The only reason i don't EDC my Kick is that I got a Sideclip instead. But a Kick with a pocketclip is a great (and legal here) multitool.  :tu:

I actually have one on the way to me  :D Ideal for UK legal EDC and as Allan said , great with the optional pocket clip . They do lack the file and awl of the original pst though .

I personally prefer a PST but there's nothing wrong with a Kick.  Go get :)
I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.

The PST has more tools than the Kick, but the Kick has the more modern strength and comfort built into it.

The Kick is more of a replacement for the Sideclip than the PST, but loses the compactness (is that a word  :think:)

I think they're great, and can be picked up pretty cheaply too :tu:
I used to come here a lot.

I would say the kick is a fine tool for  its price point. for around $29 ( or £24.99 on Amazon UK) you can't find a better tool. It looks like a good light duty tool.

I have a Swisstool RS and an Original Supertool, but I've thought about buying a kick as a beater tool.

It is funny Paul I just can not bring myself to get a Kick , I have quite a few PST's  ::) & my favorite MT secondary implements are scissors, awl , file & saw.Not having any of my favorite implements  has meant I probably will not get one.
For the UK though I can see them being a good tool to have in your pocket or car.
Seeing a relative get given a Kick as a Christmas gift a number of years ago sparked my interest in MTs & Leatherman  :D :D :D

i know its more basic than my wave but im hoping to put it in my hydration pack that i carry while MTB'ing as it will replace my wave that was used for that job but never got much action , i will get a PST when one comes up to add to the collection,
