    IT multi-tools?

    Has anyone come across a decent multi-tool aimed at IT usage - common drivers, cable stripper maybe etc.?

    I always carry a Swiss Champ that often comes in handy, but wondered if there was anything more IT specific people have used and swear by?

    Just curious.

    This one looks pretty damned cool, but at that price, I'd just carry a damned toolkit

    I work in instrumentation, rather than IT, but similar stuff considering its all controlled by a PC.
    SwissArmy Cybertool is reasonable, has drivers, etc

    Leatherman ES4 has wire strippers (and is pretty small)
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Leatherman-S.../dp/B003J37BGQ

    But I settled on an old leatherman PST2, which is a small belt carry multitool. I find it incredibly handy as a day to day tool, might add a ES4 at some point.

    You can add driver kits to most good multitools, I have a larger leatherman is my shooting kit that has a wide range of screwdrivers a bit kits, but its dodgy to carry day to day because of the locking blades, and its a bit on the heavy side. I have couple of mid range Chinese multitools (Ganzo) but to be honest they are pretty poor compared to a Gerber, SOG, or Leatherman. This is odd because some of the premium brands are made in China.
