WETOLSMultitool Needle Nose Pliers,21-in-1 Stainless Steel Multi Tool Pocket Knife with Screwdriver Sleeve,Self-locking Survival Knife with EDC Pouch-Great for Outdoor, Simple Repair, Camping, Hiking

So this is an excellent multi-tool for alot of reasons. It was my first pick when I was looking for a daily driver. I will first write a mini review on every individual tool, then I will write a more macroscopic review.Starting with the Pliers. The pliers are quite good. They are very thick, I have never been worried about them failing. I will also say that they do not have any exposed spring, and in the 8 months I have owned these pliers, whatever mechanism that is used to keep the jaws open has not weakened even a bit. The teeth are quite solid, and have not received any noticeable damage upon study. Full disclaimer, I have used the pliers the least out of all the tools except the awl. The size at the very tip of the pliers is 35mm. These pliers are not quite as needle nose as one may desire, but when clenched the nose is 2.7x5.3mm rectangle, which is pretty small. The wire-cutters are, in my opinion, the weakest part of the tool as a whole, but will still suffice for a vast majority of tasks. They come quite sharp, and the tool will never shear apart. The jaws of this tool are firmly in place, so if your wire refuses to cut, you will not damage the tool as a whole, only the sharpness of the wire cutters. Though they come sharp, I was surprised how quickly they dulled. A 14 gauge steel wire put a small dent in them. Admittedly that was a job for dedicated pliers, but it should be noted that 14 gauge steel is too much. The cutters still work great, I just don't use them for heavy gauge wire anymore.The legs of the tool rotate extremely well, it takes no great effort to move them, but it isn't so little that gravity will ever do it.The knife:The knife is a clip point blade of pretty decent sharpness. There is a hole near the base both to grip and pull out the knife, and to alleviate weight. This hole is clearly stamped and unfinished/unsanded. This is a general feature about this knife that I talk about later, but I am okay with it. The knife is made out of some form of high carbon steel. It does rust, and it rusts faster than the rest of the tool. This is not a huge issue for me, because I take care of my tools. The knife is sharpened easily enough, and isn't high maintenance, but it isn't stainless steel either. Every couple of months (unless you work in a high-caustic environment) give the whole tool a once over and you'll be fine.Screwdriver:The screwdriver is excellent, and I really mean that. It is my most used tool. It takes standard size screwdriver bits, but it comes with 8 of its own double sided bits. The bits stay in via a magnet at the base of the screwdriver, and it is strong enough not to let the bit fall out even when shaking it. I love the fact that you can rotate the screwdriver at a 90 or 180 angle from the rest of the tool, and it is implemented in the best way by locking it in with their new fancy locking system (which is awesome btw, super comfortable and one handed, do it with your eyes closed type system). Two items to note. The screwdriver does not let you keep a double sided bit installed when the tool is closed. A normal bit will work, but not the double sided ones that it comes with. All of the bits that come with it have their type and size printed on the side of that head. All the bits that come with it I have found to be pretty hard, but I have not stress tested them. The bits that come are a T10 (the tool takes this type for disassembly), T15, Flathead 2.5 & 4 & 6, Philips 0 & 1 & 2. The heads have their own little removable compartment on the tool case, which does its job well.File/Ruler:The file does a good job, nothing to complain about. Ruler is excellent, but I would have preferred a black ink as opposed to a tan ink, as it is on a silvery metal, so it can be hard to see in all but perfect lighting. Measuring with a caliper, I can say that the markings on the ruler are (at least to my eye), accurate up to 0.1 mm.Can Opener:Does its job well, is sharp, no complaints.Bottle Opener:My most used bottle opener, is quite good. It would take effort to fail a bottle opener, but it is done well.Its tip is a Flathead screwdriver, from what I can tell it is size 5. It eliminates the need for the double sided flathead bit that the knife comes with basically completely. I would have preferred a different double sided bit, but eh, no biggie.Awl:This is the first time I have ever opened the awl. I don't know what this is for. Uh, it looks fine I guess. It is often said that the least important part of a multitool is the awl... This is true. It has a stamped hole in it, not sure if that is important. The edge of that stamp is sharp, but easily sanded.Wood Saw:Its a wood saw on a multitool, if you need more that dowel rods cut, go get a bigger saw. I will say it is ight for sharpness out of the box. Obviously you wouldn't use this to cut down a tree (I mean you could, but you would only get like 4-5 small trees out of it). If you need something else cut, and you can't do a slicey job of it, I think this is one of the best wood saws I have seen on a multitool.The weird curvy saw:Eh, it is a weird curvy saw, see the clip point knife for more detail.Tool as a whole:Now to see the forest and not the trees;The knife is solid. It is fairly heavy, but that isn't an issue for me. I can say with certainty that this is not stainless steel. It is definitely steel, but not stainless. As a whole, I would say it is mostly some form of carbon steel. When I first bought this knife, about a month after I saw one of my favorite youtubers review this knife in a scientific stress test against other tools. He is really good, you should check him out. He calls this the Mossy Oak for the whole of the review, and it makes top 3 consistently IMO.https://youtu.be/Q9E2PjjdCAM?list=PLjT3B9r2z3fWwh2unOhjJ87HTSBnXEUyy&t=115Now for the tools biggest weakness and strength. It is basically completely stamped. Make no mistake, this is a cheap cheap knife, but it is a *good* cheap knife. It does everything a fancy knife can do, often better. When I say it is cheap, that does not at all show when it comes to performance. It is cheap in that it is constructed cheaply, but that does not mean it isn't durable. When I say it is cheap, I mean that it is comprised exclusively of stamped steel (excluding screws). This shows in that every single edge is rough and sharp. They say this was sandblasted, and perhaps it is true, but it doesn't show. What can be said is that they compensate for this on the handles by lining them with rolled plastic, so it is very comfortable to hold, particularly for bigger hands. It is only upon close inspection and disassembly of the knife will you notice the shortcuts taken on it. Shortcuts are good. Shortcuts mean you can get one of the best multitools on amazon for $20. If you pick and choose where you take your shortcuts so that you are only taking them where it doesn't matter, you did good. This knife does that beyond well, and it is my first choice for multitool. Hard recommend.

