Are the Leatherman brand worth the price premium or is there another
brand that has better quality.

Quality is the over riding factor but price will be considered (no
paying three times the price for something that is only [say] 10% better).
I've been carrying a "Leatherman Squirt" in my hill-walking rucksack for
a couple of years. I've rarely used it, but there's no sign of rust
despite the damp conditions, and it appears very well made. It only has
a 40mm blade, but has wire cutters. I bought it after encountering a
sheep trapped in discarded fence wire in a stream on a mountain. Sheep
are not very bright.

On my second Leatherman Juice c2. First one robbed by airport security, (Would anyone believe it was actually scrapped ?)
Pocket sized so its always with me. Feels fairly indestructible. Knife, screwdrivers, pliers. corkscrew, bottle opener. First one had scissors instead of corkscrew. Probably more useful
