While Leatherman and Victorinox might be the first brands you think of when it comes to many-splendored multi-tools, they are hardly the only names in the game.
Based (like Leatherman) in the knife and EDC hotbed that is Portland, Oregon , Gerber makes dozens of well-designed options that are generally more affordable than you might expect.

That makes them almost irresistible when they go on sale. Such is the case lately with a real no-nonsense EDC standby, the Lockdown Pry .
Packing 10 reliable functions into an easily pocketable profile, it is currently available on Amazon for $34, a whopping 43 percent off the regular price of $60.
Function first
Like the best multi-tools, the Lockdown Pry is slim and compact when all its tools are folded inside, measuring 6.7 inches long by 1.1 inches wide and weighing 5.7 ounces.
Within that slender stainless steel frame are enough tools to tackle probably 90 percent of the everyday tasks most of us encounter.

On one end you will find the pry bar, which also incorporates the small flat driver, large flat driver, nail puller and bottle opener.
On the other end you can deploy additional tools, including a 2.5-inch plain-edge blade, a chisel with both a coarse and fine file, a replaceable no.11 utility blade and spring-loaded scissors.
Lock it down
You can shop Amazon now to score the Lockdown Pry for just $34.
It's worth noting that a couple of its siblings are also on sale.

The streamlined, seven-function Lockdown Slim is currently $40, 11 percent off the regular price of $45.
Meanwhile, the Lockdown Drive , which swaps out the pry end for a fold-out driver and the scissors for an awl, is available for $50, 16 percent off the regular price of $60.
