I love it though. - Multitools and Accessories

Well I want to say that if you are considering this tool you should do it. It is excellent. This tool has pretty much everything I used on my Swiss Champ plus a quality pair of pliers and a full set of screwdrivers if you order the "bit set". It's generally very well built and very well thought out. Crimps and a wire stripper were something my champion didn't have. I love this instrument very much. That's where the "but" comes in, she's tough, very tough. After a week of work, he was always a little loose. If you have weak wrists or hands, this tool may not be for you. I'm 215 and have a build like Mr. T. I'm not a pushover and was definitely let down by the stiffness at first. Basically, I think this is a problem because it prohibits one-handed operation. But after a week of absolutely constant work, the joints have loosened up enough that I can sometimes open them with one hand. I was aware of how much of a problem this would be for anyone who might be a little frail. That minor issue aside, this is a great tool and I can see that I've been using this thing for decades.

Pros
  • Consistent results in testing
Cons
  • Sparse instructions
