Wow tool - powerful, powerful, full size, many features

WOW tool! Has so many features yet so powerful and big enough to be a full size instrument. The main event is the wrench/pliers. When open, the handles are long enough and the head large enough to apply strong pressure. The pliers of most multi tools are not that big and heavy. There is a spring that opens the pliers after each squeeze. All tools are on the inside when the pliers are open, so nothing gets caught on the outside handle. A bit holder with a hex screwdriver is a great idea. Comes with four dual-tipped hex bits: Phillips #2, #1, #0, slotted 6, 4, 2.5mm and star T15, T10. They cover the most useful cases. Any standard size hex-bodied bits that are at least 2 inches long will work or they will sink completely. "T25 Long Hex Bit with Hex Bit for Drills and Impact Drivers, T25 0.75" Long Torx Bit with 3" Hex Bit Holder/Adaptor, and Double Phillips Hex Bit/Froove Bit that came with a cordless drill. The full size bit holder really expands the uses of this tool The holder locks 180 degrees full extension and 90 degrees right angle extension The lock is very strong Press the lever with the lock symbol to unlock All 3 blades are strong and powerful and the locking mechanism looks very secure. The blades are large in shape as their tips end at an angle. In a survival situation, these blades have enough metal to be sharpened over and over again. The knife has a curved tip and a thickened trailing edge for stick strikes. Sharp awl for making holes in canvas make , canvas, leather for sewing/repair work. Not all multitools have an awl. One edge of the awl is sharp for cutting, which comes in handy when cutting thread, ribbon or small pieces of fabric when using an owl. The owl has an eyelet that can be used as a needle to thread paracord or nylon thread through when sewing. The metal file has a cross pattern. Suitable for smoothing burrs on metal or wood. Can be used to sharpen tools on the fly. The ruler marks (back of the file) are offset by 1-1.5 mm. Useful for measuring screw lengths or hole locations, but not for more detailed work. On the plus side, the markings are engraved, not stamped, so should last a long time. If it really bothers you you can remove the blade and etch the proper marks, maybe on all the inch and centimeter points. The assembly uses Torx screws so it can be disassembled and reassembled. Maybe T8 or T9 will do. The T10 that comes with the kit is a bit big. Includes black case with belt loop and bit case. You can put 1 or 2 more long bits in the pocket. The downside is that it's very heavy. But I prefer a big pen and thick metal tools to lighter, smaller ones. It really can replace an entire toolbox, especially in a survival situation or when renovating your home.
