The frog tool looks like a really useful multi tool to have in your small tool bag, but the thing that surprises me the most is the cost. I suppose it's not that expensive to manufacture a piece of steel with no moving parts, but it is refreshing to see a tool that is reasonably priced, and you wont want to shoot yourself if you lose. The cost of some tools these days almost makes it not worth while to have them. Oh well, such is life.
The frog tool looks like it's worth getting for the price, but I think it looks more like a reindeer.
I think that the frog tool might be one of those tools that works ok for a lot of things, but doesn't work great for any of them. That said, given the price, it might be worthwhile to keep in your car or somewhere where you might not have a full toolkit for emergency repairs.

i'm not too impressed with the frog tool. if i've already got a bag of tools in my car/closet/wherever, this thing isn't gonna be an addition to any of them. My leatherman can do most of what it can, and in a much cleaner, smaller package
