Full size multitools are great, but they’re normally too big to fit in your pocket on a regular basis. Here’s our favorite pocket-friendly multitools for projects (and budgets) big and small.
Sure, you can keep a full size multitool nearby at your desk or in your car (or if you’ve fully given into the efficiency-first ethos of middle age, a belt holster), but you can’t just toss them in your jeans without worrying about being uncomfortable or getting some awkward looks.
Here are the best pocket friendly multitools that pack tons of tools without the bulge.What counts as a pocket multitool is up for debate. If you’re the kind of person who rocks cargo shorts year round, anything smaller than a dinner plate is technically pocket friendly. For most people, however, we felt that a tool that was about 3.5 inches long and less than around 0.75 inches thick was right. It’s small enough to fit in your pocket with your keys or money clip, but still big enough to be useful. You might struggle to squeeze our picks into the pocket of your skinny jeans or dress pants without throwing off the cut, but for the pants you’re wearing everyday they’ll be perfect.
Leatherman Juice CS4 ($80)
At 3.2 inches long and 0.8 inches wide, the Leatherman Juice CS4 Multitool ($79.95) is the best pocket friendly multitool—by our definition—in Leatherman’s line up. It comes in Granite and Columbia Blue.
What sets the Juice CS4 apart from many of Leatherman’s smaller multitools is that it has a proper Phillips head screwdriver included among the 15 tools; which is a great inclusion given how many day to day tasks call for one. The full list of tools is:
- Needlenose pliers
- Regular pliers
- Hard-wire cutters
- Wire cutters
- 420HC high-carbon stainless steel knife
- Saw
- Spring-action scissors
- Awl
- Can opener
- Bottle opener
- Corkscrew
- Phillips head screwdriver
- Medium/large screwdriver
- Small screwdriver
- Extra small screwdriver
Like most multitools, the Juice CS4’s tool list is padded somewhat (are the needlenose pliers and regular pliers really separate tools?
) but it’s got the important everyday basis covered. Like all Leatherman tools, it comes with a 25 year warranty.Leatherman Style PS ($30)
