🛠Best Multitool Under $30?? (The Roxon Flash is legit) 

That's awesome! Wonder if he will be at blade show atlanta

@@maxlvledc also, Jacob and I are going to be working together on some knives and will have a joint venture of edc, fillet, and sportsman based designs. I just designed an EDC fixed blade knife that we will be using AEB-L blade steel on and maybe having a 52100, blued version. I will also be making all the kydex pocket sheaths with ulti-clips!

@@tylorlenz8121 Sounds awesome mate. Will be following the progress for sure. Australia will be very interested. Cheers mate.

I'd recommend one Flash and one Phantom then. More Versatility

Youre NOT losing a multitool that costs 300-400$

Yup. In my case, some Goodman w bad intention stole my skeletool. So I consider this option too🙏💪👍🤠

I factor in the possibility that an inferior tool could get me dead.

I left my phone many times before! Some people are just notorious at losing things i guess lol@@brainiac006

it would make the tool much thicker..I actually like it mostly as is.

I love Leatherman, they're my favorite multitool manufacturer. The only company that can compete with a great reputation and longevity is Victorinox. I recently purchased the Curl and like the fact, it has no serrated blade and wood saw. I think the Wave, Curl and Bond are wonderful EDC carries. For my outdoor tasks and chores the Surge and SuperTool 300 are great. There's pros and cons to all multitools

@Richard Sullivan I absolutely agree with you. We are all different and like different stuff, we use them for different applications, and you'll get what suits your needs. I think another factor is the location. Maybe in US make sense to get something that's manufactured there. I'm in UK, and so far didn't have any issues with Leatherman's warranty. But so far I didn't have to use Victorinox warranty for a plier based tool though. I've used it for the SAKs, they refurbished my Handyman for free, for my Forester I've had to pay £10(13$) but I've modified it so much, I didn't expect of that to make it like new again. Take care 👍

Hey I'll take that extra 60 bucks of you're just gonna throw it away. Lol I've owned both name brand and quality modern knock offs... I've had less issues with this. Granted, there's always variables.. that's just life.. idk what you do for a living, how you use your tools.. However, while it is cool that Leatherman has a lifetime warranty.. what good does that do if you have to keep replacing it instead of it just getting the job done? His main point and the main point of modern budget MTs is that a tool that costs 30 bucks is 9/10 compared to the "10/10" (not always the case) that is Leatherman, or Gerber, or whatever. The difference in price is not always worth that 1 point anymore.

WOW, haven't seen the word "Cobber" for a while 👍

@@edwardfletcher7790 Fair Dinkum.? No worries mate.

Skeletonizing also makes it easy to gunk up with mud, dust, grime, etc.

@@AbeDillon That's why God invented lanyards. .

Nah, I'm not sold..only company atm I'd consider a true collab with is Victorinox..only one I trust to do it correctly.

It’s not even that far off. From my experience 8cr is already a tad bit better than 420hc, 9 and 10cr are already WAY better in both edge retention and toughness while having the same sharpenability. I’d say that 5cr is way closer to 420hc than what people think when you use them both. I do agree, however, that I’d like them to use some better steel, but already 9 and 10cr are huge improvements. I see so many Chinese companies doing good treatment on s35vn for under 60$, I don’t see why they couldn’t implement it. That would just put a nail on Leatherman coffin.

The surge for bushcraft? Its an amazing tool, but shares some of the same issues as the signal. Unfortunately it also has even worse ergonomics. I definitely need to make a video about this. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with the Surge, only that I worry especially about losing components AND the short saw.

Good to know!

Yep

Link?

I should..here is the short list 1. Largest implements 2. Good Ergonomics 3. Can open tools with gloves on 4. No loose parts to lose... 5. Good function to weight ratio.

@@maxlvledc thank you a lot! I will for sure give it a try

Stylizing costs $. Harder to mass produce.

very, but I think its not that easy to get out unless your nails are tough.

Knifeless rebar ftw

@@maxlvledc I bought a rebar! Been liking it somewhat except the usual issues with Leatherman screwdriver use and the Wirecutter inserts weren't good straight out of the box

Yep, but does need some spacers

hmm, thats a good point.

Really? Link?

@@maxlvledc did you read my comment correctly?

@@robbowman5857 clearly not lol

Fully serrated for sure..partial? Not that great.

Not this one..that would have been sweet though

That's never going to happen. Knipex is in a whole other stratosphere. What I'm more interested in is a high quality multitool under 5oz with milled jaws. And high quality materials.

Hmm. True true

Ozark trail Multiforce/ Swisstech variant of it on Ali Express are you best options imo.

That one is also very very good

What’s your choice between this one and theSwiss Tech 18 in one you previously reviewed?

@@jeffking2214 swisstech slightly better. But walmart warranty actually matters ...so it's fairly even

i wonder if the flash is the same

5cr15mov

@@maxlvledc yeah when I look it up they say it’s common kitchen knife blade metal. I wonder what the Moro lie blades are made of they seem to stay sharp and take abuse

Sadly, impossible to tell. It's always better to stick with name brands like roxon and nextool because they have more to lose. If your not sure, best to stick with vic and Leatherman.

@@maxlvledc most clone knives and low end "bells and whistles" knives are produced in sheds of yangjiang. Its their way to support the family. This place is the traditional place of chinese practicle knife production where it had a long traditional of producing knives of various uses. Sadly as the "control" over knives increase(understandable as it is pretty much the same in uk and too many people don't understand to not use a knife as a weapon), local people who relied on selling knives fail to have a profit(any knife with acute tip/ lock/ blade length of over 8cm can't be carried in public areas). Many people say that this much conterfeit presence is due to the absence of proper law. However, the real issue is that few good original designs are made so those who rely on making knives can only ask the online sellers what to make. Most of these sellers can only think of selling clone knives(can't blame them, but it is their fault) or stuff that they know "would at least get some sales". Regarding the law aspect, this is pretty tough as these clones can't be easily traced and that some people really isn't aware of a knife coping another as they don't know the real one exists. However, I am very hopeful as things are starting to turn. There is still the problem of selfish sellers trying to infuse impractical ideas regarding knife designs in order to trick gullible fledgling into buying a certain type of impractical product(e.g:convex 5mm thick "survival" knife that is no different to a brick; batoning a nail and showing unharmed blade but the reason for that is the blade is so convex that it is useless; bragging the importance of supersteel and how all budget steels are worthless while charging 30% more for a mora)

@@maxlvledc Thanks. I've avoided so many purchases because of this, but even Americsn made items often get parts from other places

@@thevineclimber Thank you for asking this, it's a really important question..really wish we could find out the ethicality of these companies easier

That's the upgraded version with D2 which is much much better

What are you talking about? This is not that video
