If you didn’t know, I just recently got back from a trip to the Democratic Republic of Congo. I have been looking at vacation/retirement property there for a while now. During my trip I got to use a variety of different multi-tools. Below I will show the ones I had the pleasure of using and then make my own suggestions on how to improve it.
When Leatherman made the Charge TTi, they combined all of the most requested features into one functional tool. The TTi’s premium comfort-sculpted titanium handle scales and an S30V® stainless steel clip-point knife to really take this multi-tool to the next level. Who says a multi-tool can’t be sexy?
- PRIMARY BLADE LENGTH: 2.9 in | 7.37 cm
- CLOSED LENGTH: 4 in | 10 cm

Suggestions To Improve: Add a gas powered chainsaw. Situated next to the minisaw, Leatherman should add a real gas powered chainsaw to its blade arsenal. The minisaw is not suitable to cut down large adult trees. When your life is on the line lost in the wooods, building a tree house is your first priority and a gas powered chainsaw will help you do just that.
Woodsman 4-in-1 Tool. It chops, saws, pounds and pulls. An Axe, Bow Saw, Mallet and Stake Puller… you get them all! So you can cut through a tangle of brush and tree limbs, set up and take down a tent or blind, and conquer just about anything else that crops up when you’re in the wild. From camping to survival: Steel Hatchet has 5″ blade; 15″ Bow Saw cuts oak up to 4″ in diameter; Mallet helps you put up tent in a hurry… even when ground is hard; Stake puller gets you on the road sooner.
- Product Dimensions: 2 x 21 x 9 inches ; 3.4 pounds
Suggestions To Improve: I think the only thing missing from this bad boy is to add an electric leaf blower. When camping out in the wild, there are always those pesky leaves falling around your campsite. With this, you would never have to worry about a leaf ridden camp site again. It will also work as a bear protector. If a bear stumbles upon your campsite, blowing leaves at him has been proven to be an effective solution.

Suggestions To Improve: This handy dandy ax is the perfect truckers companion. Adding two katana blades would complete this multi-tool. When the axe portion of this multi-tool doesn’t work fighting off multiple robbers, disengaging the katana blades will make quick work of your attacker. Push button pepper spray added to the top of the axe would allow you to blind your attacker before cutting him apart with an axe.

Suggestions To Improve: A tomahawk tool is a must have survival tool. When you’re lost in the woods, this tomahawk is the perfect companion to take over villages or little cities along the way. I’d like to see a specialized gland or pouch attached to the bottom of this tomahawk to deliver a healthy dose of venom to the blade. This way, when you’re slicing your way to conquest and victory, your victims have a chance of dying a more terrible death.
