Signal®

Amazing every day carry

5/5 - If you spend any time outdoors, just get the Signal. I've put this thing through everything - camping, hiking, fishing, working on stuff in the garage, and it has never let me down. The build quality is classic Leatherman - solid, tight tolerances, opens smooth but locks up like a tank. What makes the Signal different from other multitools is it was actually designed for the outdoors. The ferro rod / fire starter actually works, the emergency whistle is loud, the hammer is surprisingly useful, and the diamond-coated sharpener has saved my knife on more than one trip. And you still get the essentials done right - the pliers, the 420HC combo blade, saw, bottle opener, can opener, drivers. It's not bulky either. For how much is packed into it, it carries really well on a belt or in a pack. I’ve had cheaper multitools loosen up or rust - this one just keeps going. It's a little pricier than a basic multitool but worth every penny. This is a buy-it-for-life tool that could genuinely get you out of a jam. 100% recommend.

Signal Tool

Best easy Leatherman for in the field while archery and rifle hunting big bucks and elk. It is my only knife I use except when gutting and skinning animals, then I use my Outdoor edge which is basically a scalpel. The Leatherman Signal has all the tools for outdoor hiking and hunting.

Perfect to throw in my backpack or the car for camping/hiking. I already carry a multi-tool at work and chose the signal for the “striking surface” and bits.
