It's quite the challenge, I don't want to buy something that is regularly under $20, I'm going for a home run of a deal that would be beyond impressive for $20

The PS4 came in, I just haven't had time to take the photos that I want.  I will do a comparison of all 3 current contenders tomorrow and get some great pics!

Whoa man has it been a busy week for me already!  My sincerest apologies for leaving the thread dead for so many days.  I have been in and out of Downtown Austin and the surrounding area for meetings and job interviews, I simply haven't had time to sit down and post much! 

I got two new interesting contenders this week, the aforementioned Squirt PS4 that I got used from a guy on Facebook for $15 shipped, and what I'm certain is a Wenger Cyclist for an even $20 at a pawn shop.  I've taken some pics to compare the PS4 with the P4, and I will take some better pics of the Cyclist as time allows this week. 

The scales are a little, warped?  I think there's just dirt under them or something.  All the tools are in spectacular condition, and the knife blade is in awesome shape with what appears to be a factory edge! The toothpick is gone though.


Here is a side by side of the Squirts.




I personally like the P4 better, but I have to admit the scissors are really nice to have and really complete the package on the PS4.

That's not a Cyclist though. A Cyclist is a 3 layered SAK, knife/nailfile, wrench/phillips, openers.

This is a Mountain Bike or Biker 37.

Just got my leatherman ps4 in the mail. Got it off eBay for 15.50 with free shipping. I will carry it this weekend and report back Sunday night. I have a squirt without scissors ✂, so this will be a nice addition.

You could always grab the Irwin vise grips multitool from lowes, it's 19.98. They look like a horrible idea, but actually function pretty well.

The last prize arrived yesterday!  This one's a sweet Vic Silvertech huntsman.  It's in really good shape, just a bit gunky from pocket carry and being used to cut tape.  Toothpick and tweezers are present, but the pin is missing.  All in all, it's an awesome knife, scored for just under $20 shipped to my door!

Sooooo do we have a winner?  I'm not sure!

Here's the list of contenders I bought for this challenge:

Vic Executive
LM Squirt P4
LM Squirt PS4
Wenger Mountain Bike
Victorinox Silver Tech Huntsman

As far as functionality goes, it's a real toss up.  The Mountain bike has the most function, but it's also the heaviest and for me, it wouldn't make it into my regular rotation simply because half the tool is dedicated to mountain biking, the rest I can get in a SAK that's half the size.  I guess the P4 and PS4 come next, as they have pliers, drivers, and blades, but the PS4 wins out with the scissors.  Purely on nostalgia and form I'd pick the P4.  BUT, since buying the Vic Executive the for the first contender, I've bought one of my own and carried it every day and I love it.  It even ousted my minichamp out of my pocket because it sits better next to my wallet.  Form wins out again, and since it has the blades, scissors, nailfile, and tweezers, it sees more regular use than my Leatherman does. 

The Huntsman was the best value I think, seeing as a Silvertech goes for twice the price new and it's pretty sweet.  The only thing is, I've never liked the Huntsman pattern all that much, because I don't use the saw on a SAK enough to warrant the extra bulk.  I choose my explorer if I want a 4 layer SAK. 

My favorite on this list is clearly the Executive, followed by the P4.  What are your opinions?

No worries, it was a ton of fun!

As for the fate of the contenders, that's up to Grant as it was his cash that paid for them.  (I'm kinda partial to the blue P4... :D)

I'm still not sure as to which one wins, but I'm inclined to say the Wenger, because it's both an oddball and it appears that it's at least double the price I paid for it.  If there are no objections, we can make it official!

What, your not going to do anything with them? These tools at least deserve an arbitrary test before you declare a winner, to make sure they all work and... stuff...

Also, should that huntsman suddenly break (or not) I'll happily take it off your hands... I'll even let you keep the scales

As much as I would love to do a test for each, I'm pretty sure that would take a good while!  I am a tad curious as to how useful the Wenger would be, I actually found myself needing a tool to remove a chain from a motor on a Towel folder at work, and the Wenger has one. 

Yea, those silver tech scales are  :drool:  I want a set for my explorer.   :gimme:

Well folks, the time has come to see if we can resell these tools, and what they go for.  I have listed them all on Ebay, at modest starting prices.  I'm a tad late in linking them here, so please forgive me.  One tool has already sold, the Wenger Mountain Bike, and it went for $26. 

Here are the links so you all can follow the progress.
