Looking to replace a lost Leatherman. I saw that Brooks Range used to make a backcountry ski multi-tool, but it is no longer available. I'm after something that has pliers, knife, and am interested in the potential for driving bits (phillips, trax, posi, etc). Ability to do binding repair would be nice, so that I don't end up with a separate bit driving tool like
this
. Something like the
Leatherman Skeletool
seems to fit the bill. Just wondering if anyone has other more current suggestions than what was on this thread...thanks! B

Those BD Binding Buddy/pocket driver things are pretty handy. I have the
Toko version
which comes with slightly different bits, but it has saved mine and others' bacon several times when bindings are not adjusted to proper BSL, or someone (me) forgot to ensure machine screws were tight in inserts on the first tour of the season, or release value needs to be adjusted. Between #3 Pozi, 4mm hex, T20 Torx and 6mm flathead I have all my screws covered.
More importantly, bring long-ass Voile straps and duct tape.

A problem with some bit drivers is that they need a longer extension to reach the screws of your heelpiece, since this gets in the way. Not a common failure mode, but potentially problematic.
