Review on πŸ”§ Amazon Basics 10-in-1 Electrician's Stripping Multi-Tool: Nylon Sheath Included! by Fred Meeks

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Why not 5 launches? The first product was defective and I received 2 different cases, one of which is below par

Don't get me wrong. For the price, it's a great backup for my Leatherman Sidekick. For a quarter of the price, you can get pretty much anything of decent quality (although the Phillips screwdriver is so flimsy, even for a multi-tool, that it unfortunately doesn't survive serious work). It will be in my car for backup etc. The saw is also very difficult to get out, but I can live with that. You cannot open it with one hand. The first tool I received had a flaw, the saw ground on the screw when opening. so i had to replace it. The odd thing was that the replacement I received had a much better case! I have a serious sheath, same quality if not better, in faux leather, the first was the sheath excuse, like a cheap fabric backdrop with a thin belt loop that lets the multi tool hang from your belt. I hope Revain doesn't use them anymore. So 4 stars overall, would be 5 if these issues were fixed. Great job by Amazon in making something well built at a great price. Make those two small tweaks (always have the best sheath) and better test before shipping and you've created a tool that 99% of people won't tell apart from an expensive leatherworker. It would also be nice if you put your logo on it, too bad it doesn't have a logo, it can serve as a great promotion and I didn't think it was some kind of OEM that you guys just wrapped. Excellent work!

Pros
  • Power and hand tools
Cons
