I'll often go fetch "real" tools when I'm at home because they'll reach better, or fit better, or give more leverage. But when it comes to a tool that will always be on my hip, these things are pretty durable.

I'm mostly a Leathrman guy and have always had one around for over 15 years now. I'm sending one back for the first time because I wore the diamond coating off the file when using it to hacksaw a security cable and liberate my trapped spare tire.
