Best Praise

I'm starting to spam this one everywhere, but please consider Daicamping DL30. It's build like a tank, basically a Leatherman Surge 1:1 clone with a bit worse steel but better scissors. Perfect for seldom use but also super sturdy and has a lot of good tools.

Yeah it looks like this is a better steel on this particular Surge clone. The Daicamping DL30, which is the same clone multitool, is anywhere from $30-40 on AliExpress.. but the steel used for the knife is 7Cr17. And the $48 Swiss Tech 37-in-1 uses 8Cr13MOV. And the $50 Rocktol clone on Amazon uses 7Cr17 too. So it looks like this Multper has a better steel compared to these few comparisons.
