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

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.

Xiaomi HUOHOU GHK-LP91 13 In 1 Multitool

Price: 8.55$

Coupon: BGKX85

UPDATE:

Here's some pics:

I ordered one for my mom.

She's never had a nice multitool before, and she likes the looks of this one.

Total price with shipping to the U.S. was $9.85

EDIT:

I forgot to mention...

According to Banggood reviews, the knife blade locks, which is a good thing for me.

I’m a certified fan of the Xiaomi brand…one of the best brands coming from China that has excellent value-for-money quality. I have their powerbanks, tools, usb fan, usb wifi amplifier, lamps, ceiling light, earphones and some others….my daughter has their phone too…excellent quality.

Thanks! Ordered one, just because the Nextool is too nice to get buggered up on a camping trip.

I added some pics to post #135.

By the way, if you don't like Banggood, or if that sale ends, here's what should be the same multitool on AliExpress:
