LEATHERMAN Curl Multitool - Stainless Steel Everyday Carry Tool with Nylon Sheath | Compact & Durable for Camping, Hiking, DIY & Emergency Use

For some context here, I've been working as a prototype fabricator for about a decade now, I build a lot of stuff and almost always need a multitool at my side. Since Covid hit I haven't needed my beefy Surge nearly as much, but I still find myself needing a multitool pretty often. I have a wave, skeletool, a juice, and an assortment of other leathermans as well, but they are either akward in the pocket, are too small, or just don't have enough features. Enter the Leatherman Curl.The Leatherman Curl is pretty rad, and its got some subtle features that are pretty nice improvements over the Wave. While its really nice having 4 tools that you can open from the exterior on the wave, I personally find that I only would ever use the knife and the saw, and occasionally the serrated knife when I just need a sharp thing to open something. Removing two tools means the curl becomes lighter and it becomes thinner which makes it much more pocket friendly. Swapping out the eyeglass tool for an awl was an awesome move on leathermans part as well.Something else that's pretty neat about how they designed the curl is that all the interior tools lock via a slipjoint mechanism. this reduces the part count for leatherman which means they can cut some cost. Not only that, but since slipjoints use a cam and a spring in order to lock, they were able to adjust when the spring actually contacts the cam of the interior tools resulting in easier tool access. In layman's terms, you can pull tools out from the inside without ripping off your fingernails! Out of the slew of different leathermans I have owned, this one has the nicest feeling interior tools.Some things I did notice on mine that were only minor annoyances were that there was a noticeable burr left on one of the screws, and some of the edges had very very very minor burrs that were knocked down with a pass or two of a file. Far from deal breakers for me.I think the only downside is that I would have much preferred having a saw over a file on the exterior of the tool, so I'll be buying a spare saw from a wave and swapping it out. Again, not a deal breaker.Overall, the Curl covers 95% of the things I use a multitool for while also being incredibly pocket friendly, wallet friendly, and even fingernail friendly. Oddly enough, I think i actually preferer this over the wave and I'll likely be purchasing a backup one or two in the not too distant future!
