Best Survival Multi-Tool 2020

Every day we solve many problems. Sometimes for this, we need only 1 minute and a box with a set of tools. But there are situations when you need to act right now, but there is no tool.

It can be fishing, hiking, emergency, or repairing some kind of mechanism or furniture. For these cases, there is a multi-tool, in one case several tools at once. Let’s look at the Amazon window display and choose the best.

#1 Gerber Suspension Multi-Plier [22-01471]

Carrying 12 instruments at the same time in one pocket is very bulky and inconvenient, but with Gerber Suspension it is easy. This tool included the 12 most important components. The sturdy stainless steel frame and Saf.T.Plus locking system securely store and block all components from unauthorized release. The 4-inch design weighs 9.6 ounces and rests firmly in the hand. To open the desired tool, you need to press the latch and with the other hand pull the desired component. Using only 1 hand, during switching, may not be very convenient and not safe. Storage in a cheap nylon waist bag is also not recommended. Velcro wears out quickly and you can lose your multitool. The main knives seem sharp, but too fragile and thin, so be careful when using.

#2 Iunio Folding Shovel, Portable, Camping Multitool

This folding shovel looks and feels very strong, albeit small. The size of the head of the shovel is only 5.5″ x 7″ and the total length with an elongated handle reaches 35″. This is enough to dig to full height. If you have to dig in a limited space, the handle of 4 modular tubes can be shortened to 28″, 21″ or 14″ shovel, this is just one function of this multitool. This tool also has a hex wrench, a saw, a compass, a bottle opener, a nail extractor, a hoe, a fish removal tool, an emergency whistle, and a fire rod. All this variety is packed in a small tactical bag 8.66 x 5.31 inches. If you need a larger shovel or other equipment for additional tools, this seller has different offers. The modular parts of the shovel can unwind during operation. To fix this, it is necessary to wrap Teflon tape on the thread. This tool is made in Asia. Even a good quality control department can make mistakes and miss a defective tool. This is not scary, because the support service answers all questions of customers in just a few hours. The seller will provide a replacement if you describe in detail the problem and attach photos of the damage.

#3 LIANTRAL Camping Shovel Axe Set- Folding Portable Multi Tool Survival Kits

This carbon steel and aluminum alloy set are designed as lightweight travel, camping, or emergency kit. The compact bag easily fits a folding shovel, an Allen key, a whistle, flint, a folding handle, a knife, a cutter, a saw, and much more. The main difference between this set is the engraving “head of the wolf” on an ax. Many consider this engraving to be “childish,” but it does not affect the strength of the structure, it is just decor. The removable handle has rubber ring gaskets at the junction. This blocks the handle from unauthorized unscrewing. The whole structure is light enough, which is not an advantage for an ax. In addition, Chinese production does not provide decent quality control. If you decide to buy this survival kit, check out the kit while the 30-day money-back guarantee is in effect. Thus, you risk nothing, but get a good camping kit or emergency car kit.

#4 Rose Kuli 7” Portable Multipurpose Multitool Multifunctional Pocket Mini Tools

This is a multitool and an ax in one case. This is a rather original concept that looks very functional. For a large male hand, this may be insignificant and look like a toy, but in the hand of a small scout, it is a real tool for survival. You can carry the tool in a small nylon bag by hanging it on a belt. The bag is not very strong, so monitor its condition so as not to lose your tool. Like most products, this device is made in China. This fully explains poor quality control. Of the common problems, you may encounter a poorly installed rivet (which holds the wood trim). This can be fixed in your workshop in just a few precise strokes. Sharpening some tools might be better, but you can also fix this yourself. The most dangerous of these are drop-out tools when struck with a hammer. Sharp edges can damage your hand, so always wear gloves when working with percussion instruments.

#5 RoverTac Multitool Camping Tool

This stainless steel multitool has some of the standard components of a Swiss knife with the addition of an ax and a hammer. The manufacturer has made the appearance more attractive by adding red and black oxidation. Corporate cover with full protection against the sharp part of the ax makes carrying on the belt safer. Build quality seems good to buy this tool for a gift to lovers of tourism, hunting, or fishing. The size of the ax in the picture can be misleading. This “formidable” weapon with a chopping blade of about 1.5 inches inspires fear only on a bonsai tree, but no more. 7″ the ax cannot work as it should because of its tiny size! With it, you can cut down a branch for frying marshmallows, but not a branch larger than 2″. Moreover, the protective rubber on the ax blade is constantly trying to slip and get lost. It would be better if the rubber band clung to the head of the hammer. This could solve the problem. A good tool for camping or emergency suitcase. Beautiful enough to give to a man or woman. The main thing is to check the quality in advance so that you do not have to blush with shame for a broken Chinese product.

