What do you get the person who has everything? Why not…everything?! The Leatherman Blast is the go-to multitool for the camper, hiker, and active traveler. The arsenal of 17 tools—including needle-nose and regular pliers, wire cutters, file, saw, scissors, Philips- and flat-head screwdrivers, a bottle and can opener, wire strippers, and, for the accessory-prone, a small bit driver with ten screw bits (sold separately)—will handle every trail- and road-side scenario. More astoundingly, the entire package weighs only 6.9 ounces and shrinks to a mere four inches when closed. The all-stainless-steel construction promises years of reliable performance, and a 25-year warranty will assure that this gift keeps on giving. And, lest you think the recipient of your gearly munificence needs even more tools, Leatherman.com has a highly useful tool comparison feature that'll help you narrow down the wide variety of über-tool options.
$72; www.leatherman.com
