The pricing on these is for the same reason custom tactical gear is so expensive. it’s had crafted, and usually made by one or a small group of people. Also, it takes a lot of work to make these by hand, unlike if a big manufacturer did, b/c they don’t have the automated machinery and mass labor to minimize the cost per item. When you buy something like this, you’re buying a lot more than a piece of gear or equipment, you’re essentially buying a piece of artwork (in a manner of speaking).

I agree these don’t seem all that useful. If you really want to go cheep get a Widgy Pry Tool and a Versadriver Pocket Tool Kit from CountyComm.com. Its a great EDC combo for fixing small things.

I can understand the price, sorta. But the size looks a bit big? The smaller Atwood stuff looks better for a keychain.

Wow, $50? I can get a knockoff multi-tool for less than that…

Anyone have first hand experience with these? It looks a little big for a keychain and a bit pricey as well.

I’ve never gotten too excited about these types of pocket tools. I’ve always thought a full-sized plier tool is a better way to go. Anyone out there have some experience where this type of tool came in handy? I do like the look of this one…
