I EDC a Leatherman Supertool. I find that I use it everyday, mostly the plyers, crimpers, and screwdrivers. You are correct when you say that there are better tools in the toolkit. But the toolkit is somewhere else, and usually I don't need a great tool, just a little prying, crimping, etc. I also EDC the Leatherman in the woods, not so much for dealing with natural items, but with man made items. Some piece if gear needs bending, tightening, loosening, etc.
