Best praise vs top criticism for Leatherman Curl
Best Praise
+9 pts“The Curl is my favorite Leatherman but I think the Rebar would be more appropriate for a kid. There's no removable bits to fall out and lose, and I like the way you have to open up the tool to deploy the blade- that extra step of deliberate action is good to keep kids from messing around with the knife absent-mindedly.”

+2 pts“Roxon Flex. I don't know if I got a unicorn or what but I got the frame for only $20 and it has become my favorite multi tool of all time. At that price I couldn't pass it up and bought the implements slowly over time. The quality is higher than my Leatherman Curl which shocked me. It also has extremely satisfying sound while opening and closing so I fidget with it sometimes. If I had to pick a different brand, I would choose Victorinox. Something about their multi tools just feels better than LM.”
