it must be able to fit on a key chain, no separate holder or anything

trying to stay under the $50 range

While Foyle's War Seasons 1-5 DVD Boxset attempts to clear his name, his replacement sends Sam back to the transport corps.Foyle's War Seasons 1-5 DVD Boxset

Leatherman Wave, Lifetime warranty. Fits right in your pocket. Quick flip out knife, saw, file etc. Thing is fast. Built strong. I actually use mine too, you never know when you will need a pair of scissors. And I know they are good about warrantying stuff too. I know people that had one a few models back, one thing on it eventually got worn and needed to be replaced, they sent him the newest leatherman.

 

When shut you get these:

When open you get these:

Thing is strong.

I've had both Gerber and Leatherman, Leatherman wins hands down.

The Gerber still works just fine but never felt like my leatherman does, quick, easy, tight.

The gerber just felt loose, like it was made in russia or some shit and could fall apart after heavy use.

As long as you're not using it as much as I was you should be fine with it.
