Best Multi-Use Tools for your Bug-Out Bag?

Been noticing a lot of chatter about bug-out bags and thought this would be the perfect time to bring up multi-use tools. These gems save on weight and space, but there’s a ton out there. My personal favorite is the Leatherman Wave – it's reliable and packed with features. But I'm curious, what other multi-use tools are you guys stashing in your B.O.Bs? Any particular brand or model you swear by?
 
Leatherman Wave is a solid choice, no doubt. But don't overlook the Swiss Army Knife - Huntsman model. Provides plenty of functionality and it's damn near indestructible. Used it for geocaching adventures and it hasn't failed me yet. What about smaller tools, y'all got any favorites for compact and lightweight options?

Leatherman Wave sure has its merits, Linda, and I've got one tucked away in my bag too. But I've also gotten quite fond of the SOG PowerLock EOD. With its gear-driven compound leverage system, it's a handy little beast when you need some extra grip. Anyone else had success with the PowerLock?
