![Gerber Gear MP400 Compact Sport Multi-Plier, Stainless [45500]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71caefWSOgL._AC_UL160_SR160,160_.jpg)
To say I've used a lot of multi-tools over the years is a vast understatement. I'm a IBEW Wireman, also a mechanic with 25+ years experience, my late father called me "the master of the mechanical stuff".
It doesn't matter if it's an auto electrical repair fix for a stranger in the parking lot of a Home Depot, fixing work electrical circuitry at a family get together, or just random mechanical or electrical repairs during my every day travels I NEED a multi tool on me at all times.
The Gerber MP600 is the one I keep going back to, it's not perfect, but it is a perfect balance of tools, weight, cost, availability. Other tools will perform SOME tasks better than the MP600 but my 20+ year experience with around 50 different multi-tools can attest that there is nothing on the market that can perform as well in ALL manner of repairs the same way that the MP600 does.
You won't regret the purchase, just buy one.
If you're on the fence about which one to buy just get the BASIC one, most of the specialty craft ones are just replacing useful tools with something that you already have in your bag that's dedicated for whatever specialty craft you're going to do (like going out shooting, fishing, etc.). You're going to end up with a useless flip out tool for 99% of the time you're carrying the thing. Just go with the BASIC because it's the best of all worlds. If you need a carbon scraper for when you're out shooting then buy a real one and throw it in your range bag.
And for the love of <insert diety of choice> don't buy the EOD version unless you are actually punching holes in C4 and crimping detonators...
