The Best Multitool Gifts of 2025

Multitools are versatile sidekicks for outdoor enthusiasts, professionals in the trades, and DIYers, which is why they make such great gifts. Ahead, we’ve assembled our list of the top Leatherman multitools, including the highly rated Leatherman ARC Talos, along with models from other top multitool manufacturers, including the Gerber Gear Armbar and classic Victorinox Swiss Army knife. These multitools include everyday carry models for the average homeowner, specialized multitools designed for outdoorsmen, and heavy-duty models for tradespeople and serious DIYers. 

The top pick from our best multitools guide boasts 13-tool functions, including spring-action pliers and a large serrated knife. Our tester was particularly impressed with its build quality: “The look and feel of the Wingman is top quality. The steel is polished to a high sheen, the surface is exceptionally smooth, and the tools are easily accessible with minimal effort—no straining or breaking a fingernail to get one out.” —Glenda Taylor, Product Reviews tester and writer.

Leatherman’s Wave+ has all the essentials a DIYer or professional needs out of a multitool, including pliers, knife, scissors, and wood saw. With its stainless steel construction, it’s exceptionally well-made. It’s an ideal everyday carry tool at a mid-tier price. 

It’s the multitool that started them all. The classic fire engine red Swiss Army knife features all the mainstays, including a knife, wood saw, can opener, and cork screws. Of course, there’s also a set of tweezers and toothpick, both of which slide into the body. This classic multitool makes for an ideal gift and is available at a reasonable price. 

The Latherman Talos is the pinnacle of everyday carry (EDC) multitools. The highlight of this 20-tool set is the MagnaCut Steel blade, which is renowned for its edge retention, durability, and rust resistance. The Talos version of the ARC has a bronze Cerakote finish for added style. And all the tools can be extended within hand. It also comes with a bit driver with a complete set of interchangeable bits. It’s the EDC tool for the serious DIYer in the family. 

This multitool is a great gift for the camper in your life. Along with the essential tools, including pliers and a knife, it also comes with several camping-focused tools. There’s a tent puller and a ferro rod you can use in conjunction with the knife to start a campfire. With its carabiner-style clip, it hooks conveniently to the utility loops on a backpack for easy access. 

If you’re looking for a budget-priced gift that looks pricey for your favorite DIYer, then consider the Gerber Gear Suspension-NXT. This 15-tool EDC multitool includes a stout set of pliers, a wire stripper, various drivers, and other useful tools. All of the tools extend easily and have a locking mechanism for safety. It’s a quality multitool at a surprisingly low price. 

Gerber’s Armbar is simple, well-made, and doesn’t cost much, making it a great, affordable gift option. It lacks the pliers that most multitools have, but it makes up for it with a stout blade, a bit driver that works with standard 1/4-inch bits, and a bottle opener that works better than most. 

Leatherman’s Micra makes a great stocking stuffer. It’s small enough to fit on a keychain yet includes a surprising number of handy tools, including a pair of scissors, a knife, and flathead and Philips drivers. There are also some handy grooming tools, including a pair of tweezers and a nail file.  

At more than half a pound with a closed length of 4.5 inches, the SOG Poweraccess Deluxe is bulkier than other multitool. But it also packs beefier tools, so it can take on more than your average multitool. Along with a large set of pliers, there’s also an impressive wood saw and serrated knife blade. It’s also equipped with tools useful for various repairs, including Phillips and flathead screwdrivers, a file, a nail puller, and a bit holder with a full assortment of bits. 

This novel multitool is built around the body of a survival hatchet. Along with the large hatchet, it also includes a hammer, pliers, fish descaler, knife, wood saw, and two types of screwdrivers– everything you need for an outdoor adventure. Weighing nearly a pound and measuring 7 inches long, it isn’t small, but it can handle tasks no other multitool can. 

Leathermen’s Skeletool CX manages to carry all the essential tools inside a multitool while remaining surprisingly lightweight and compact. The Skeletool CX includes a combination knife, bit driver, pliers and has a carabiner that doubles as a can opener that you can use to attach to a belt or backpack. All these tools, and it still weighs just 5 ounces. 

Leatherman’s aptly named Rebar delivers a solid selection of most commonly used tools that make it a popular gift choice for tradespeople and DIYers. It comes with a sturdy set of needle-nose pliers, wire cutters, wire strippers, and an electrical crimper, making it a good choice for electricians and other trades. There are also two knives, screwdrivers, and a can opener, and it comes in a variety of colors. 

Leatherman’s sidekick costs less than its other full-size multitools but still packs all the essentials, including a knife, wood saw, flathead and Phillips screwdrivers, scissors, and a nail file, all built around a large set of spring-action pliers. Plus, it’s small enough to carry easily in a pocket. 

With its abundance of tools and steep price tag, this multitool isn’t for everyone. It comes with 24 lockable tools, including two large blades, various drivers, and a larger set of pliers, all of which are accessible with one hand. Its curved handle gives it a sleek look while also making it comfortable in the hand.

The Gerber Dime’s is a mini multitool that’s both useful and affordable. Despite its small size, it sports 12 tools, including a pair of pliers, scissors, a couple of blades, and a file. At just over 2 ounces and less than 3 inches long, it’s small enough to fit on a keychain.
