The set comes nicely packaged with both tools visible, and as is to be expected, there is a list of functions on the back. Make sure you look carefully before you open it as the packaging probably won't survive you trying to get the tools out!Def
Grant, if they do sell it individually - would it be worth $10 in your opinion?

There's the Victoribix Classic, Gerber Shard, Gerber Artfact, CRKT KERT, Screwpop tool and Utili-Key off the top of my head, and I would say any or all of them would be a significantly better choice than the Croc.As a collector I have to have it. If I was looking for a user out a gift to someone who would use it, I'd say absolutely not. DefSent from a digital multitool

That's the weird thing about OPTs - they are ususally priced ABOVE some good, conventional MTs. The Piranha is a good example - basically all of LM's keychain tools are cheaper, and have more functions. You can even get a Wingman for about the same as a Piranha.
Is it crazy that I still want one?

Probably. but collectors do not always want the great item, they want the different itemI really wan't the Sidekick, but if I bought it I would not open the box so good old Sidekick would stay in there. I know...I know..... Just buy two and open one set. If I had the money I probably would, but than again if I had $60 I would probably spend it on something else. Ohhhhh..... god I just wish I was rich.
this set was what made me fall in love with Leatherman products.
Because it is, flat out... THE BEST (new) plier based MT you can buy at that price.And, as ALWAYS, my offer stands, I'll trade a Sidekick or Wingman for my Kobalt tool any time. Just say the word.Here's the link to the trade forum post, still open, still available.http://forum.multitool.org/edc-swap-shop/my-kobalt-15-in-1-for-your-wingman/msg672985/#msg672985(Rant deleted to preserve board harmony)
