosses your path. The multi-tool is often designed for one-handed operation, even with gloves on, and features additional locking mechanisms to allow safe and efficient work. It is built from durable materials such as stainless steel. Brands like Leatherman, SOG and Gerber provide tools that can withstand heavy-duty use. At Knivesandtools, you'll find a selection that will never let you down, no matter the conditions.

### Choose the right multi-tool for your mission
When choosing a tactical multi-tool, it's important to look at the functions you really need. Consider tools with bit holders, saws, pliers functions or emergency tools such as a firesteel or whistle. Some multi-tools are compact and lightweight for everyday use, while others are pocket-sized tool boxes. 

### Built for heavy-duty use
Tactical multi-tools from top brands are designed to last. They are made of high-quality materials, can take a beating and are intuitive to use. Smart designs give you quick access to the right tool, even under pressure. Whether you're on the move, find yourself in an emergency situation or just want to be prepared: a good multi-tool proves its value every day.

You can use the [Leatherman](kato://category/leathermantools), [Gerber](kato://category/gerbermulti), [Victorinox](kato://category/victorinoxswisstool) and [SOG](kato://category/sogmultitool) multi-tools for all sorts of tasks. They are ideal tools to always have around. However, how do you make sure you can enjoy your multi-tool as long as possible? How do you make sure it continues to run smoothly, and how do you prevent rust?

How do you maintain a multi-tool?

The [Leatherman Wave Plus](kato://product/LE6025) and [Gerber Center-Drive](kato://product/GE31-003173N) are two popular multi-tools. But what are the differences and similarities? What are the advantages of both tools? And why would you choose one over the other? We will explain.

## Gerber Center-Drive vs Leatherman Wave Plus

For both brands these are best-selling multi-tools. And not surprisingly so: both have qualities that make them stand out in their own way. To answer one of the most fundamental questions: is one of the tools better in terms of quality? No. When we look at the amount of returns and warranty cases, there is not one tool that stands out when compared to the number of tools sold. At best we can say that the Gerber Center-Drive isn't affected by rust as quickly because of the different finish on the surface. That is something that does occasionally occur with the Leatherman Wave Plus. Especially in coastal areas with their salty sea air, but that is something you can, of course, prevent with proper maintenance.

## Which tools do these multi-tools have?

A comparison between two multi-tools is not complete without an overview of the different tools. That is why we made a list of all tools.

_Here we would like to emphasize that in this case we used the basic version of the Center-Drive. There are also other models on the market with an additional bit set, or with other tools._

## One-handed opening pliers

Practical about the Gerber Center Drive is the fact that it has pliers you can easily open with one hand. By pressing a button on the side of the tool you can easily make the pliers appear from the handle. Great when you need one hand to hold onto a ladder, for instance. You can also easily use this mechanism to close the tool with one hand.

## Gerber Principle 30-001657


The [Gerber Principle](kato://product/GE30-001659) is an amazing fixed knife for bushcraft and survival purposes. The scandi-grind blade is razor-sharp. Just like the spine of the blade to make sure you can easily create sparks with a firesteel. Gerber spent a lot of time on the sheath. And you can tell! You can comfortably carry it in many different ways and it is simply a top-quality product. The Principle is a promising knife. Without a doubt it is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a fixed knife that can do it all!

The [Gerber Principle](kato://product/GE30-001659) is a few years old now, but I haven’t seen many people use them. They seem to me like a great companion blade option. So we thought, why not put it face to face with what would arguably be its most direct competitor… The tried and tested [ESEE Izula II](kato://product/EE-IZULA-II-B), in my opinion, one of the best companion blades on the market today. Both of these knives are USA made, come in at a very similar price range, and are basically the same size. If you’re choosing a companion blade to supplement your larger camp knife, which are you going for? Let’s take a closer look at these two tools and how they stack up against each other. Bear in mind that these comparisons are subjective, and completely open to debate. Let me know if you have a differing opinion! 

## Companion blades
Companion blades? For the sake of this article, let’s say that a companion blade is a knife that is supposed to work alongside a larger camp knife. Usually worn around the neck at camp, or perhaps on the side of your pack when on the move, the demands put on these tools in theory shouldn’t be so extreme as to expect it to baton, twist or torque in the same way that we might expect our main knife to perform. That is not to say that these knives can’t do those things. In fact I have put both through some pretty gruelling tasks, with great results. You can read my detailed article on my time with the [ESEE Izula here](kato://content/migrated_topic_587). So what are the parameters of comparison on these types of tools? I think it’s unfair to be putting them through “1 tool option” type tasks such as batonning, chopping, stress testing, because they’re simply not designed for it. What they are supposed to be, in my opinion, is compact and discreet, lightweight yet strong, comfortable enough to want to use it a lot, and convenient enough so you reach for it instead of your main knife for basic camp chores such as quick food prep, cutting cordage, opening food packaging or making some minor camp tools.

A [**budget survival knife**](kato://content/migrated_pageid_1052) is great for anyone who doesn't want to spend too much money. Considering the price you don't have to be too careful with these knives. As such they are perfect when you are spending a day in the woods or to use it as a back-up. However, just because it is a budget-knife doesn't mean that it isn't a top-quality product. A couple of brands in this list are Morakniv, Gerber, Condor and Cold Steel. These brands are known for their excellent price-quality ratio. But what are the best survival knives? To make the choice as simple as possible we made a list of the ten best budget survival knives.

So many people, so many desires. And, it seems, also so many [multi-tools](kato://category/multitoolsproducts). We have compared the most famous multi-tool brands. This is how you find the best multi-tool for your needs.

When you think of multi-tools, you often think of [Leatherman](kato://category/leathermantools). This brand has become synonymous with the concept of a multi-tool. However, this doesn’t mean that Leatherman is the only one out there creating multi-tools. In our range you will also find amazing multi-tools made by, for instance, [Victorinox](kato://category/victorinoxswisstool), [SOG](kato://category/sogmultitool) ,and [Gerber](kato://category/gerbermulti). Each with their own characteristics and specialties. We are, of course, not able to compare all 125 tools in this article. We can, however, try to broadly explain what you can expect from the various brands in order to make your choice easier.

What is the best multitool?

The market for survival tools is huge! Preparedness and self-reliance, terms that used to feel ridiculous, are taken a lot more seriously these days. This opens up a market and a potential to sell to an entirely new base of people. But an axe is simply an axe, quite literally one of the oldest tools known to man. And yet, companies are still coming up with new models, and new ways for us to chop our firewood and build our fences. The Gerber Bushcraft axe and hatchet models are an interesting hybrid, floating somewhere between the functionality and practicality of a traditional Fiskars style axe, something we’ve seen before from Gerber, but with the ‘tacticool’ aesthetic choices we’ve come to expect from their knives. What I wanted to know was whether this was a high quality axe with a cool paint job, or just a bells and whistles attempt to build a product no one asked for. So let’s take a closer look at these new models and see how they hold up to the task at hand!
