The D ring gives the sheath the ability to sway a bit, so when you sit down, you are easily able to sweep the knife aside without the annoyance of banging it against your seat and feeling the counter pressures tug at your belt line. The D ring is fixed directly to the sheath with an ultrastrong adapter, preventing creasing or breakage in the event that you snag the sheath while moving through the brush. The dangler is a loop that goes up and over your belt, then through a D ring below the belt. This method allows you to suspend the knife from your belt, making it more comfortable to draw a longer blade as well as making your knife more accessible in cases where you might be wearing a shirt untucked, or a jacket. The plates can get creased or broken, but the loop will bend and flex under stress, while remaining stiff and sturdy under normal conditions. Unlike conventional standoff plates or “drop plates”, the fixed loop provides all the benefits of the lower position, but eliminates the vulnerabilities. It is a nice option for those who don’t want the sheath to swing freely, and who also don’t want the knife to be up high on the belt. This is the same as the dangler, except the loop is fixed directly to the sheath, effectively cutting out the articulating D ring. It also only allows for horizontal carry positions, though it doesn’t require any removal or repositioning to switch hands it is entirely ambidextrous as is. Unfortunately, if the knife is large or really have l heavy, this method is less practical. It is the lowest profile option for scout/horizontal carry. However, there are a few TSA-approved mini-multi tools that you can travel with so you may want to opt for these options if you are a frequent flyer.This is a wide leather loop that goes over the spine of the sheath and has rugged pull the dot snaps (aka one-way fasteners) to allow for adding/removing the sheath without undoing the belt. Airport security enforces regulations that may prohibit one from bringing many of the regular-sized multi-tools onboard flights. For example, manufacturers such as Leatherman offer a limited warranty of up to 25 years on many of its multitools, which tells you that its products are not only well designed but also durable. Many trusted manufacturers offer different forms of assurances regarding the quality and durability of their multi-tools.

On the other hand, the more durable multitools would be recommended for the out-and-out DIY individual who virtually never turns to professional contractors for repairs. The affordable and less durable ones would be better suited for light, infrequent use. Consider how often you use a multitool to determine if you should seek an affordable option or splurge on a full-sized multitool. Types of EDC Multitools Regular/Full-Sized Multitools This fusion makes it almost impossible to misplace one of the components, unlike the use of several single-function tools, which are much easier to misplace or lose. By design, the EDC multitool consists of a fused set of tools.
Also, for multi-purpose operations such as disassembly of equipment (where one may need to unscrew, pry, loosen bolts, etc.), switching between tools takes much less time when using a multitool as compared to using several single tools. The sourcing and maintenance of 20 different single tools can be time-consuming. A vast majority of EDC multitools are much more affordable in comparison to the cumulative cost of buying a single tool for 10 to 20 different functions, as well as a toolbox or tool belt to carry them all in. It does away with the frustrating need to keep up with the storage location of separate tools. EDC multi-tools bring together most of your much-needed tools in one place.
This helps to save on physical space in comparison to owning separate normal-sized tools. The essence of every EDC multitool is to combine multiple functions into one item.
