Why We Love This Deal
A multitool is the one piece of gear every camper, hiker, and weekend adventurer needs. That’s why this unique take on the classic tool has become so popular on Amazon. Unlike most every other model, it meshes the most-used tools with a carabiner for easy clipping access without extra bulk. Now, you can get one for under $10.
The Funbro Multitool Carabiner is on sale for only $8 right now. It’s the value buy you don’t have to worry about losing, with a design that ensures it’s always ready to help out in a pinch. Yes, it’s a far cry from the likes of Leatherman or Gerber Gear’s multitools, but its 2,000-plus five-star ratings and No. 1 ranking among Amazon’s bestselling models are hard to argue with. And, at this price, they make great gifts for practically any outdoorsy person.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Tools: Bottle opener, carabiner, glass breaker, knife, screwdrivers (philips, slotted)
- Dimensions: 4.5-by-2.2 inches
- Weight: 3.52 ounces
- Materials: Stainless steel
This multitool packs six features into one ultra-compact frame. It includes a sharp folding knife, glass breaker, bottle opener, both a Phillips and slotted screwdriver, and the obvious, a locking carabiner clip that easily goes onto any backpack, your pants’ beltloops, or your keychain. Even with a price this low, it doesn’t skimp on materials: Its solid stainless steel design gives enough heft and durability to ensure longevity and makes it corrosion resistant, while not weighing you down.
The knife uses a liner lock for safety, and has a thumb hole for one-handed opening, too. As for the carabiner, it uses a tightly locking screw latch for good hold, but it’s definitely not rated for load-bearing or climbing purposes. For hanging on and holding gear, it’s more than tough enough to get the job done.
At the end of the day, with its sub-$10 price, you aren’t setting yourself back financially to have a nice spare or backup multitool. You can even leave it in your hiking bag full-time, or in a glove box.

What Buyers Are Saying
Many users called out the fact that it’s handy and sturdy, with one saying it’s “well-made” despite how affordable it is. “I used it for a camping trip to make tinder and it worked very well without dulling much,” they said. Another noted it’s “good for hiking and gripping while using, especially if hands are wet.”
Even if this multitool carabiner were to only last a season or two, for $8, it’s a cheap enough price that you can easily buy another to replace it.
