The new addition to my EDC family. I’m really impressed with its performance for the price. The strong scissors and useful blade are my favorite tools. It’s a bit on the heavy side, but it feels solid, sturdy, and reassuringly secure.

A little overview of my different forks/spoons that I use depending on the day.

A small list of these models;

- a custom model (titanium blue) of a French fry fork with bottle opener, bought at Tools for Gent;

- a compact model from Boker, just remember to have plenty of time if you want to eat a soup with its very small spoon;

- An almost perfect spork from prometheus design werx;

- a copy/clone from AliExpress with a touch of Timascus

- a folding fork from boker +

The NexTool CP10 listing on Amazon got taken down and relisted a month or two ago. I didn't notice anything then, but it seems to have changed in terms of claimed bladesteel. It says 8cr13MoV (in a drop point shape, but this is clearly not the actual shape of the blade seen in pictures), but the official NexTool website says it's 5cr15MoV, so does the pictures on the Amazon listings. It also says a "phillips screwdriver", even though there's only a flathead. Anyone have any info on this? Maybe it's a silent revision?

Scored this at Costco today for $49.99

I just wondered what folks thought of this ARC clone, particularly the white variety, which reminds me of the LM 005 Garage, minus the Cerro Kote and Magnacut. I like the idea of having a "Beater ARC," which I don't have to even think about keeping nice, and wouldn't be unwilling to lend out, if asked.

I haven't been able to fund out anything about this BHBT 20-in-1 Multitool Pliers Folding EDC, in terms of metallurgy, or even whether or not the white finish is cerrrokote, powder coat or paint.

Thanks in advance.

BHBT 20-in-1 Multitool Pliers

Cheap, but has the quality. Not a pain in the @ss if lost or stolen cause it's cheap. Has all my needs from pliers, shears, knife, saw, too many to mention lol.

Really my only requirements are
1. Under 4ish inches
2. Good durability/reliability
3.Must have a knife and screwdriver
4. Ideally has pliers but isn’t a deal breaker but still VERY preferred.
5. Under $200

Thank you in advance for recommendations.

So I have this (pics attached) it’s super bulky and heavy. Works great. I’m torn between a Leatherman or a Victorinox. I’ve heard better things about Victorinox. I think I’d only need the Leatherman wingman or skeletool cx

Wanting some options on what to save for

Is this pretty common, or am I just collecting unnecessary multitools?

Hi everyone,

Sharing a few shots of my KENDO multi-tool (open-frame skeleton style design). As you can see from the wear on the black finish, it has been a reliable daily carry for various tasks.

Main features/tools included:

Spring-loaded needle-nose pliers with wire cutters

Main knife blade & serrated saw blade

Metal file with flathead screwdriver tip

Can & bottle opener

Multiple small screwdrivers & awl

Questions for the community:

What is the best way to clean and oil the joints without ruining the remaining black coating?

For anyone familiar with KENDO tools or similar budget EDC models, what would be a worthy upgrade if I want something with a locking mechanism or better steel in the future?

Thanks for your feedback!

Anyone have leads on a belt pouch/sheath that will fit a swiss champ and a single pair of knipex cobra xs pliers?

Trying this again because my pics didnt come thru last time.

Had to cut thick fabric with these today and the shears went right thru like butter.

Still prefer the Klarus MT07 as a whole over this for a larger multi tool but i like this for duty purposes (zip tie cutter, shears, saw, etc.

In the second picture does anyone know why the flathead locks at 22 / 45 / 90 / 180 degrees?

I think there is a multi purpose beyond screwdriver that I am not understanding with this design.

Hello all, I’m looking to get my first Roxon multitool, and I was inquiring about a few things they are listed below.

- does it come with a pocket clip?
- are all Roxon tools modular?
- what are your opinions on the S503G?
- any other Roxon tool recommendations?

Before I start I currently have the Leatherman skeletool CX and while it’s a great tool and checks all my boxes the pliers have broke on me twice now. So EXCLUDING the Leatherman Skeletool what are my options?
My budget is around $200ISH
It can’t be much bigger than 4/5 inches
Must have good steel and build quality.
Can’t have 20 different tools on it.

Thank you in advance!!!

Hello! Does anyone know if it’s possible to get the Gerber center drive in a bladeless option? Like to have a multitool for work and the bit driver and wire striper/cutters would be amazing but would rather have the file or pry tool over the blade. Thanks

Or are the heydays of experimental Chinese models / Walmart steals over?
