Best Military Multi Tool in 2023

SOG Powerlock S60N-CP Multitool

The SOG Powerlock S60N-CP Multitool is made from 420 stainless steel and is made to  last and it also comes with a lifetime warranty, but only if you treat it right, so be sure to do so.

It features 18 different tools including the most common you’d expect, a sharp blade and bottle opener for example. What makes this multitool stand out is its patented compound leverage. They have added gears to give the pliers a bit more strength, well actually a lot more which is very handy if you’re a tradesman.

The tool has been gear towards electrical work and includes a wire stripper, wire crimper, and wire cutter. So if you do work with wiring often, this is a multitool to consider.

When using the multitool you’ll notice that all the tools open and close very smoothly and lock into place sop they don’t wobble around while you’re trying to fix something. This is nothing more annoying than a screwdriver that flops around or unsafe as a blade that could close at any moment.

The only downsides are that the saw seems a bit flimsy to some and the cover isn’t the best. Otherwise, it is well priced and made to a high quality that you can rely on. It’s available in two finishes, steel and black oxide, although the balckmoxide coating does tend to come off, so be aware of that.

Gerber Suspension-NXT Multi-Tool

If you’re into multitools then you would have heard of Gerber and the Suspension-NXT Multi-Tool is their entry-level product which comes in at an astonishing price. They have designed it as a smaller multitool for the everyday carry user that clips conveniently to your pocket or trouser waist.

The multitool is made of stainless steel, is backed by Gerber’s lifetime warranty, and features 15 tools. All tools lock into place and some of the most useful include a wire stripper, medium flathead driver, awl, file, and ruler which are things most may need every day. The pliers are made with spring-loaded jaws which are designed to reduce fatigue while using them.

The Suspension-NXT Multi-Tool is not built to the same high quality as other Gerber tools and this is reflected in the price and together with the tension slowly wearing down is the only negative about this product.

Overall it’s a light, well-priced multitool that’s very handy and I’d recommend it as one to have around the house for those DIY emergencies or if you want one but want to use it too often.

LEATHERMAN Wingman Multitool

Introducing Leatherman and their Wigman Multitool that they even label as one of their best.  It’s a great outdoors tool as well as being suited for odd jobs around the house or to have as a workman’s aid, ready for any quick fix. It’s light, compact, and will stay in your pocket thanks to the handy removable pocket clip.

This guy is made of stainless steel and features 14 tools including a knife, pliers, screwdrivers, wire cutters, a wire stripper, scissors, a package opener, a bottle opener and can openers, a file, and a ruler.

All the tools on the Wingman can be opened with only one hand which keeps your other hand free while you’re working. No need to drop a screw, open up the screwdriver and start again, those days are gone with this multitool.

Unfortunately, only the knife and scissors lock into place which can make using the other tools a bit cumbersome and the ruler has been labeled as useless but some users.

Overall it’s a top-quality tool that’s light, easy to use, will last, and pretty good value.

Gerber MP600 Multi-Plier

The Gerber MP600 Multi-Plier while being a multitool was made to address one key part of the marketplace, the ‘no knife’ work policy or to travel on planes with. You can take this multitool anywhere because this is no blade included and for those of you who work airside or in places with ‘no knife’ policies, this is the perfect one for you.

The MP600 is made from stainless steel with a sexy black oxide finish that makes it look like it means business. It features 13 tools including a needlenose plier, 3 flat drivers, Phillips driver, file, replaceable RemGrit saw, replaceable cutters, can and bottle opener, scissors, and a ruler.

It’s not missing much, is it? My favorite thing about the MP600 is that you can open the pliers with a simple flick of the wrist, just one flick and out they shoot, how cool is that?

This multitool is light, easy to use, of excellent quality, value and it comes with a lifetime guarantee. I would buy it instantly if I had to work in a ‘no knife’ kind of place

LEATHERMAN OHT

The Leatherman OHT was Leatherman’s first 100% one-hand opening multitool and it’s got some specialized tools for anyone carrying firearms or needing to use oxygen tanks, like a diver maybe.

The OHT is made from stainless steel and features a lot of useful tools each of whiches location has been imprinted on the handle to make them quick and easy to find.

How handy is that? The OHT features 16 tools of which there are; 3 knives, pliers, screwdrivers, wire cutters, a strap cutter, a cleaning rod/brush adaptor for firearms, an oxygen tank wrench, and more.

