Good ol' Gerber has served me well for 14 plus years now. I have 3 or 4 of them running around here somewhere and always feel like I need 2 or 3 more. I've always like their knives for the price and the tool is very reasonably priced in my eyes.
Pro's: One hand open, blunt or needle nose plier models, new versions have a sort of lock on the bottom outside of the handles for the tools when extended. Decent tool selection on current models -though I prefer the older tools - also works great for food if you ain't picky about where it's been before thatExcellent warrenty and relacement service.
Cons: Blades don't hold edges long if you use the tool as a tool, palm pinches suck and will happen if the pliers slip. The new needle nose version isn't exactly stout and will twist the frame a bit if you torque on them too hard (I mean like you would your craftsman pliers)..
All said and told I've tried leatherman, SOG and Victorinox over the years. There maybe a newer couple of models but I never worry about tool snag when I have the pliers out and I've beat the hell out of all of mine and they are still crankin..
