This will do 99% of what I need daily... For $21.
Payday...
And the Rambler is the same, just adds a bottle opener with a (surprisingly good) PH driver. It's just too expensive at regular price.
It's even a magnetized philips driver. The Rambler is great and actually worth it's price imho!
For $11 more... Yea, Id agree, a PH isn't really worth the upgrade. Don't need a bottle opener while at work.
@Twitchy1 @yA3xAKQMbq personally I think a passable flathead and philips head are good components of an EDC - with the rambler you get the best goddamn philips there is without carrying a much bigger SAK
But the biggest improvement - the blade opens away from the key ring, instead of towards it. Don't discount that
For something you carry daily, can you not justify the $11? Most of us here aren't struggling to the point that that money makes any meaningful difference
But my job rarely needs a PH, 1/8" flat is probably 99% of what I need. If I need a PH then it's much more involved and I will grab my tool pouch. It's just unnecessary for my daily carry. Even at home if I need a PH then I take the 12 steps from my front door to my work truck and grab my pouch. So no... To me it's not worth $11. You are correct on $11 not making that much of difference but if I am going to carry an additional item then it's going to be bare minimum necessities so spending $11 on something I really don't want to carry around on the maybe once a month I would use it then I may as well just go buy a couple snickers bars and throw them away. Why spend the money? I'll probably never notice $11 in my account, you are correct. Why don't I just carry around the 3 pound SAK I already own?
@Twitchy1 Fair enough! You've clearly thought through your own needs and settled on what works best.
Just offering advice. Only mentioned money because some people use that logic to cut corners. But a SAK is a SAK, all are a good choice.
