This Veitorld “12-in-1” survival tool kit is once again on sale at Amazon, and for less than you can buy Harbor Freight’s lookalike set for.
I’d never buy this tool kit – it all looks very cheap to me – but it was extremely popular with readers when I posted about a similar sale a year ago.
At the time of this posting, Amazon has the Veitorld set for $32.99, or $19.79 after you “clip” the coupon. Relatively speaking, this seems to be a good price.

Harbor Freight’s Gordom 12pc “emergency survival kit” is $27.99 right now. Even if you snagged a 20% coupon, which I haven’t seen in a while, the Veitorld kit at Amazon is still less expensive by a couple of dollars.
If you look closely, Harbor Freight says that their $28 kit is 15% lower than the same exact Veitorld that’s discussed in this post, but that doesn’t take into account the coupon code that drops the price from $33 to below $20.
Here’s what you get:
- Partially serrated folding knife with locking blade and cutting hook
- Multi-use spork-knife
- Flashlight
- Wire saw
- Multi-functional card
- Emergency blanket
- Paracord survival bracelet with mini compass
- Water bottle clip
- Fishing tools
- Fire starter with bottle opener
- Tactical pen with glass breaker
- Water-resistant storage case with space for additional gear
Like I said, it looks a bit junky to me – I wouldn’t buy it. But, I also can’t recommend alternatives for anywhere close to the same low price. This gives you a lot of cheap tools for less than $20.
A lot of readers bought this kit previously, and so far I haven’t heard any complaints. Amazon’s reviews also seem very positive. Maybe my hesitations are unfounded. I’m still not ready to give it a try, but I thought readers would be interested in the discounted price.
While you’re at it, get some Band-Aids – at the least, they’re good to add into any “survival” or wilderness tool or gear kit, but also because almost everything in the survival tool kit looks sharp and pointy.

Hoo-boy what can I say.
The people that like this have never used it. The ones that have used it give it one star (because zero stars is not an option)
All you’re going to do with junk like this is hurt yourself.
Everyone would be far better off putting together a kit that suits their needs – and it will have a fraction of the parts here.
Yes, you need:
Emergency blanket
Good flashlight
Top quality knife
Decent screwdriver set
Good pliers
Scissors that work
Reflective vest or sash
You don’t need:
Cheak compass
Knife that breaks
Flashlight that isn’t as bright as a candle
Pen/knife/ice pick/hammer combo
Etc
You really just need a few good useful tools – full size and single duty. All that EDC crap does nothing well. Does it help to have a tool with 648 functions and it can’t do any one of those properly?

I think the appeal is that you get a bunch of outdoor tools without having to spend hours researching just some of the types of items for multiple times the price.
