It is fairly ergonomic, and the tools are good for the price point.- HAVE A COPY OF YOUR PRINTED OR DIGITAL INVOICE. Plier issue aside, if the minor annoyance of difficult tool extraction and having to sharpen the blades can be overcome, this tool has a lot to offer. If you need robust pliers, avoid this like the plague. If pliers are not critical to your needs, then I think this is a reasonable tool. The tool has almost no functions that favor left or right handedness, except for the can opener, which is intended to work right-handed. The tool does not have a file of any kind, an omission some may find important. My pair, from normal gripping, already have wiggle in the connection between plier head and body. I wouldn't try turning a rusted bolt with them for fear of snapping the small torx screws holding it together. This means the tool is probably not useful for more than medium duty tasks. There is a great deal of 'flex' in this tool when gripping hard, because of the connection of the plier head to the main body. Hard wire cutters tested on coat hanger worked as expected. The rubber grips make for very comfortable use. The nose comes together with reasonable precision, although the tips are not as fine as many multitools. The plier head is spring loaded with an external spring which can be removed. Those with catches on the spine work fairly well. Tools with nail nicks on the sides of blades have these nicks cut too low to get a hold of. Tools clump to a degree, which almost becomes a benefit, when trying to get any of them out. I tested it with a quick thrust and turn in the metal can, and it quickly reamed a large hole with little effort. When trying to ream wood, the tool folded on me several times. The awl on the tool is more like a chisel edged small knife blade, much too wide for its intended use, in my opinion, but still functional. I extracted the screw with the flathead, and again experienced no problems with the tool folding. In all of this time, I had no problem with the phillips folding on me. I was able to drive a wood screw about an inch into a 2x4 before camming prevented further driving. The larger flathead seems very robust and would most likely make an adequate light pry tool. The three drivers on the tool all have well defined edges, and don't suffer from 'rounding'. The combination bottle opener and can opener functions normally. ![]() It took me 40 seconds to cut into a 2x4 to the depth of the blade, using reasonable pressure. The tool comes with a saw that has a cutting area just under 2” (5cm) which may limit its usefulness. The line would snag on a tooth, and no amount of pulling would cut it. I was unable to get this blade to cut 550 paracord. It also has a sheepsfoot serrated blade, of the same length. ![]() After sharpening, the main blade would cut 550 paracord with a single pass. I ran it through a kitchen sharpener, and afterward it would cut paper, so it seems to be fairly easy to sharpen. The main blade has an overall length of 2 3/8” (6 cm), cutting length of 2” (5 cm). All tools are non-locking with a slip-joint, and fair retention. This is a butterfly design, with all tools accessible when closed, except the plier assembly. Secondary screws holding the plier head assembly in place are #6 torx. The primary screws holding the tool together are #9 Torx. The plier side of the handles have rubber grips. Scales seem to be aluminum, in either uncoated or red anodized. Most of the tool is made of Stainless steel. Overall length with pliers open is 7 ½ inches (19cm) The tool with sheath is 8.6 oz (243 grams). ![]()
