Buying a multitool?

Buying a multitool is not always easy. Which tools do you REALLY need? In this overview, we would like to give you some more advice on how to pick the best multitool. We will tell you which 'tools' you should have as a minimum when buying a multitool. In addition, it is of course important that your purchase fits within your budget. If you only use the multitool sporadically, it is better to get a light version that is less expensive than the more elaborate variants. It is also smart to look at the accessories you get with the tool, such as a storage pouch or extra screwdriver heads.

You can visit Shogun in our showroom to purchase a Multitool. This way, you can see and feel the multitool for yourself, something that is important with a tool for many people. Would you rather buy a multitool online? That's possible with us, we deliver directly from our stock so you get the model you want quickly. Ordering a multitool online at Shogun is quick and easy in our webshop. In many cases, your order is also shipped free of charge.

3 Tips for Choosing the Best Multitool

• Use: What will you use the multitool for? Will you take it with you in your backpack when you travel? Then it's better to bring a light version so you don't have to carry as much weight. Will you have the multitool with you when you go fishing? Then it is best to take a chromed version that does not rust easily. Think carefully in advance about which tools you will need. A pair of wire-cutter pliers, knife and screwdriver are the minimum requirements of a multi-tool of any quality. In addition, having a saw or a can opener is also extremely handy to carry with you.
• Budget: what is your budget? The price of multitools is often based on the amount of options and tools they offer. Also, the price depends on the brand you end up picking. For example, multitools from Leatherman are of higher quality than those from other brands, but are also more expensive. Fortunately, Leatherman also has multitools at relatively low prices, such as the Leatherman Wingman or Leatherman Sidekick.
• Accessories: What accessories do you get with your multitool? Whether it's a set of extra screwdriver heads, a storage pouch or replacement scissors. All these accessories are important for the correct use of your tool. Also, these are often parts you will need to replace after intensive use.

Top 5 Best Leatherman Multitools

• Leatherman Sidekick: Thanks to an excellent composition of useful tools and high-quality materials, the Leatherman Sidekick is the ideal compact pocket-sized multitool. Unlike heavier models like the Wave or Surge, the Sidekick has a weight of 200 grams, which allows you to easily carry the model in your pocket and take it with you on a daily basis. In addition, the Sidekick is also inexpensive compared to other models with a price of €72.95. With this model also comes a storage pouch and carabiner so that the multitool can be attached to a bag or belt loop. The Sidekick features 13 different tools. Check out the detailed information on the Sidekick's product page.
• Leatherman Wingman: The Leatherman Wingman is directly below the Sidekick in second place. This model has 13 tools, including several pliers, a wire cutter, scissors, half serrated knife, screwdrivers and a ruler. It is a lightweight compact multitool weighing only 200 grams and therefore easy to carry in your pocket, thanks in part to the carrying clip. This model has many similarities to the Sidekick but instead of a saw, it has scissors as a tool. The Wingman also has a scraper for scraping sharp edges of steel or plastic. For just under €67, you have a genuine Leatherman. Check out the Wingman's product page.
• Leatherman Wave+: The Leatherman Wave+ is probably the most developed and sold multitool ever. This model features pliers up to two times stronger than its predecessor and replaceable blades for the wire cutter. All tools can be locked when fully unfolded, increasing safety. The blades, files and saws are placed on the outside of the frame, so they can be opened without unfolding the multitool. The Wave+ has 18 different tools and is available in different versions. Prices range between €139 and €154. Check out the product page of the Wave+.
• Leatherman Surge: The Leatherman Surge is a large and comprehensive multitool equipped with many different tools. Thanks to the size of the arms and pliers, you can use more force than with other Leatherman models. The Surge has 21 different tools, including replaceable wire cutters, an extra awl, diamond file, electric cutter, bottle opener and cable cutter. This model is ideal for intensive use and heavy-duty jobs. Price: €147.50. View the Surge's product page.
• Leatherman Bond Clampack: This is an inexpensive model made for the handyman who does not want to spend too much on a multitool. The Bond Clampack is an entry-level model with a slip joint locking system, making it easy to open and close the tools. This model complies with European legislation and is versatile, lightweight and compact in size. Price: €59.95. View the product page of the Bond Clampack.
