Utili-Key

[CanadianLMfan]

How is it? Should I get one for $11.99?

[Grant Lamontagne]

I would, but then I like the Utili-key. It's one of Swiss Tech's older, good designs and there was no discernible loss of quality when manufacturing was moved to China.

Of course, if you bought them on eBay you could probably get three of them for $12.  There's a healthy second hand market for things like Utili-keys, Classics and Micras thanks to the TSA.

The cheapest I could find was $5.95...

I carried one for a few months. It broke at the rivet. I'm not sure exactly how it happened, I just reached into my pocket one day and it was in two pieces (one of which had an exposed knife blade). Other than that, I thought it worked ok considering its very small size and weight. The knife made it awkward to use the bottle opener and screwdriver.

I carried one before I got hooked on the Vic rambler .

it is a ok little tool

I broke two of them I won't be trying a 3rd the Phillips kinda explodes under stress.

I've had one on my keys for many years, and it's got me out of a fix several times

Now I need a Rambler?

I use my Utili-key often and there is always one on my keyring. It's great as a letter / box / package opener. I've also found the Phillips quite handy on occasion. I like it because the serrated blade lasts a long time before it is dull and needs to be replaced. You can find them for $5-10 on eBay.

Yes, you need a Rambler too. Again, on eBay for around $20. Worth its weight in gold!

You carry a Rambler and a Utili-Key? The Rambler is only sold by one guy and he has all the different scales.

Yes, I carry and use both. The Utili-Key blade saves me from having to use my Rambler blade for everything. The Phillips is a little redundant but that doesn't bother me.

Doesn't the blade cut you while trying to use the screwdriver? I can see it happening.

Not if you don't grip it too tight. It's sharp but not that sharp...

Is that good or bad?

Unless a knife is ungodly sharp or you're putting a ton of effort in to it, it's difficult to cut yourself simply by pressing on the blade.  Blades generally need to slide along a surface to cut.

[sawman]

I'm trying to give you a little push because I find mine so useful. It cuts well thru various materials and will not cut your fingers off when you use the other features. For the little expense up front, just go for it and then let me know what you think of it.

Too late, bought the Rebar, Micra, and Skeletool.

I thought you liked the Rebar. The website I bought the Skeletool from messed up and made it $20 cheaper. It was still $39.99 though.

[JAfromMn]

The leatherman micra kicks the utilkeys ass in every way but easy of carry.

good choice

Ya, you made a good buy there. Sorry for the clubbing. I love my Rebar and the Skeletool is awesome too

How often in life do you get to say that?

All three of the tools came in today.
Here are my thoughts:
Rebar: lightweight for full sized MT, awesome looking, nice locks, file scratches against handle, has horrible sheath, overall it's awesome
Micra: lightweight, lots of functions, nice scissors
Skeletool: why does it come with the sheath?, nice carabiner and clip, nice blade,
