   I saw this set for the first time last week, but I passed on it. I ended up buying a Remington set that had a nice folder and a smaller slip joint knife in it. The scales were a nice dark green bone and I thought they looked great! The SOG knife did not do anything for me, and the tool was too small. Would love to see a full sized version of it. I may still snag one if I still have some spare cash after Christmas!

There was a full sized version called the Toolclip but it has been discontinued for years.  It was SOG's first multitool design and still stands as one of the best tools available as far as I'm concerned.

I finally saw the set at a Walmart near my work. I have not handled one mini Toolclip yet, but the finish looked too crude for my liking. Probably wait for a clearance sale or something.

I used the file for some prying today and it held up terrifically. The knife is pretty good and the pliers VERY solid. Super nice tool so far!

I'd love to get one of those, but they ask a lot for them on ebay.

They are cheap compared with the similar type Al Mar 4x4.

Oh I looked at those too!

My local Academy Sports had Reactors marked down to around $30 or so (I can't remember the exact price, but it was significantly less than I paid in March) so I would advise anyone interested in a nice little tool to go take advantage while the deal lasts

I agree - the Reactor is not a $50 tool. I think that $30 to $40 at most is about right for what you get. Not that the Reactor isn't a good tool, I like it a lot, but it's not a $50 tool IMHO

I would pay as much for a Reactor as I would for a Skeletool.  The build quiality may not be quite as good as the Skeletool, but I find the Skeletool to be far too bulky for what it is.  I have found myself carrying the Freestyle more often than the Skeletool for that reason, but since it is just pliers and a knife, I need to pair it with a SAK to get screwdrivers, which I almost always need for one reason or another.  Then, since the knife is duplicated the Freestyle then just becomes a set of pliers.... and if that was the case then I should just get myself a decent set of pliers and not waste time with Leatherman at all.

The Reactor solves that problem- it has all the function of the Skeletool (more in fact since it can take regular screwdriver bits) but in the size and weight class of the Freestyle.  Yeah, the Reactor isn't perfect, and getting the bottle opener out kind of sucks, but it functions a lot better than the bottle opener they didn't put on the Freestyle....   :pok:

Can anyone else confirm this price at their stores?   I don't make it to Walmart often, but this would make it worth the trip!

It would indeed.  If anyone picks up an extra I'd happily take one (or more!) for that price!

Today the angels sang.  I visited 1 more Wal-Mart and finally found the SOG gift set and even better.... it rang up at $7.00 so I got it with tax, out the door, for $7.42. :woohoo:

The only question now is should I go back for the rest of them (there were 12 - 15 or so) and buy them up for trading fodder?  That was a rhetorical question, I already know the answer.  ;) :D

These are awesome prices. They were selling them for 19.98 in my Walmart. I know these were Christmas specials so you probably see more markdowns at this time.

At $7 is clean them out for sure!

I'd happily pay double that for a few sets if you do.

I picked up a few more of the micro toolclip gift sets and also some Buck, CRKT, and Kershaw gift sets.  I also took more than a handful of the Ozark Trail knives that were reduced to $1.00 a piece.  The department manager just happened to be standing there when I got there and he was saying to an associate, "I wish I could get get rid of all of this Christmas stuff so I could reuse the space and wouldn't have to account for it."  I said, "I'll have the lot, and don't skimp on the pâté." :rofl: 

I didn't clear them out entirely as I left behind the Camillus, Mossy Oak, Remington, and Gerber sets, as well as some other Buck sets that hadn't been reduced yet, but he told me I could come back on Friday and he would lower the rest of it.
