## How to choose the best EDC multi-tool
There are many options to choose from, which is nice, but it can also tricky. Start by asking yourself: what do I want to use the multi-tool for?  Do you use your multi-tool for simple everyday things like tightening a screw or opening a box? Then a compact multi-tool like the Gerber Dime, for example, is your buddy. If you want to do heavier work, then a larger model like the Leatherman Arc, for example, could be right for you. It's important that the tool fits your lifestyle. Weight, size and number of functions really make the difference between a tool you carry every day or one that ends up in a drawer.

### Smart choice: features and materials
Multi-tools come in all shapes and sizes, but ultimately it's the features that matter. Stainless steel tools last for years, especially if they are manufactured well, for instance, brands like Leatherman and SOG. Also pay attention to locking tools: nothing as annoying (and dangerous) as a knife that collapses during use. Tools with a bit holder or interchangeable parts like the Leatherman Arc give you extra versatility. And do you really want a multi-tool that can do everything, even without hands? Then look for models that can be opened with one hand. These are the real heroes in emergencies.
