#BEST LEATHERMAN MULTI TOOL DRIVER#
The center axis screwdriver is the standout feature of this multitool, as prior to the Center-Drive Plus, no multitool had ever offered a driver on the center axis with a standard bit.
#BEST LEATHERMAN MULTI TOOL PLUS#
The Gerber’s Center-Drive Plus is the multitool I use most around my farm, because I love the heavier weight of it, which makes it feel and perform with a lot of durability, as well as how it contours to my hand. This is a workhorse of a tool, and it includes 18 tools in all, including replaceable wire cutters, wire stripper, saw, spring-action scissors, ruler, can and bottle openers, files, and screwdrivers. The Wave got its “Plus” name after a redesign in 2004, which included adding a larger knife and locking blades, as well as stronger pliers. The Wave is Leatherman’s flagship tool lineup, and many of its features - like the exterior blades - are accessible with just one hand. The Leatherman Wave is the OG in the multitool space, and really, if any list of multitools out there doesn’t include this one, it’s doing you a massive disservice. If you’re in the market for a multitool and are trying to narrow down which are some of the best farm multitools around, this list should be where you get started.

Yes, the old adage goes that “the best tool is the one you have on you,” but with a little understanding of what you’re looking at and buying, you can really get the best tool the first time around: the one you have as well as the one that works for your needs. But the best farm multitool will be one that really works for your situation. If you have smaller hands, for example, some multitools may feel too big and unwieldy, especially if trying to use the needle-nose pliers on them. When looking at multitools, things to consider are the number of features they have, so that you can complete your tasks properly, as well as the build quality and feel of the tool in your hand. A good multitool is going to have a wealth of features and functionality, such as pliers, one more more knife blades, a saw, wire cutters, files, and screwdrivers. While I’ll admit that I also love having a traditional (and trusty) knife on my hip or in my pocket, I get a lot of benefits from my farm multitools, especially when I have to work around small machinery or tackle some fencing repairs. While many people generically refer to multitools as “Leathermans” because of how well the Leatherman brand has penetrated this market, there are actually several makers of multitools - and among them, you should be able to find the best farm multitool to suit many of your chores. Almost nobody on a farm has just one task that they focus on, so why should your tools be one-dimensional as well? Enter the multitool.
