Hi all, first time posting in here. I'm after a keychain tool for everyday use for little tasks and have been looking at a few tools such as the Leatherman Squirt / Style CS, Gerber Vise and Vic Minichamp. What would be your recommendation and why?

I have a swisstech utili-key on my keyring and I find I use it a lot , looks a bit like a key , easy to take off the ring and put back

I use a Leatherman Squirt PS4 and a micro pry bar thingy (from Survival Depot, who I've found to be very efficient - no connection etc), both on a bit of cord with my front door keys. I find I use one or the other of them all the time for small scale, everyday jobs. Not very bushcrafty, but I used the PS4 to take the sewn-in labels off my daughter's new jeans this morning for example!

I've an Atwood Poltergeist on mine. Useful for most jobs & goes through airport security without a second look - so far anyway.

I carry a Leatherman squirt PS4 and find its got all the tools I'm likely to use on it and the pliers are manly enough for most things, also got a Boker Vox titanium pry bar on my keys for any prying that needs doing! :D

The Leatherman PS4 seems a good bet - any Vic Mini champ users here to share feedback?

I own the following:

-Atwood prybaby
-Leatherman Squirt P4
-Swisstech Until-key
-Leatherman Skeletool CX

Of these four, only the Utili-key earns a permanent spot on my keychain- the others tend to be brought along only occasionally depending on the situation and type of trip.
