I carry the Leatherman Wave. It's great because it does what I need it to.
Like /u/ParksVS said, I love it because you don't have to open the entire tool to access the blade(s), saw or file.
The sheath is also very good quality and allows for driver extension storage. You can also store the Wave opened up facing down so it's plier-ready utilizing with the hole in the bottom of the Sheath.
Plus, driver bits and plenty of warranty voiding Wave "hacks".
I suppose if cost is not an issue there's better and more expensive mutlitools out there but hey, it's $53 USD right now.
Alternatively you could get this one: https://smile.amazon.com/Leatherman-Bit-Driver-Extender-Silver/dp/B0022G72BK
Not sure how they compare, but this one is still being made
You can search for "Leatherman bit driver." Amazon has just the bit driver and a kit.
Leatherman Wave/Skeletool/whatever with the bit extension and bit kit?

My friend, this bit extender has made my Wave much more capable than previous. Supposedly there is a ratcheting version as well. Fits just about any standard hex bits (including sockets usually designed for drills)
Extra: Standard Leather pouches have a small area in the elastic sides to stow the bit extender. So no issue retaining it, you just need to find a way to hold onto socket bits.
The leatherman wave has interchangeable bits and an extended bit driver

may i ask the reasoning, honestly? I got the driver set for my wave and its made it almost invaluable.

just be aware that that picture is slightly deceptive. the end where the bit is held is just for storage and not functional or structural. watch this review to see how the bit holder works, it is kindof weird. and you can get this adapter for the leathermans that can hold standard bits
I have been using this as an everyday carry for the past 9 years. I got it in 2009 and carried it with me basically everywhere including a deployment to Afghanistan and daily for 5 years. When I started getting into quads a year ago, I put it in my kit and take it with me everywhere when I fly.

I use the 2 other links to add to the functionality.

I also bought my brother one as a gift for Christmas in 2010, he doesn't use his as much as I have used mine, but still has it and in great shape after 7 years of camping/hiking and like me, he also uses it for quads.
It is a bit expensive, I'm seeing about $120 for the whole set on amazon right now, I think I payed about $65 for my set. But let me tell you, I would no questions asked buy a new one at full price if the one I had breaks or was lost. I have put some abuse on this little tool, and no doubt it has more than payed for itself many times over.
