Multi-tool sheaths and holsters: smart and safe storage

How to choose the best multi-tool sheath or multi-tool holster

Not all sheaths are created equal. Looking for something lightweight and flexible? Then a nylon sheath, such as those from Leatherman or Victorinox, will be a great choice. Prefer something with a robust, tactical look? Clip & Carry kydex holsters are dimensionally stable, rock-solid and are easy to attach to your belt. Most important: make sure the sheath is a perfect fit for your multi-tool. There's nothing more frustrating than a wobbly tool or a holster that's a bit too tight. Chosen well, your sheath or holster will last as long as your multi-tool itself.

Smart details make the difference

A sheath should not only be sturdy but also practical. Additional pockets for bits, elastic for a penlight or a clip for vertical or horizontal carrying: these are the details that really make a difference. You should also consider which closure you prefer. Velcro is fast, snaps are sturdy.
