Did not see a previous thread on this topic so figured I will start one. @Chris will likely move this thread from from Off-topic to another area in his never ending quest to classify and store information in the right forum area 
Pretty simple questions - What is your favorite multitool and why is it your favorite? Do you everyday carry one? If so, how?
I have two - a Leatherman Micra and a Leatherman Rebar. The Micra is on my person unless I travel on an airplane, and the Rebar lives in my backpack. I carry the Micra on my beltloop hanging from a carabiner and tucked into my back pocket. I usually take the Rebar when I go hiking/camping as well. The Micra is a really nice size.
I have had both for years and they have come in handy many many times. I used to have one of those ubiquitous small red victorinox keychain thingy that I lost to the damn TSA in my early grad school days in Florida. I bought a Micra when I got back from my trip and have had it since then. I don't generally carry a knife or anything. I see the micra as more of a personal grooming tool than a multitool. I like the old-school looks and how compact it is (50 grams!). When I moved to Oregon, I really got into outdoor camping and wanted to carry a bigger multitool on my outings. My choices came down to Wave vs Rebar. I don't need one handed opening or anything, and preferred the more compact size and classic shape of the Rebar, so just got it. Very happy with both of these.
Multitools have generally gotten crazy today, we have so many options from so many brands. Even from just Leatherman, there are so many damn models and the array of shapes, sizes and features is just nuts!
