Can someone recommend a good quality mini multi tool ?

My Nextool has just broken. ( part of scissors broke off )
It’s been great but wasn’t very expensive. Very small so always in jeans pocket and always using the scissors and blade .

Another Nextool Mini, the previous having lasted so well and been so useful?

PS Get the next one in black. It’s much more tac tec, as the glint won’t give you away in Tesco’s car park.

Never said it lasted well. Think I’ve had it barely a year .
 
A Gerber (lifetime warranty)
A Leatherman (25 yrs warranty)

Both after extensive use ,may go wrong ?(usually the spring lock mechanism)

The warranties on both are excellent.
My Gerber at work usually last 12-24 months at work .
I send a photo to the Gerber importers of fault and they send a new tool.:thumb2
 
I've got a Gerber one but it went a bit loose and has limited use now, I wouldn't buy another of the same brand. I think it struggled to cope with a bit of torque through the small joints.
Lost the proof of purchase a while back so no warranty I imagine
 
I've had a Leatherman Micra for some time and it's still going strong.

With Gerber warranty claim,never shown the receipt.
Gerber importers may have changed stance?

Update on that, I emailed the UK agent for Gerber and said I'd lost the receipt, it was about 10 years old and broken. They've asked which one I want as a replacement and don't want the old one back, just photos of the issue. Good service.
 
One problem with these multitools...

...where's the corkscrew?
