Title: Crkt Zillatool
Post by: RF52 on June 06, 2018, 11:32:28 PM: What would be a good price for a zillatool?
Found one new for 60$, but not sure if it is worth it. Need some professional input from you guys

On this side of the "pond" everything is a bit more expensive, and I could not find one on ebay either. I'll think about it a bit more before I make up my mind

Do you remember what it's called?

I like the Zilla Tool and I wouldn't mind getting my hands on another one (I seem to have given just about all of mine away), but I think $60 is pushing it. I don't think I'd go above $40 if I'm honest.

Thanks I'll just keep an eye out and see if it drops in price

Post by: ChopperCharles on May 17, 2019, 07:46:53 PM: I have the big zillatool. Is it worth it? Maybe. It's a passable knife, a passable small set of pliers, and a good bit driver. It has a pocket clip, but it's too long to comfortably carry in a pocket. Pretty much every multi out there is going to have better pliers. Few will have a bigger blade, though. And the quick-opening is nice.

If all you need is a blade, tiny pliers, and a screwdriver then it might work for you. I find mine just sits unused, and I'll probably sell it soon because of that.

Post by: Grant Lamontagne on May 17, 2019, 09:19:47 PM: If and when you make the decision to sell it, please let me know. I gave away my last full sized Zilla and I would love to replace it. I love the Zilla! :D

Post by: ChopperCharles on May 17, 2019, 11:46:53 PM: I put it up for trade in the for sale section. I'd like to trade it for a Gerber Center Drive in usable condition. (Scuffs, dings, wear is fine, but nothing broken). My Zilla Tool is mint with the sheath.

Post by: gerleatherberman on May 18, 2019, 07:53:05 AM: The ZillaTool is quite a cool collector's piece. I have the basic version, but some other members have the one with colored scales.

Here is the one I found NIP on eBay for $50(I am pretty sure that's what I paid).

As far as a user tool, it would be pretty awful. *See ChopperCharle's post.
Hats off to CRKT for having tried something new, but wow is it just an inefficient design. Build quality is great though. :)
