Xiaomi multitools: Xiaomi Nextool 16 in 1 [Xiaomi 13 in 1 see post #135 <$10, pics added]

A major complain I have with a lot of multitools is poor steel choice. Here, 3Cr13Mov isn’t bad for some of the tools but 5Cr15Mov is pretty lame for the knife blade. I’m not asking for super steel or anything. I’d be happy with an 8Cr13Mov blade at this price. Heck, 7Cr17Mov would have been fine. In 2019, 5Cr15Mov just feels south of acceptable here.

Curiously, is there no file?

It has no file. I have the Pro with lock on the knife, no lock on the saw.
Though big scissors, else I’m not very happy with the tools composition.

My Pro has lock on knife and saw.

The Nextool Flagship 16-in-1 Pro Multi-Tool is $30 on Drop.com, and has been for a while.

If the $20 off promotion works on this item, the total will be $10.

For details, see the following post and the thread it is in:

I had two of these, so I decided to mail one to a family member as a stocking stuffer, among other things. Well, apparently USPS confiscated it, as it never made it to him, but all the other items in the package did.

I knew switchblade knives were not permitted by USPS, but multitools??? Come on!

Wow, I've never had USPS confiscate anything, and I have bought tons of knives along with a few multitools.

I don't think they should be doing that as multitools aren't illegal in the states.

Some one may have opened the package and taken the Multitool out. Custom or other federal agents will leave a card in the package saying its been opened.

On another note that’s a great price id jump on this deal if i could.

Did they give you a notice saying that it was confiscated?

I ask because I’ve had USPS lose a few things lately…

Nope, nothing. I just assumed that’s what happened, but maybe someone else took it?

All I know is that when the recipient opened the package, everything else was there, except the multitool.

Legit it sounds like it was stolen. Lodge a complaint with them. When it’s scanned through depots it might be weighted? So maybe you can get insurance on it.

The person you sent it to is a friend?

Amazon had them for around this much last week.

Think of it as a little fringe benefit to the workers.

I lost my first Arc LS to someone in Homeland Security’s X-ray luggage screening operation, by including it in baggage I checked at the Denver airport years ago. I trust it’s still out there protecting the Homeland.

Caved in, and ordered one from Drop. Now the slow boat shuffle.

Thanks for the heads up...

That's a great price!

Starkm32 · 2020-01-03T18:01:57.000Z

YAAAa-way! Just got “dropped”!

Nice quality. Beats my Wave (in price).

Thank you, BLF.

Xiaomi has a new multitool.

It doesn't look quite as nice as the one in the OP, but it's dirt cheap.

Right now it's on sale at Banggood, but it's also available for a little extra money on AliExpress.
