Before the end of the day my voucher will expire and I haven't decided yet between sidekick (60$) or standard skeletool (85$), anything above these 2 are excluded because of the huge prices. They are so different, it's hard not to want both... but wich one to take now? Sidekick has way more individual tools, but skeletool has a great design and the replaceable bits.
I studied them again and again and again online, never seen one in my hand... but one thing that might be decisive: think of small screws used on PC accessories (mouse, keyboards, headphones...). Are the sidekick's screwdrivers decent for them? Because skeletool + the bit driver kit definitely is a good choice but worth the final price difference? Please give me advices. Thank you!
 
I carry a Skeletool on my keychain. Pliers and blade get the most use but the drivers have come in handy. I have carried really large multitools in the past, don't need them now, not attracted by the intermediate sizes.
 
I love my skeletool with one exception.....the screwdriver bits come out and get lost. Poor design. Inevitably they will fall out and get lost.
 
I suggest the skeletool since of the two multi-tools mentioned I only own that one and I like it.
 
Ooh that one. Yes I saw on youtube someone talking about it and he just squashed that placeholder a bit.
 
My EDC tools are...

- a Leatherman Freestyle inside my waist band (pliers and one-hand open blade; way more comfortable than skeletool on my person or on a keychain).
- a Gerber Artifact on my keychain.
- an Inka pen on my keychain.

I also have a Leatherman Crunch for "extended travels", but definitely not EDC. The Freestyle is probably the FIRST knife / multitool (excluding the 1 oz Gerber Artifact) that I've been able to carry with me religiously. Use all of these tools all the time, tho. That's why they're my EDC. :)
