I could never pocket carry a multi-tool. Too big, too heavy, too much movement.
Or a 110 Buck/LB7 Schrade, and I've seen people do that.
I went from an SOG paratool straight to the SOG PowerLock and its even bigger and heavier.
Having said all that, I have a Leatherman Arc under the tree and it has a pocket clip. might try it a few times before removing the clip.
Seems, I'm just a sheath guy, I actually wore a multi-tool on the left and an LB7 on the right for years when I was in the tree cutting business.
