Title: The cheap MT picture thread,
Post by: Zed on November 29, 2011, 10:20:11 AM: After picking these two up last week i feel ive now found a affordable way to collect other MT's even i can afford :D so ill start with these two and hopefully ill add more soon, please put up info and pics on your cheap MT's :tu:

ill kick off with the Trail outdoor and leisure ii function MT i counted 13 functions though ;) its a very solid Sog based tool blade needed sharpening and the pliers needed oil but a very cool tool for £3.99 nylon sheath rubbish,

next the mini rolson (mini suspension ) MT a nice solid little MT good for pocket carry but i felt a little large for a keychain tool but some dont mind the bulk, scissors are not great for nails but good on paper, wire cutter works well, drivers small so a better electrical tool, cost also £3.99 almost £8 for both MT's, ive got a smaller version of the trail coming so ill add that soon, :tu:

Post by: Chako on November 30, 2011, 12:21:21 PM: Here are a few for you Zed.

A Jobmate set. Nice rubbery surface. A definite clone of the PST though, right down to the nail nick cutouts in the handles. Did you say cheap? This fits the bill nicely.

Zed are you going for the other sizes as well? :D

Part of the cheap and cheerful series. This shape is quite common, particularly from China. Actually not bad for the dough.

(http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r207/Chako_photo/Album%202/SAM_1372small.jpg)

This is my Woody Brigade. You would think wood would appear more often in MT handles. Well it did for a time, but these seem to be harder and harder to find. Well at least around where I live.

(http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r207/Chako_photo/Album%202/SAM_1373small.jpg)

These pocket sized tools are colourful. if I stumble across some that are very cheap, I may buy one of each colour just for kicks.

Tried the True Utility for a bit on my keys but the scissor spring jammed up when closing, so its in a box with other bits and bobs. I had a few of them but gave them away a while ago here The hideously horrendous cheap n nasty multitool give away (http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,31948.0.html) along with the Jack Pyke Crunch clone, it was okay just no where near the quality of the real Crunch. There's more about it here Jack Pyke Crunch Clone (http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,13593.0.html) :tu:

ps. Kutmaster (http://www.kutmaster.com/productline/caterpillar/multipurpose-tools.php) True Utility type but looks a bit more solid also one on EDC KutMaster Minimaster MultiTool (http://www.edcsource.com/KutMaster-Minimaster-MultiTool-3536--Free-US-Shipping,name,109722,auction_id,auction_details)

The plan was to raid it for the screws but it is growing on me.

Next to the micra for size comparison.
Same thickness, about 1mm wider and 2mm longer.

Title: Re: The cheap MT picture thread,
Post by: Lynn LeFey on March 23, 2012, 09:29:19 PM: I have two copies of that little tool posted above, and love them. One is available through Sheffield, model #12010. I bought mine used at a pawn shop for $3. The other one I have was sold as 'Tool Choice', and I bought it from K-Mart for $5. The Sheffield one originally had plastic stick-on scales on the sides, but those unstuck.

Here's a link to the Sheffield version...
http://sheffield-tools.com/products/show/12010 (http://sheffield-tools.com/products/show/12010)

I love that thing, and think this tool is worth $5 any day of the week. At NZ$1.50... steal! Awesome deal there.

These are mine. The one with the swirl pattern is the Sheffield.
