Multitool question

[Little Rickie]

I carry the leatherman skeletool in winter and on select 3 season hikes. It’s good and rugged, just the ticket for me.

It's a little pricy, I'd hate to lose it.

If some company offered a multitool with a adjustable wrench ("crescent wrench") head along with pliers I would be all set.

Like this?

Hard to see from the picture but the side that isn't a crescent wrench has a screwdriver blade. Like many multi tools, it isn't that good of a crescent wrench, pliers or screwdriver, but it has the advantage of only being one thing to lose.

Leatherman Squirt

I carry the "Leatherman Squirt"

It's lite, packs small, and right now is on sale for about $25.

It has almost everything I need for small Trail side repairs.

Hope you never need it.....

There appear to be at least 2 different models of the Leatherman Squirt with the same designation (or REI has a mistake in their listings).

The difference is subtle--compare the specs carefully.

I thank you all for the excellent input, it was a difficult decision but I went with the skeletool. It made a difference that I got 30% off because they only had the floor model left.