Solid. Tools easily extract and retract. Pliers work very well. The multittol is a little heavy but if it was lighter, it would be less solid, so I think the weight is *justified*. I lke the leatherette case for the multitool. I also like the four bits for the screwdriver that are in a small pouch in this case.. Got a great price on this. Been looking for a good multitool for a long time that I could afford. This seems definitely a good choice. Most importantly, as I stated at the start of this review: the tools easily extract and retract, and the tool is solid.

For the price, I am surprised at the apparent quality of this multi-tool. I have not used it in the field yet, but after playing with it for a few minutes, it seems to be well made. The machining is surprisingly precise. It is quite heavy, so if you are looking for a lightweight tool, you might have to pay more for a more streamlined product.The steel seems to be of a decent quality as well, the blades are not flimsy like some bargain multi-tools are. The carrying case is not as heavy-weight as I would like, but it is acceptable at this price point. The locking mechanism is crisp and the blades are easy to unlock with the unlocking lever.Design-wise, this looks/feels a lot like my Gerber Suspension.

I'm a very, very long-time user of the Leatherman tools (almost 40 years). Unfortunately it's getting harder and harder for me to get them to honor their "lifetime warranty". So when I decided I was tired of having the main knife not lock into place like it used to, I went shopping for a replacement multi-tool.I'm not going to go Leatherman again, mostly because of the warranty issue. My thinking is, if it's going to break (and the two I've had from them both have broken at some point, with one being replaced because I walked into their HQ and asked for it), then why spend more money?So I got this.it checks all the functional use tool boxes I wanted and needed, and then some. It's great for being in the car, for those of you who might still play around with wiring or are a DIY kind with little space and tiny tool boxes. It came with a web fabric pouch that might be as durable as the leather the Leatherman came with. There are some screw bits that are easily lost if you're not careful, but they're standard hex size, so replacing them is not going to be a huge deal. In squeezing it, it has about as much give as the Leatnerman, with about the same ratio of force.For what it is, it's a decent tool, and I'd recommend it to a friend.But only one with huge hands.The picture shows the differences (the scale there is 1" between the numbers). They're both folded for storage as tightly as they go in the first image, and the second one is both of them at rest. When squeezed against the spring, the width of the multi-tool is about 3/4" wider (about 3/8 per side) overall than the Leatherman. For a tool that's a lot of extra width in the grip.So when the multi-tool is closed for storage, It's at least 50% wider, and a bit longer, meaning it's heavier and bulkier to use, than the Leatherman. That it's spring loaded when using the pliers makes it that much more difficult to control, because at rest, it's 2 1/2 times wider than the Leatherman, with the spring keeping it open.The up-side is that the edges on this multi-tool are rounded enough to not gouge out your tender flesh when squeezing down on them as needed. But after a while, they do begin to hurt my hands just gripping against the spring. Since the spring mechanism seems to be inside the jaw mechanism itself, and not something that could be clipped or removed, it's a permanent feature.So if I dislike it so much, why give it 4 stars?It's a preference thing. I prefer the smaller size, since that's what I'm used to. I don't know that I'll use this multi-tool enough to get used to it, but I might. It seems to be pretty well constructed. It doesn't bend any more than the Leatherman when I squeeze it, and it's not uncomfortable to use. Just, for me, it's awkward.So if you have a huge-handed friend who needs a multi-tool, I'd recommend it. If your friends' hands look huge and like they belong on a Muppet when they put on a medium-sized glove, hard pass on this for them, since they'll really struggle. Only large and extra large handed people should be reading this far.I removed a star because the spring action is a bit too strong for what it needs, and because hurting my hand from regular use sooner than the Leatherman ever did is not a good look for any tool with aspirations of replacing a Leatherman tool.
