I gave a leatherman to my wife for her purse and she loves it. I have a Gerber that sits on my dresser and gets quite a lot of use around the house when I don't want to go out to the shop for a tool. I like the Gerber better than the Leatherman because the quality seems much better. I can't wear a sheath, and a large item like a multitool wears my pockets out. I carry a small pocket knife.
