Multitools Tested: Premium

A multitool is the ultimate foldaway gadget for your glovebox. We put 14 top-sellers to the test to find our ace of blades

Multitools tested: premium

November 2006

Compact companion in the garage or emergency toolkit in your glove­box – nothing is more practical and flexible than a handy multitool.

We tested 14, all of which featured pliers and varying numbers of blades, screwdrivers and other fittings. We divided them into premium and budget sectors at the £60 mark, which equates roughly to medium and large sizes.

Most of the tools came with a storage pouch, either made from tough fabric or leather – but which is the one you should go for?

Verdict

Victorinox combined quality and performance with a great price to take the top spot. Second place was almost too close to call between the Surge and Legend – you’d have no complaints about either.

  1. Victorinox Swisstool Rescue RS
  2. Gerber Legend MP800
  3. Leatherman Charge Ti
