This tool is nice, cheap, but horribly broken. Mine came with a missing screw, and broke the next day. I guess you get what you pay for but this was really, really, bad. It's ok for emergencies, but sucks as primary. Overall, I can barely, but I still do recommend this product. It's meh by my standards.

You have a multi-tool that was improperly assembled, promptly broke, and you recommend it, though barely?

I realize budgets matter, but wouldn't you rather save some money and buy something that lasts more than a day? I bought some multi-tools at Sears that were less than $10 each and they have lasted years.

Ozark Trails products are low cost Walmart-equivalent products and are generally of poor quality. I can see why you recommend them. Who doesn't want a low grade multi-tool missing parts?

He claims to be 17 so that could explain the troll like behavior.

Yep, that would explain some things.

Nice for your daughter to have a good friend!

Buddy is my dad's new pup. My folks' male Britt passed away over a year ago and they felt the tug for a new puppy. They were worried about their 13 yr old female Britt being a real bitch with the puppy but they have been best friends.

Roo has Winter. She says that Winnie is not my dog so I guess Winnie is her dog.

No, he freely admits he is new at this and is 17 years old. We have some other teenagers on the forum, as well as some other newbies from time to time, so there is no reason not to include him.

Our typical troll is someone who shows up and is either trying to sell something, or claims to be some sort of survivalist stud and a hero in his own mind. Derp has not done either of those things.

On the other hand as a newbie, he is going to make some mistakes, e.g. recommending a multi-tool that broke. Any of us could make a mistake and most of us think someone else has made a mistake in recommending something even if we think our own decisions are terrific.

I'm going to disagree with something I think is a bad idea, but I don't see any reason to call him a troll, or otherwise chase him away just because of a poor recommendation. I think we have already helped him with his BOB and he is trying to participate in a constructive way.

Derp: Let me again welcome you to the forum.

The Leatherman "Wave" is probably my favorite multi-tool. The price is reasonable. You can usually find them for around $30.00 and the quality is excellent. It's a good investment.

Plus one on the wave, i have a few and its the only mt ill buy, i use them often n they hold up very well..

I have two of these. One I purchased and one my company gave to me. They are great tools but I really would like to know where to find one for $30

 

[Sentry18]

Used Leatherman tools can be found on eBay or other online rummage sites for reasonable prices. I picked up a used Wave off of Craigslist for $40 last fall and it came with a leather holster. I actually prefer the Leatherman OHT to the Wave.

 

[Tirediron]

I have a Leatherman Surge (more than 1 ) they are really handy, I did manage to break the pliers, but I mailed that unit to leatherman and they sent me a new one. (Don't apply side torque to the pliers they don't like it) the surge has several multi option tools, you can get replacable screwdriver bits and the saw holder can also hold a file. The first Surge I received as a gift, it came with a selection of screwdriver bits. (I think they are about $100.00 new here)

Ooops! My bad. I meant the Leatherman Sidekick. I don't like scissors on multi-tools.

 

[LincTex]

I have a LeatherMan Wave and I like it for some things. I see them for about $40 used, but in excellent shape.

These are my extended Right Hand: the Gerber 600

I can NOT accurately speculate how many times these things have saved my Butt!!
WAAAY more than I can count!!
