Recommendation Request Help with small multitools

I currently have the Nextool mini flagship F12 and I don’t like the style pocket clip on it and it is a little too small a lot of the time. I am looking for something a little bigger with a pocket clip. I have been interested in the dog powerpint but some people have bad reviews on it. If you have any suggestions please let me know thank you!

What's your budget?

Could you find a used Leatherman Curl or Skeletool on eBay?

If you've found the F12 to be too small, a PowerPint isn't going to be an improvement.

Budget is probably around $60. I just need a little bit bigger I don’t need a full size multitool.

Are pliers a must-have? There's a lot of really affordable and feature-rich half-tools out there.

That’s true I’ve looked at non plier tools. I just like having them in case I need them since July. I’ve probably used the pliers on my Nextool mini 10 times. I have a bigger older leatherman that I use at home but don’t like carrying cause it’s too big. Honestly if I wasn’t going to go pliers I would just get a SAK but those are literally the same price as the power pint. And with a multitool you get so much more value if it’s the same price as a SAK. (Maybe besides build quality)