#6 Off Grid Tools Survival Axe Ultimate Outdoor Multitool

This stainless-steel multi-ax is an excellent multi-tool. With it, you can equip a campsite, chop wood for a fire or get out of a locked car. Almost all the components are concentrated in the head of the ax. The removable saw blade is hidden in the handle and opens with a slightly protruding lock. The ax is made strong enough and will help to train throws into dead trees. If you want steel better than the base kit (420 carbon steel) for your emergency ax, consider the elite version of the offer. The elite ax is made in the USA from carbon steel 1055 and completely repeats the design and functionality of the basic version. The main drawback is Off Grid – Tools’ attitude towards safe use. An open ax blade can cause troubles with careless use. If you keep this ax under the driver’s seat, it’s scary to imagine how this 1.6 lb ax will fly in the event of an accident. This omission can be too expensive.

#7 DPNAO Multitool Wrench With 7 Tools

This is a small multi-tool classic concept. It contains the most popular tools that are in demand every day as in a workshop when fixing electrical appliances, when cycling, or in forest camping. There is nothing bulky, heavy, or unnecessary. The multitool is conveniently located on the belt, in a branded nylon case. For the fastest access, it can be mounted on a pocket with a tactical clip. The design of the instrument is made in a mirror style. Right-handed and left-handed people can equally conveniently activate any of the necessary components using one hand. The only drawback of this approach is that components can protrude or unwind by themselves. This may result in the loss of a component (for example, a wrench head), or personal injury during work. This is a good suggestion if you do not need the WOW effect. This is a simple tool that does not surprise – it just does its job. Each component, with a high degree of probability, will find its scope as soon as you pick it up.

#8 Multitool Knife. 15 in 1 Portable Pocket Multifunctional Multi Tool

The seller generously praises this multitool. 15 functional stainless-steel components in one instrument, it sounds really good. A lightweight and branded belt bag provides functionality and mobility, and a lifetime warranty and additional discounts (up to 20%) make this offer sweet and attractive. Buying this Pro-Master 15-in-1 you need to understand, this tool is made in China. This matter and is directly reflected in the quality of the assembly and tools made of carbon steel (420). If you are not impressed (a lot of good knives are really made in China) – be prepared that the tools will not block. Using a knife or tightening a screw with a screwdriver, the component may arbitrarily return to the handle. This can cause damage to your fingers, you need to be very careful with this tool! Please note that among the 15 instruments there is a fish scaler. The size of this tool may limit your catch, so take care of a spare fish cleaning tool. If you are considering this tool for a boy scout (10-12 years old), this may not be the best choice, because the tools are not blocked. As an emergency kit, it’s better than nothing, but daily use of the tool like a screwdriver in the office can threaten your fingers.

#9 LEATHERMAN  Signal Camping Multitool

Anyone who knows LEATHERMAN – knows the meaning of the word “quality”. And this time, the American product shows a level of professionalism that is simply unattainable for Asian competitors. This time we have 19 in 1 Signal Camping Multitool in our hands. A bright color is needed to make the instrument more noticeable in low light. Locking all components makes use comfortable and truly safe. Since the tool out of the box has a large amount of oil, the fire starter will not work normally. Removing excess oil from the tool is a dirty job that not everyone likes, but it needs to be done. 2 color options do not give much choice, but this is an extension of an existing lineup. There are complaints of customers that the paint layer quickly erases in places of friction and the opening of pliers, but guys, this is a working tool and not a model on the podium. If you pay attention to beauty, and not practicality – you can become an elegant prey for the grizzly, instead of surviving!
This tool will be a good gift for every man over 10 years old. But be careful – the girls like him too!)

#10 LEATHERMAN Surge Heavy Duty Multitool

This tool is the “luxury limousine” in the world of multitools. It looks spectacular, it combines 21 instruments in one case and it has a 25-year warranty. An important difference between tools and LEATHERMAN is reliability, its own design office, and production in Portland. While others sacrifice quality and order production in China, LM is true to its principles. But this tool has minor problems. It is sent to the buyer in a large amount of oil. This is especially unpleasant for impatient buyers who would like to experience the tool directly from the box. The second weak point is the unstable stiffness of the folding components. At first, the structure is very rigid and folds out with two hands. After several months of use, the mount loosens and the efforts of one hand will be enough to get the right component. Still unpleasantly surprised by a nylon carrying case. She presses the instrument too tightly and it becomes difficult to pull it out with one hand. Otherwise, this is a good product that deserves your attention.

Conclusion

We decided to mark 2 finalists:

• If you need to prepare for the mud road through the forest – No. 3 LIANTRAL Camping Shovel Ax Set – will help you get out of the hole, remove the tree from the road and make a fire.
• If we talk about the universal tool “workshop in your pocket” – No. 9 Signal Camping Multitool – this is American quality and reliability in one hand.

We hope you were interested and thank you for being with us. Have a great adventure!
