Review on πŸ”§ Baker H9S Stainless Steel HooKouT Multi-Tool, 9.5 Inches by Cathy Khan

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great tool terrible spring

I've been using this tool for over 20 years and I love it...although the spring broke first the last one only lasted 3 months. This tool is used on a charter boat that actively fishes in the summer and lives in salt water and air. The tool lasted many years before the rivet shank rusted. Then I was able to fix the pole and move on. But the spring ss breaks very soon. Now I have three tools with broken springs and one new tool in the package. I can't find a replacement torsion spring anywhere near the size, so I'm going to make my own out of stainless steel spring wire. The composition of the spring or its manufacture must have changed because until recently this failure was never a problem.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • No power
