Oh, I'll try! It's just that my computer is having a hard time loading these pages  :poh:

I suppose I should have put a Modem Burner warning at the top huh?   >:D

As each of these arrives and gets tested there will be a lot more photos, so hang on to your undies!

One more.... there were actually two more to go, but one got raised over $2 by shipping so it has been disqualified.

*sigh* I don't know what's worse, my computer struggling or my brain getting fried by the silent soundwaves of my head crying out "WHYYY?" because of the fact that all these exist and are sold (for under $2 nevertheless) as lifesavers.

I need to take a closer look, however. :popcorn:

I really look forward to these tests.  Of course, the best $2-ish tool is a beat-up, yet well made knife one may find. I paid double for an old Imperial USA pocketknife, and it's been the best I've had! Well-made and sharpens easily. One of the blade tips is broken, but I don't mind it at all. Vic Classics are about that used.

I usually scoff at these cheapo gimmicky tools. This may change my opinion or prove my beliefs on these cheapo tools.   

Is that carabiner a knockoff of Leatherman's, or would this company be their supplier?

I'd say it's a knockoff- same with the CRKT stuff and Leatherman/Pocket Tool X Brewzer.   Leatherman's stuff is made in USA (for the most part) so I doubt very much that an Asian company would be selling legitimate Leatherman stuff out the back door.

CRKT stuff is also not likely to be sold out the back door since if they found out about it, that factory would lose a large contract.  Likely these are just being knocked off.

The True Utility stuff is very likely the supplier just selling the same things as I believe True Utility only brands existing tools rather than designing or producing anything of their own.

Agree with Cody. A decent used knife doesn't cost much more and would give better service. Some of these gimcracks may have more utility as a wrench or pry lever, but most appear to be awkward to use, and some are actively dangerous to the user. Looking forward to see if your evaluations prove me wrong.  :D (Don't lose any fingers)

Nice going Def. You got a few pieces I didn't get last year. Interested in seeing how this plays out.  :tu:

Yes, most if not all of it are clones of OEM tools. When I did my thread last year, I  quickly found out that China manufacturers, especially EDC GEAR would copy ideas from crowd source funding, quite often publishing a tool before the actual inventor could get his/hers up off the ground, usually in a thinner cheaper material than what the original inventor was going for.
A little Leatherman information.

I think you missed one.

I present the tactical hair clip!
(Image removed from quote.)

My wife wants one...

Really? Then who are you to deny her a MTHC (multitool hair clip)? Better order her two in case she misplaces one.

:D

Who says I haven't?   :whistle:

I can see it now:

"Hey, honey, come here for a moment."

Wife comes in the room.

"What do you need?"

"Bend over so I can grab your MTHC. Need it to fix what I'm working on."

LOL
Maybe I just needed a trolley coin.  :rofl:

Do you think she would wear them in her hair??? lol

There's a  Craftsman 4-in-1 Screwdriver keychain that's made in the US, but still only a dollar, so it would qualify.

For the sake of being complete, here is the one that was disqualified.  For someone buying this from a different seller it may have been reasonable, so it's worth mentioning.

Contender # DISQUALIFIED

EBay Listing Title:
Pocket Multi-tool Stainless Steel Waist Belt Money Keychain Clip Bottle Opener

Damn... I was quite curious about that... I think I have one on it's way to me... but seeng as China orders take up to 6 months to get to me.. who can tell?  :think:

If I had seen the shipping cost in advance I wouldn't have even bid on it.   But I suppose the seller has to make money somehow.   ::)

Nothing has come in yet so I amused myself by getting a Nite Ize Doohickey yesterday, but I'll talk about that in another thread since it was $4.50 and therefore too expensive to discuss here.

I was thinking of shoving a little OPM in your package, but glad I skipped it, as it seems you've got enough tiny metal bricks to build a house now...

I think for EDC, the tactical hair clip must be supplemented with the Hedgehog wallet hair comb!
