What an absolutely fantastic tool. I learned about it when a buddy brought one over while we were doing some automotive work. It fits into all kinds of tiny spaces and the ratcheting action means not having to reseat the head in the screw over and over again. I finally got one of my own and I'm so happy! It isn't used often... but when it is it's a total life saver. Feels sturdy for it's size too.

A completely necessary and mind-saving tool for cutting 1/2 Hardibacker. Seriously, I would never have been able to cut that stuff without this. Invaluable and, dare I say? REQUIRED.

Awesome tool! This has changed my life.  Making the JST connectors by hand using solder and plier tips was time consuming and painful if you make more than 2 sets.  I dreaded this part of the build as I am making many of these connectors.  The tool crimps beautifully and folds the little ear tabs so they pierce into the insulation and hold the wire securely, while the wire crimp tabs fold and really pinches down and holds the wire for a good contact. I had perfect success the first time with female JST connectors for a battery harness.  Use a small resistor leg inserted into the connector to give it a handle so you can place into the jaw of the crimper.  Leave the part that is not supposed to be crushed outside.  Partially close it down to hold the connector in place, then insert your striped wire with a short lead of bare wire. Squeeze, remove, and enjoy.

I bought this tool a few weeks ago as an add on to my package because I had some money left over on a gift card. I wanted to make sure I tried it out before I wrote a review and I have found a number of uses for this already I don't know how I lived without it! It is unbelievably sharp and heavy which really gives it quality feel. be careful cleaning it though. I had trouble cleaning the julienne side until I dug out an old dish brush and then it was pretty simple. The most surprising use for it has been using it to make sweet potato hash. Using a grater to shred the sweet potato was always such a pain but with the julienne tool  it was so much quicker and easier. The main reason I bought it was to try the whole "zoodle" craze and I have loved adding those to my homemade ramen. All in all I would buy this and other products from Priority Chef again.

absolutely awesome. Thought it was a bit pricey, but boy, once you get to use it, it makes the job (of say joining boards) a whole lot easier! Wish I had more than one!

Fantastic tool, would like to have more, but too pricey.

remarkably useful.  Finally a tool that can be used for a lot of things that are otherwise hard to do.  iPhone SIM cards are now a snap to replace rather than those clunky paperclips that I was always afraid would stab my phone in the wrong place and break it - now I have a study tool.  Recently our refrigerator handle came off and had some bizarre tiny screw with an odd head.  I would have had no way to repair this without this kit, but literally 30 seconds later - completely fixed.  Can't wait until next time I have to fix glasses.  This is handy and the price was right!

Its nice to know that I have the right tool for the right job.  Everything seems to be getting smaller and smaller and finally I have a way to keep up!

Boom! Whether a DIY home owner or a professional contractor, this thing is awesome!
My brother and I are both Handymen. He bought one a while back and I never thought to get one myself.
Now I have 2, and I am in love with them. Extremely useful. Being able to carry all of my fasteners in these is incredibly convenient.
VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Willed to me by a friend. The kind of thing I would never have purchased for myself.
Found it very handy in setting up bevel cuts on my table saw in the shop and getting back to 90*.  The (magnetic) gauge zeroes out at whatever degree of level my jobsite saw happens to be sitting. It's SO much easier than using a square to get a 90* or 45*. One reason for this is that you can zero it on the table where your stock is riding and not have to deal with the throat plate which is usually not perfectly flush with the table, especially on job-site saws.

It really shone, however, on a job where we were running high quality 8 or 10" (Windsor One) fascia with a 2x4 top band. It was a remodel where the fascia nailed square to the rafter tails on a house with many inside and outside miters and where the runs rarely met at a true 90*. All the miters were compound miters. We used compound angle tables and test pieces to get our joints.

The biggest challenge is to re-create the angles we found to be correct on the sliding compound miter-saw; very small variations in the angle and bevel setting have a very big impact on the fit of the cuts.

Using the Wixie gauge made the bevel part easy; zero it out on the table, stick it magnetically to the blade, and tilt it to the proper angle.

This one was a gift to the guy who brought me in on the remodel.

This tool is a real gem. I'm restoring an old house, and the paint removal guys (exterior) removed one of my newly-installed outlet boxes. They are deep, and the anchor screws (through exterior ears) are nearly impossible to drive home because of the tight proximity to the box.

I decided that this was probably not the right application for this tool, but why not?! So the carpenter nearby drilled my pilot holes for me, and I inserted a big wood screw (phillips head) and Wowie Zowie! That tool drove the shorter one home in two plunges, and the longer one in 3 1/2. About 1/2" at a time. Slick as a whistle, no wrist fatigue, and the "push" stroke ensures that the bit is not going to pop up and ruin the head.

Removing screws can be more of a challenge for the pump action, because the pressure to hold the bit in the screwhead will want to push the screw back in if it is a loose hole. Never fear! This baby has a locking mechanism that turns it into an ordinary long OR short screwdriver! (Lock it while extended or lock it will collapsed.)

Good, smooth, clean action. I wonder if it is OK to oil the rotation threads? Or if they'll just gum up on me.

