collecting cheapos

do many people collect the economic multitools, ive got a few and they just seem in the way, thought about even trying to get rid of some, didnt know if many people did collect them, the only ones im ever interested in is the pst clones for some reason

There are only a few of us on MT.o who buy the cheap & cheerful stuff. But, at this point, the C & C tools have to be special or very rare. The garden variety cheapo tools don't really sell well.

i dont sell tools, i figured i could trade a lot of them for maybe a SAK or something like that just a thought, back when i first started collecting it was anything and everything now its just leathermans, and any sak i think is cool, and of course original pst clones like the coghlans campers tool, the ones that are the same size as the pst

Cool.

I have a hard time selling stuff as well.

I don't think it would hurt to post in the trade forum with pictures of the tools you want to trade and what you want to trade for.

Pretty much all I bought last year were cheapos and off brand name tools!

Some of them were really nice multitools. If I get a chance, I will post a photo of some of them this eve!

the only one ive even been remotely interested in is the ozark trail 17-in-1 multi tool for 10 bucks at walmart, but ive learned to save my money and not buy the cheapo's so i can maybe find a good deal on a decent tool at flea markets, yard sales, and pawn shops etc.

I have that one. When you consider it has all locking tools and the blades came sharp out of the box, it is a pretty impressive tool for $10.00.

i ended up gifting the tools to my neighbors grandson who collects knives, told him he need a few multitools to add to the collection, he was so happy,

good way to get a youngin excited about MTs. What I've found over the years is its better for me not to buy CnC and save that money for the "higher end" tool, like a Leatherman or SAK. I ended up buying a couple CnC that worked well but once I got my first Wave I realized what I had been missing.

I gifted the CnC to some guys who I believe still use them today.

Good work, Rescue ans Aloha!
