Recommend me a multitool

[gsxr600]

Hey all,

XMas shopping is coming up, and I decided to give a paramedic/firefighter sibling a nice multitool. Budget is under 100$. They are not knife-people naturally but I think it would make a good practical gift- any EMS who think otherwise, please let me know/alternative gifts. the multitool would not necessarily just for on-the-job, though.

What's a high-value piece with a nice sheath (it will be belt-carried)? There are too many options, some highly-specialized, and I'm just looking for something close to a nice jack-of-all trades as possible. Needs to have- pliers (obviously), knife, philips/ flat head, bottle opener, at the very least.

It's not possible to go shopping with the person and have them pick it out.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

I do recommend Leatherman in these type of tools.

I've owned many multi tools.
I like Gerber much more than Leatherman.

Over the years I have become very used to the utility of sprung jaws on a multitool, I carried the Gerber suspension for years but now carry the Leatherman Wingman.
I have lost count the number of times it's been put to good use.
Nice gesture on your part. I am sure he will love whatever you get him.

I have a Leatherman Micra on my keychain which gets the most use. A Gerber Suspension is in my carry pack which is a little more user friendly and robust at the pivot points.

I carry a Gerber that my son gifted to me many years ago and it's been through the wringer, and still in better shape than I.

I cannot speak for new models and have no idea the model of mine.

I would think any of the top two, three manufacturers will be good selections.

Thanks for the post. Yup, it looks like that's what I'll do. I thought maybe there was a "Glock 17" or "Benchmade Griptillian" of multi-tools that I was having a hard time picking out, but I guess any of the popular models will do. I think my sister will enjoy whatever I gift her

I could never support leatherman and their anti-2nd amendment stance.

Gerber MP600

I carried a Gerber during my time in the Marines, took a beating and always worked. Locking blades are a must and one handed opening was a plus too.
