The people who invented the multitool have just comprehensively reinvented it. Some of Leatherman's beloved older models are cheaper, but the Free P4 packs in 21 tools and, thanks to magnets, can "genuinely be used one-handed." Buy it at Amazon.
3. Timex Marlin ($200)
A classic watch will help your groomsmen stay on schedule and serve them well for many years beyond. The Marlin is a reissue of a hand-wound 1960s model that features a silver face and an embossed calf-leather strap. Buy it at Amazon.