All the tools lock safely into place once fully opened so you can use them with confidence and without any hassle.

This is one of Leatherman’s best tools and if you’re into hunting, work in the military or use oxygen tanks as part of life-saving, the OHT has the exact tools you need waiting to sit on your belt. It’s made with great quality and thought, comes with a 25-year warranty but it is a little more expensive than your average multitool.

Victorinox SwissTool CS Plus

Where would the world be without the Victorinox Swiss Army Knife? Well probably in the same place but you’d have a lot of bored little boys who never got their first multitool when they were far too young. But let’s forget the wee Swiss Army knife Mum carries on her car keys, to only use the corkscrew now and then, and let’s look at the Victorinox SwissTool CS Plus.

This is the one and only Victorinox multitool in the lineup and in true Swiss style, they haven’t missed a trick. The CS Plus features 37 different functions to create a walking toolbox that sits on your waist ready to deal with anything that may come along. I’m not going to list them all, not even the carbon scraper!. Just check out the tool list on amazon, but trust me it has everything.

Every part of this is made from high-quality stainless steel, every tool locks into place and can be accessed from the outside of the handle, so there is no need to open it up to get to the tools.

The CS Plus is made for every occasion, is heavy duty and will last a lifetime, maybe even without the lifetime warranty. It is at the top end of the multitool price spectrum but well worth it.

LEATHERMAN Wave Plus Multi tool

The Leatherman Wave is a best-seller amongst Leatherman’s multitools and is recommended by many worldwide. They market it as ‘ready for anything’ and it pretty much is.

Again, as will all Leatherman’s it comes with a 25-year warranty and is made from quality stainless steel. The Wave Plus is an upgrade of the old wave which now includes premium replaceable wire cutters as well as 17 other tools including; pliers, wire stripper, knives, saw, spring-action scissors, ruler, can & bottle openers, files, and screwdrivers.

Every tool locks into place so you can use them safely with confidence, there will be no play in that handle. It’s also been designed for one-hand opening so you can still use your other hand while working away.

it’s an excellent everyday multitool that will last a long time. It’s priced quite high in the Leatherman range but that is a reflection of the quality.

Bastex Multitool

The Bastex Multitool is by far the cheap and cheerful option of the bunch and comes in at a record-breaking 15 dollars but still features some stainless steel and a limited lifetime replacement warranty, how do they do it? if you want a multitool around the house you won’t use very often, this may be just what you’re looking for.

It features 14 tools which are pretty average but considering the price actually pretty good for what you might pay. It’s rugged, durable, will last, all the tools lock. It has everything you’d expect from a normal multitool and the only downsides I can find are that the knife isn’t sharp and the Philipps screwdriver is too small.

LEATHERMAN - Charge Plus TTi Titanium Multitool

The idea behind Leatgherman’s Charge Plus TTi was to put all of Leatherman’s most useful tools and requested features into one multitool with premium materials, hence the titanium and the higher price point. The titanium handles give extra strength to the tool while the super-sharp S30V steel knife blade is corrosion-resistant (not sure why they aren’t all corrosion-resistant being stainless steel).

The premium stainless steel Charge Plus TTI comes with 19 tools all of which lock into place and can be opened with one hand. There’s nothing particularly special about the range of tools in this one, but they are all very useful and very well made. It does have a replaceable pocket clip and quick-release lanyard ring which are useful features if dropping your tool from up high on construction or overboard are a worry.

The Charge Plus TTIn is a great tool but an unnecessary expense as a Leather 50% cheaper will do the exact same job.

LEATHERMAN Sidekick Pocket Size Multitool

The Sidekick has been made to be light, fit in your pocket, and be useful in everyday life, just like the Gerber Suspension NXT. It has all the standard features you might expect from a multitool while still upholding Leatherman’s stamp of quality and 25-year guarantee.

The Sidekick is made from stainless steel and features 14 tools including knives, pliers, screwdrivers, wire cutters, bottle opener and can openers, a file, a saw, and a ruler. Every tool locks into place and can be accessed using one hand so your other hand can be busy working. One of the best features is the belt clip that lets you slip in for easy access.

If you’re looking for a small generic tool with a great price and quality, this is one to go for.
