Another apropos saying would be "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth". I don't think there's a problem with a high school student getting a slightly cheaper, but still good quality tool at this point in his life, especially considering its a gift. In a few years, he'll have several years experience with a multitool and will be better able to decide what he really needs, and can make the best decision then. Hopefully, he'll also have a well paying job.
