I'll be interested to hear your opinion of that at that price, David. I'm looking for something I can leave in the bike tool roll..

hello,
I've still to receive it as I was offered such for keeps from a Black & Decker rep. I'm still putting the Stanley multi tool through it's paces & that's holding out ok, not bad for the price & as suggested made by Gerber so should do as said on the tin (blade). I not sure if this one on offer has scissors as I only had a quick browse at the package, hand grips look slightly different as does colour other than that same spec. Add another inexpensive brand to the multi tool range.

I have a 'Hilka' brand multi-tool which is identical (except the name stamp) to a Leatherman Super multi-tool. I'm confused slightly about some of the "cheap" brands, as the Hilka is well made, tough as old boots with a saw and pliers that are both very effective...and it was £12 !!!. Could almost be a Leatherman with a different name stamp, I appreciate just a name can add £££'s It lives in the car tool box but I've never been able to find another at the same price and the Hilka home site no longer lists it.

hello,
I agree with you on the "cheap" brands, but you have got to remember there's 'cheap & there's cheap' as you want a tool that does take a lot of punishment & still holds up, keeps an edge etc.. reliability the key word. Nearest Hilka stockist I'm aware of up here is House Of Sher (uk) Ltd Glasgow. Thanks for the share.
