I have several multi-tools, all Leatherman. For my hunting daypack, I moved to the lighter smaller Leatherman Juice, and find it meets my "field expedient repair" needs nicely.
My son used a Gerber every day for a year or more, but it loosened terribly to the point it was almost unusable. I gave him a Leatherman Super tool, and no problems in over 3 years. It's still tight.
