Multitool query

[gavsw20]

Am looking for small multitool with the following please:
- Small and light
- Pliers
- Scissors
- Can opener
- Carabiner or loop that can be hooked onto a rucksack

Basically I would like one for when I’m barbel fishing. Happy to spend £50.

Have seen a few Leatherman ones but they either don’t have the can opener or don’t have a way to attach to a rucksack.

Seems obvious, too basic?

Edit - apologies, no scissors.

Yup. Or Vic Tinker Deluxe which also has scissors. £45

If you can get away with a locking blade and ten quid more, I'd go Hercules.

Barbel fishing eh, I haven't been for a few years but I loved seeing that tip pull round and striking into a solid lump, I fished the Bristol Avon and my biggest was 13.10 but those days are gone with the otters being reintroduced.

I quite fancy having a go on the River Wye when the season starts again

I have one of those, but the scissors are not up to cutting the line, (especially braid), needed for Barbel fishing; so I carry a separate pair of braid scissors for all my Barbel and Pike fishing. On a bungee style chord they clip to a rucksack, though I don't use one of those either as I prefer a waist belt pack for greater manoeuvrability.

Thanks for the links guys. After spending hours looking at Leathermen and Gerber it seams I have forgotten the most obvious brand which is the most reasonable priced too.

Thanks again.

I can’t help with the original query I’m afraid, but I do love a dangle for a barbel and living literally five minutes cycle ride from Kickles Farm/Adams Mill on the Ouse (where several record barbel were caught in the past), I’ve caught a couple of nice ones. The venue isn’t a patch on what it was but decent catches of both barbel and chub are still possible. The next meadow downstream from Kickles regularly gives up chub to 6/7lbs and perch to 5 and the best thing is that it’s free fishing.

Just one of the many reasons I’m struggling to decide where to move when I retire...

Thanks to all who posted, I went with a Gerber Suspension NXT in the end, £32 from Amazon with all the tools I required.

Typical the weather is nicer now but no fishing can be done!
