The diverse world of budget multitools

Just had a look around the web, and am amazed at what is out there. Knockoffs of popular tools, some original thinking and the bizarre.

Ask Bob to show you his removable head axe multitool some time!

You find those axe/hammer/ plier tools everywhere. They must sell a lot of them, but who buys them? Its a ridicious tool!

You hit the nail right on the head- they have to be successful, or why would there be so many of them out there.

Just like spam when you think about it!

On my YouTube channel I'm doing a series of full size mt's for under $20. Found this one at Home Depot for $10 with lifetime guarantee.

Hey SwissArmy Zippo, I'm not trying ghost you or anything, but thought i'd relink the reviews I did on those tools here just for cross-reference.

I subbed to your youtube channel, and commented on the Husky vid. My Youtube name is TheMikkiHarris. Just so you know, I consider it cheating if you have to use another MT to open a tool on the MT you're reviewing.

I think we could probably start an entire thread on clones of the PST alone, but the bottom of the bucket of them, that I've found is the High Uinta $6 MT...
