I guess I've purchased most of the multitools out there, and I always gravitate back to the Leathermans.

The workhorses in my collection are a couple of SuperTools. These are heavy enough to do real work, and they hold up well.

I also really like the second generation Waves. Again, heavy enough for real work but not outrageously large for constant carry. Like others, I have a folder for heavy cutting work and reserve the Wave blades for backup use.

I've also purchased a number of Gerbers, SOGs and SwissTools. Gave the Gerbers away, as well as the full-size SwissTool and all the SOGs except the PowerPliers.

I like my SwissTool Spirit, since it's skinny in a back pocket and contains a good tool selection; however, that mirror finish is just too darn slippery in practical use. Just wait until your hands get sweaty, oily or just plain wet, and then try to bear down on the pliers handles. I may scuff it up with coarse emery cloth one of these days.

I think the Blast has a perfect tool selection, and am testing one out right now. The only question mark is how well the Zytel spacers for the pliers will hold up. That remains to be seen. However, you can get two for the prices being listed here, and Leatherman's warranty is "no BS" -- I can attest to that. For what it's worth, I wouldn't hesitate to take one on a road trip or backpacking trip.
