    And the Rambler is the same, just adds a bottle opener with a (surprisingly good) PH driver. It’s just too expensive at regular price.

      It’s even a magnetized philips driver. The Rambler is great and actually worth it’s price imho!

      For $11 more… Yea, Id agree, a PH isn’t really worth the upgrade. Don’t need a bottle opener while at work.

      • @Twitchy1 @yA3xAKQMbq personally I think a passable flathead and philips head are good components of an EDC - with the rambler you get the best goddamn philips there is without carrying a much bigger SAK

        But the biggest improvement - the blade opens away from the key ring, instead of towards it. Don’t discount that

        For something you carry daily, can you not justify the $11? Most of us here aren’t struggling to the point that that money makes any meaningful difference

          But my job rarely needs a PH, 1/8" flat is probably 99% of what I need. If I need a PH then it’s much more involved and I will grab my tool pouch. It’s just unnecessary for my daily carry. Even at home if I need a PH then I take the 12 steps from my front door to my work truck and grab my pouch. So no… To me it’s not worth $11. You are correct on $11 not making that much of difference but if I am going to carry an additional item then it’s going to be bare minimum necessities so spending $11 on something I really don’t want to carry around on the maybe once a month I would use it then I may as well just go buy a couple snickers bars and throw them away. Why spend the money? I’ll probably never notice $11 in my account, you are correct. Why don’t I just carry around the 3 pound SAK I already own?
