For tough work I like the Gerber tool or one of them anyway. I have the Super Leatherman as well as the newest and the older Gerber. Also the Schrade. I keep comming back to the original Leatherman for one reason and one reason only. Its about half the weight of the other tools. It won't work as hard but for hunting and fishing I carry the leatherman. I also always carry the Explorer Swiss Army Knife. ALWAYS.
