If you reside in the US, Harbor Freight is a good option to seek for anything related to multi-tools. Their in-house brand Gordon caters to survival and outdoor products that can have anything from an emergency kit to a high-grade metal detector. Having added functionality and the perk of added tools is their USP when compared to the likes of Leatherman or Gerber.
Their latest multitool reiterates that fact, as functionality takes precedence without compromising in the number of tools at your disposal. In fact, the 20-in-1 Multi-Tool comes with useful options like the freedom to go for both pliers or scissors without having to choose one. The regular pliers also double as needle-nose pliers and on the other side there are a pair of scissors, wire stripper, and a window breaker.

You’ll never be left longing for a tool when this stainless-steel multi-tool is around. On the side of the scissors rest the saw, gut hook, screwdriver and bit driver. The other side holds the can opener, crimper, gut hook, three different files (a diamond coated one, wood infused and metal one), and a 2.86 inches long serrated knife. When opened fully, the accessory reveals an eight-inch ruler too. While in closed configuration, the multi-tool measures 4.06 inches in height and 1.53 inches in width. The Total weight of approximately 300 grams (including the packaging, woven polyester pouch and belt clip) is lightweight enough to carry in your pocket.
Other than that, the multi-tool does everything your trusted $200 Leatherman would do. Sure, it does not come with a clear-cut warranty, but still it does the job at a reasonable price of $40. Obviously, this accessory is for casual campers and someone who doesn’t require a top-notch multi-tool every time they undertake a dangerous adventure. If you happen to have a Harbor Freight store nearby, the multitool is up for grabs right now. For those seeking to buy it online, sales will become available by mid-August.
