My local Walmart has the Leatherman Kick on the clearance rack in sporting goods for $9. Yes, that's nine dollars! They had a couple dozen there, so I depleted their inventory by a couple. One for me, one for my truck, one for BOB...YMMV in your area.

BTW - I'm not affiliated with Walmart or Leatherman in any way

My Wal-Mart had them for $17 a week or two ago, and I passed. But for $9, I might just have to pop in. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for the heads up. Not exactly my favorite multi, but would be handy to have a few quality ones as backups in vehicles and BOBs, etc.

AHHH! I was just there and didn't even look! Now I got to get there before they are gone. I like my Gerber multiplier but I have been looking for a chance to try a Leatherman. This would work good.

I picked one up over the weekend for $9. Not bad. For a leatherman it is rather minimalist, but you can't complain about the quality.

I found it next to the fishing gear.

I agree, it's certainly no Wave/Charge. But my wife is picking up 2 of these (backups for the car) as I type this. I figure I can't pass up the $9. I'll probably end up getting a 3rd just for kicks (no pun intended). Plus at this price, they make a decent present for those who may not think about being prepared.

Oh, and I used to use the Gerber line and have since switched once I got a LM New Wave. I found the easy tool accessability, quiet operation, ease of closure (pliers and tools), comfortable grip and quality build to be exceptional. I still have my Gerbers, but as backups, they are no longer EDC.

Couple this with the ETS PSP and a decent pocket shelter like the new stretchy Bivvy/Blanket Doug Ritter mentioned and you have a pretty reasonable cost emergency carry. Worst case, ~$50!

The ones in the counter are regular price. The $9 ones are on the side, like a discount aisle. That's where they were at my local wallys

Confirmed. Same situation here in Rochester, NY. I couldn't immediately find them, but when I asked a blue-vest she pointed me right to them. They had them somewhat out of sight on the bottom of a shelf. I bought 4, I couldn't pass up the $9 price!
