![]() With the loss of the one larger outside opening tool, you do get a more sculpted ergonomic handle. The Rev also features a non spring loaded pliers. Thus, the Rev features one less outside opening tool compared to the Wingman and Sidekick. The Sidekick exchanges the scissors for a saw, and instead of the small package opener, you get a serrated knife plus the carabiner of course. The Wingman features the same tools as the Rev with the exception of an added pair of scissors. The other side is identical in both tools. Note that the ruler markings on the Rev are deeper and somewhat easier to read. ![]() Here we see the Sidekick on the top and the Rev on the bottom. For inside tools, the load out is very similar. The tool loud-out is somewhat similar, with the Sidekick featured an outside opening saw that the Rev does not have. Here we see the top Sidekick with the bottom Rev. The Wingman and Sidekick are identical to each other except for some of the tools found in each model. The different shade is due to the angle of the tool as the flash was bounced off the ceiling. ![]() I'm happy that there is so much diversity now and selection for us to find a multi-tool which suits each of our individual needs.I am not going to say much.but here are some photos for you to compare them to each other.īoth are the same colour. Every person's needs are different and the original multi-tools (ie, the Victorinox Swiss Army Knife) were really, really cumbersome for the average person who didn't use 90% of the tools on it. That's why I'm glad we have so many multi-tools these days of every shape and size. Neither of them have a knife, or a bunch of other tools that I don't need. and the set of two is still much smaller than either a single Leatherman or Swiss Army Knife. This is very useful for bending things, and "undoing" things, and taking things apart. Unfortunately neither of them have an awl but other than that they give me all the tools I need from a multi-tool and also allow me to grip things at both ends with two pliers, one in each hand. I have also had Victorinox Swiss tools, but much prefer the Leathermans because the most useful tool to me in those sets is the pliers.Ĭurrently I just carry two very small folding plier sets, one which has a decent file and the other which has a very good set of screwdrivers. That's exactly why I don't want one on my multi-tool, is because it's so important that I always carry a "real" one (ie, a dedicated knife). Yes, a knife is a tool and in my opinion the most important tool a man could have. I bought the Leatherman because I wanted a set of folding pliers, not because I wanted a multi-tool to replace my knife. ![]() I'm just not the type of guy who can rely on a multi-tool that tries to be everything. The Leatherman is not a small tool, and that redundancy does have an affect. I'm just saying that they can't compare with whatever dedicated knife I have on my person. Don't get me wrong, I'm not disputing that they're decent quality for a folder. I still think they're one of the best folding pliers around, but I do expect more from my knives.
