How we chose
This list includes every multi-tool in our database that meets all of these criteria: pliers; scissors; saw. Multi-tools are sorted by manufacturer weight, lightest first. Nobody pays to be included.
Specs come from manufacturer pages (or, for brands whose own sites we can’t read, a retailer’s page) unless marked otherwise, and every value links to its source on the product page. Prices are the lowest in-stock price we found on Oct 25, 2026 and change often.
This is a spec comparison, not a hands-on review. Summaries are written with AI assistance from verified data only. Read our methodology.
