It’s the only multi-tool here that has a saw blade. This one is a have straight edge/half serrated edge combo blade deployed with a thumb cutout and locked with a liner lock. The Leatherman MUT is more the usual blade shape and style. It’s deployed by a thumb stud and locks with a liner lock. It’s a straight edge with a drop point and the first multi-tool knife I can remember seeing with a swedge. If you’re also a fan of carry knives like I am, you’ll be familiar with this blade as it looks like what you might find on a dedicated folding knife. The Multitasker has the biggest blade at 3 inches (7.5 cms).
These three have all taken a different approach to cutting duties. The Multitasker is the only pliers that don’t have a nut/bolt gripper section.Įqual in importance with the pliers is the knife. The Gerber is the only pliers that are spring loaded. I’ve tried both soft and hard and managed to cut both.
The Gerber doesn’t have any sections and doesn’t specify what type of wire they can deal with. The Leatherman and Multitasker have replaceable wire cutter blades, however, and they have hard wire and stranded/soft wire sections on the cutting blade. They are all needle nose style pliers and they all have wire cutter and wire stripper functions. Let’s first look at what all these pliers have in common and then deal with the different features. These three are all plier based multi-tools. That’s three choices – pocket clip, sheath, and carabiner. Its the only multi-tool here to have the option of hooking it to something with its carabiner. The Leatherman MUT wins the carry options contest. The Multitasker doesn’t have a sheath and they don’t sell one so you’ll have to make do with another carry option or buy an aftermarket sheath. If you’re a sheath MacGyver, the Leatherman and Gerber come with a MOLLE compatible nylon sheath with a pocket to carry a hex bit kit. The Gerber doesn’t and doesn’t have the option to attach one. If you like to clip your multi-tool to your pocket or belt, the Leatherman and the Multitasker come with a pocket clip. So the Leatherman is both heavy and long for carrying. When it comes to closed length, the Leatherman MUT is the longest of this group by more than half an inch – 5 inches (12.7 cms) against the Gerber at 4.3 inches (10.9 cms) and the Multitasker just slightly shorter at 4.2 inches (10.7 cms). So if you’re a civilian who just wanted to use these as your EDC, it will be quite a commitment. Leatherman’s own Surge is widely thought of as the heaviest multi-tool and that’s only about 1 ounce heavier than these two. The Leatherman MUT isn’t much lighter at 11.2 oz (317 gms) with the Gerber MP1-AR the lightest by a good margin at 7.6 oz (237 gms).īoth the Multitasker and the MUT are no lightweight multi-tools, in fact, they are some of the heaviest on the market.

Tipping the scales at 11.5 oz (367 gms), the Multitasker Series 3 wins the heaviest title in this comparison but not by a lot. Carry-ability Multitasker Series 3 Pocket Clip
Just because they are big brands doesn’t necessarily mean they are the best though so let’s see if Multitasker and their Series 3 can give them a run for their money.
Two of them are from the big multi-tool brands – Leatherman and their MUT and Gerber with their MP1-AR. The best multi-tool is not necessarily the right one for you (if you want to know how I decide what’s the right multi-tool) so let’s look at three of the most popular ones before you pull the trigger (excuse the pun) and open your wallet. That’s great for us but what I found was that what each multi-tool offered was very different from each other. In recent years, multi-tool makers have given weapons enthusiasts a few options to choose from. Makes sense that you put your two interests together and get a multi-tool that’s going to help you out when you’re at your weapons bench or out in the field. Or you’re a Multi-Tool MacGyver who owns an AR15 gun or M16 gun or something like that. You’re a weapons guy and you’re a tool guy.
