I finally found a lightweight multitool that doesn't sacrifice function for form - and it's only $30

While it's hard to beat a full-size multitool, NexTool's S11 Pro is a lightweight, reliable option for keeping carry weight to a minimum.

Putting aside the name, which makes it sound like a smartphone, the S11 Pro is marketed as a 12-in-1 EDC (everyday carry) multitool aimed at the hiker and camper. The pliers are a good compromise of size and performance, the blade is sharp enough for most tasks and holds an edge well, and the screwdrivers and scissors are well designed and do their job well. As someone who used to be a fanboy of expensive multitools, this company proves that a decent quality tool doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg.
