Best Multitools in 2020

When looking at the best multitools, you really can't go wrong with a Leatherman. The wingman has 14 different tools, with the pliers being the main selling point. It's surprising how good that small set of pliers is, and how often I use mine for assorted chores around the house. It's also incredibly easy to open one-handed, which is very helpful in a lot of emergencies.

You can't talk multitools without talking about the Swiss Army Knife. While I don't think it is particularly useful for DIY jobs, it is fantastic to have with you out at the campsites. From can openers to a tiny pair of scissors, the swiss army knife has everything you need to survive a night in the wilderness.

Sometimes, the best tool is the one you have with you. To that end, the Wallet Ninja is a fantastic multitool for on the spot jobs you might need to do. It has multiple different screwdrivers and hex wrench sizes as well a slot to turn it into a phone stand. It even had a can and bottle opener as well, so it works great when you are at a cookout with friends.

Like the Leatherman, the Gerber multitool is excellent for those who do a lot of DIY as it has the right tools for on-the-go fixing. A good pair of pliers and multiple different screwdrivers make the bulk of the usefulness, but the locks on the knife and saw had an extra layer of strength.

This multitool has a particular set of tools focused on outdoor living. The Rovertac has some small tools that spin-out from the bottom — screwdrivers, bottle openers, and the like — but the big selling point is the small hatchet and hammer that make up the bulk of the multitool. These bigger tools are worth their weight in gold when you are out in the brush.
