$25 v $120: Can This Budget Multitool Replace a Leatherman?

#multitool #leatherman #edc This multitool, costing £20 in the UK ($25) has become my gateway drug to multitools… but is it really worth carrying in the city, or should you save up for a Leatherman? In this video I review the SHALL 18-in-1 multitool and test whether it makes sense for urban everyday carry (EDC). From first impressions and build quality to real-life tests of the pliers, blades, scissors and even the universal socket, I’ll show you what this budget tool can actually do. We’ll also talk about whether multitools are still relevant for EDC in the city, and whether it’s worth spending more on a premium option like a Leatherman Wave or Victorinox SwissTool. 👉 If you want to see all the gear I use and recommend, check out my Kit.co page here: https://www.kit.co/jimbobsedc 👉 Grab the SHALL multitool here: https://amzn.to/4oeFUR2 (affiliate link) 📌 Chapters 0:00 Welcome to Jimbob’s EDC 0:39 Introduction 1:19 The SHALL 18-in-1 1:39 18 functions! 3:01 Do multitools make sense for urban EDC? 3:41 Join the debate - budget vs premium multitools 3:53 My thoughts 4:36 Jimbob's verdict 5:08 Wrap up Check out my kits and gear at: 🇬🇧 https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/wandojames 🇺🇸 https://www.amazon.com/shop/wandojames Amazon links are affiliate links where I may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you.
