HF Gordon Multi

I just purchased a Gordon Multitool from Harbor Freight yesterday, and am feeling some buyers remorse. Im usually a Leatherman guy, but got it because Ive heard good things. Its okay, I really like the smaller size because I usually EDC a Surge for work. But I think I should take it back, or sell it off to someone else and just get a Wave if I want a Multi in that size and platform. Any advice?

Side note, one thing that is burning me about the Gordon is the ruler is in tenths of an inch. How many machinists are using this tool?? That might be the dealbreaker for me.

Yeah, buy the Wave.

I don't understand the appeal of all the knockoffs. I guess people haven't heard 'you get what you pay for'

The appeal is that the quality on many of them is getting better, some would say starting to rival Leatherman, and at a fraction of the price.
