How to choose a multitool

Multitools are an invaluable tool for airsofters, a kind of "Swiss Army knives on steroids" that come in handy in unexpected situations on the battlefield. These compact but versatile tools offer a range of functions - from pliers and knives to openers and screwdrivers. In airsoft, where preparedness and adaptability are key, choosing the right multitool is essential. Let's take a look at how to choose the right multitool.





1. Determination of the purpose of use in airsoft

Your airsoft needs will determine which multitool is best for you. Whether you need the tool for repairing equipment in the field, preparing a campsite, or just for everyday tasks. Each multitool has different tool sets suitable for different situations.


2. Size and portability

For airsoft, portability and easy storage of the multitool is important. Smaller models may be suitable for carrying in a tactical vest, while larger ones may offer more features.


3. Tooling

Make sure the multitool contains the tools that are essential to you. Such as screwdrivers for adjusting your sights or pliers for repairing equipment.


4. Quality and material

In airsoft, where equipment is often exposed to harsh conditions, the quality of the multitool is definitely important. Brands like Leatherman are known for their durability and reliability in the harshest conditions.


5. Leatherman: The reliable partner for airsoft

Founded by Tim Leatherman, who came up with the idea for a multitool while traveling, Leatherman offers a line of multitools ideal for airsoft. Models like the Leatherman Wave or Rebar are popular for their sturdiness and versatility.


6. Price vs. value in airsoft

While Leatherman multitools may be more expensive, their quality and durability make them a worthwhile investment for any airsoft player.
