Good price for power tools and hand tools

First, I am a housewife and I don't use a multi tool every day. I was looking for a compact way to carry some essential tools in the car and on vacation for minor repairs. My first choice was the Leatherman Wave+ based on a lot of reviews, but I was skeptical about the usability of "flat" screwdrivers. This tool has a tool that fits standard 1/4 inch bits. I just got this tool so this is a first impression based on minimal testing only. My pet peeve is a tool that is not durable and non-functional. At first glance, this one seems to be both, but as others have said, it's a little heavy: 11.5 oz for the tool itself (Leatherman Wave only weighs 8.5 oz) and 22 oz for the full set, including Tool, bit set, universal head and housing. All tools are accessible from the outside of the tool, no need to open the pliers first, and all tools lock into place for safe use. There's no pocket clip, but the tool is so heavy you probably don't want to carry it in your pocket anyway. I still don't know what steel the knife blades are made of, but they seem relatively sharp. The strength of the blade has yet to be tested. The serrated blade seems very useful for cutting rope etc. There is a standard 1/4" bit holder, but it doesn't have a bit holder so the bit sometimes pops out during use. The bit holder locks both 90 and 180 degrees, giving you two options for removing stuck screws. The bits themselves are very useful and passed my first test of driving a screw into a piece of wood. The bit fitted my screw perfectly without slipping when tightened. The pliers are excellent. The jaws converge very straight at the ends providing a secure surface for gripping small objects and there is NO flex at the joint. The pliers are spring loaded and very comfortable and easy to use. I was able to easily cut through a piece of 12-3 NM-B brown wire, although it took two cuts as the wire cutters aren't wide enough to cut in one go. a tool that fits into a pocket at the front of the scabbard. See image.
