Please recommend a multi tool under $30

No, the G301 is no EDC at all. Big multi-tool and even bigger sheath. I like mine but it's more something for backpacks or 2-wheel bags. But even with the G301 ... don't expect LM or Vic quality. The G301 is lowest and cheapest I would go. I can be bought on greatwalloutdoor for $37. The fake Gerber from DX and the fake Leatherman Wave both broke. It's wasted money. If you look for something smaller and EDCable. The LM Wingman and LM Sidekick would probably fit better in a EDC role... but they are only light duty, no locking tools, no standard bit set...they do have a removable pocket clip. I personally EDC a LM Juice S2 if the G301 is too big.