I bought one of these for myself last spring.  I loved it so much I bought this one for my brother-in-law for Christmas.  The accessories included are worth the price, it is like you are getting the Oscillating Multi-Tool for free.  I carry this tool with me when ever I know I am going to be doing a handyman project.  Not sure how I got along without it.

This is the Swiss Army Knife or Leatherman of bike tools.  If you have no other tools, get this first, because it's all you'll need 90% of the time even if you're into installing your own parts.

I've had mine for over ten years, and rescued not only myself but dozens of other riders from walking their bikes home by making sure I always carry it.  And it's a handy multitool for household fixes as well.

If the quality, strength, and durability of this tool aren't enough to convince you, how about this: Just last week, I was removing my crank with it, and the bolt wouldn't turn, so I stood on it--as I had done many times over the years for things like getting a pedal off--and it finally popped a nut.

Entirely my fault--should have been using a crank wrench--but I sent an e-mail to Crank Brothers wondering if it was covered under the warranty and what I would have to do (if it would be even worth it), and within an hour they responded that they were sending me a brand new replacement--no proof of purchase or explaination required to see if it was a flaw in the tool or not, they just replaced it.  I received the new one in the mail in just a few days. They also offered to fix my old tool to keep as a spare.  Wow.

When I told my friends about this, they said they've had similar experiences with Crank Brothers on everything they make.  Absolutely outstanding service on top-of-the-line products.

Besides all that, I think it's the best designed, strongest, and most useful bike multitool money can buy.

Who knew what a huge difference something so small and seemingly insignificant could make in the process of sharpening a chainsaw chain. Having sharpened chains literally hundreds of times, it makes me feel stupid and silly not to have known about this tool, eg a Stump Vise. What a mooroon! Just glad that @ the wise old age of 58 I FINALLY do know about this great tool. I plan to use it every time I sharpen my saws for the rest of my life and tell all my friends and neighbors until I forgots whats a chainsaw is and does!!!!!

First I drop a little screw and I start FREAKING OUT!! Then I remember my Ullman HT-5 Pocket Telescopic Magnetic Pickup Tool With Powercap and suddenly all is not lost. And I go and find the little son of a bitch, and then I go and pick up the aforementioned screw. What a friggin concept, because I couldn't possibly bend my lazy ass over and pick up the screw to begin with. Trust me, you can't live without this tool. Buy it, NOW.

I didn't realize how much I needed a jigsaw until I bought this one. It's fantastically useful, and has all the adjustment that I know what to do with. If I could only have one saw for race car fabrication, something like this would be it.

I love this tool. I lost this tool. But now I bought it again. Because I absolutely love this tool.

This Leatherman was the first Leatherman I've actually enjoyed using.
It's got a belt clip AND a belt hook, because whoever designed it was a brilliant engineer, and knows carrying one of these suckers in your pocket is not an option. Leatherman makes solid tools, and they have serious heft to it, and there's no reason why it shouldn't have a functional belt clip. And a belt hook too. I can accept that.

The tools:

Carbon cleaner - This is an amazing scraper. It may be good for gun barrels but it's also good for other things that require scraping hard surfaces. Cleaning copper contacts, etc. I'm totally happy with it, it's very malleable (bends easily) and thin, and able to scrape those hard to reach places.

The bit holder - Kinda sucks you gotta have the tool half cracked to use the bit driver, but I can live with it.

The Hammer - I thought this was funny. It tries, and succeeds more than I thought. It doesn't replace a hammer though, and I'm not all that shocked. I don't intend to replace a hammer with a $180 Leatherman butt. I'll just tape a penny to a rock or a  something if I'm in a total jam and need to McGuyver something before I strike fear upon a nail with this at full force. Of course a person can imagine trying to aim with this thing in hand full force downwards, not good.
But all is not lost with teenie weenie hammer with a big soul. I've cut many a wire sleeves with the little knife inside the little hammer. And it's pretty great at doing it.

Knife - Very sharp, totally usable. I dig it.
Saw - Double tooth saw cuts through anything and does it fast. A bit rough though, but if I wanted a precision cut I'd grab a real saw with the proper blade.

Round poker thingy - I have no idea what this is for. I use it to punch holes in drywall before I put a screw through it. Maybe I'll sharpen the tip. Maybe I will put a cotton bud on the end and use it as a portable q-tip.

Pliers - This is where this tool absolutely shines in total glory. Not only does Leatherman succeed in making foldable pliers, they pull this off with style. The Pliers on the MUT are no exception to this brilliant concept and one of the more comfortable ones. Not to mention it's got wire crimp and wire cutters. I could use these as full function pliers all day and do it with a smile.

5 FULL BLOWN SHINEY STARS for my 5th Leatherman. This is my second MUT because I lost my other one, but I think this is a great tool, well engineered and great product.

The 1st thing I said out loud after having employed this tool was How did I change all those tires with out this tool?!

Fantastic tool does the job soooo Well. I do recommend you add the tire tamer to your tool kit as it's a Game changer.
