It is better not to buy it, the product is not what it should be.

I would not recommend this multitool, my opinion is that it is unreliable. It won't last long. Not worth its price. And the declared functionality is not enough for a handy man who likes to tweak something somewhere in his free time.

I recommend to pay attention to Xiaomi K30 pro. Decent device and well made.

P. S. I forgot to add that you can't open a knife with one hand. The hole in the knife for opening the blade with your thumb is non-functional - when closed, it hides behind the body of the multitool, and the knife has to be pulled out of the cartoon.

Pros

Adjustable wrench and spring-loaded pliers.

Cons

Quality. First of all, the disadvantage is the quality. I have a multi-tool from Wix, which has been with me for five years now, I have a Leatherman, I have a couple of Xiaomi ones, such as the K30 pro. The build quality varies somewhere, somewhere it is different, but, in general, the tools are worthy, it’s not scary to work with them, they won’t burst in your hands. These are disposable. The adjustable wrench is not a feature here, but a specific bug. The movable sponge jumps back and forth, it is not rigidly fixed, it is unrealistic to unscrew anything that has become attached to them. Or the sponges will burst, or the auger will fall apart on the axis. I tried to remove the clip and throw it on another screw, licked off the head of the torx screw. The beat was true to size. Plasticine level screws quality. The pliers themselves do not inspire confidence. Very thin and also spring loaded. A spring in pliers is needed, but not when the pliers themselves are as thick as nail scissors. In the closed state, there is a slight play of the legs. There is no backlash in the open state, but I think it's a matter of time. The knife is not fixed in the open state. But the saw is fixed. Why making a liner on a saw and not making it on a knife is a mystery to me. Instead of a saw, it would be nice to stick a file, but this is already a personal preference and does not apply to disadvantages.
