So, what model is for sale here?
does it have locking tools?
Is it worth €20/$18?

MP 600 or 400 I think

Definitely worth the money, if the condition is good

It's a earlier model.  It does not have locking tools.  I'm not a fan of newer models, but I love the older ones.  I would snatch that up in a heart beat,  especially with the addition ons.

Mr Pinchy

Easily worth the money if you like the old robust multitools or if you like blood blisters and pain

How about the non-locking tools?
don't they close easily under pressure?

That is an old MultiPlier, what we often refer to as a "Mr. Pinchy" because the handles come together and can pinch your skin and give you a blood blister.  We even have a merit badge for it.  :D

The MultiPlier is the predecessor to all sliding plier head tools like the MP600 and MP400.  It is long since discontinued, and well worth $22.  Heck, for that price, I'd say clean them out and you can probably get $35-40 if they are in good condition, especially since they seem to have bit sets.  If they are new, but old stock, you could get rid of them quickly at that price.

There's no such thing as "Too pretty to carry".  There's only "Too pretty NOT to carry"...... >:D

Thanks!

Just placed a bid for the value of the sellers asking price.

Now I just wait...

Afraid not, the seller didn't respond to me at all after bidding the asking price.
So after 2 weeks of waiting, I removed my offer (that's just me thinking "up yours").

Happened 2 times to me in the last 2 months... annoying as hell.

They may not be common, but they are hardly rare, so there will be lots of opportunities to obtain one like that.





They are a really neat tool, and a valuable part of multitool history.  And, despite what some folks think, they don't actually pinch you..... every time.   :ahhh

In fact, I have been pinched much more seriously by my OHT than a Multiplier because of that annoying little notch LM put in the handles for no reason.   :twak:

My Charge pinched me twice...

Lost grip on the subject, snapped close and a part of my hand got pinched between the thumb holes from (one of) the blades.

Man that hurts!

Don't believe a word of it - they're evil vicious nasty bitey buggers! I got bitten twice just picking the damn thing up, literally, and then bitten again while trying to wrap it up to ship it on to someone else.  :ahhh :ahhh

Evil little :serverloft:!

I'm not suggesting that it doesn't bite, I'm just saying that it isn't the only one... :P
