In a nutshell- it’s made well and easy to use. It’s a quality tool for a great price.Purchased as a replacement for a cabella brand that lasted a few years until the important screws fell out and they don’t offer replacement parts for their custom fit inserts. This multi tool is not “leathermn” quality, but it also way less money and works just as well. It’s been put through the paces camping, traveling, tearing things up, and it’s as solid as the day I got it. Blades were reasonably sharp without having to work on them. The lock is easy to use. The different tools are easy to get to and the whole thing is easy to clean- hasn’t rusted a bit. I’ll probably lose it somewhere and the new owner will love it. When or if that happens, I’ll definitely purchase this again.

Love the handy utility tool. Worth the buy.

I ended up getting this for around 12 dollars and purchased another (Gerber) for 31 to compare. This was the better option in this price range.This is a heavy multi tool and feels very solid in your hands. I found the full saw to be a nice inclusion and all of the tools feel like they will take some punishment. I also like the ribbed metal gripper in the center for an additional way to open something or work it loose.The knife isn’t great but I never get these for the knife anyway. That’s why I value a full saw more for moments of improvisation.Took off a star because it lacks scissors and any of the tools to have a hole for fishing or sewing. Case it comes with is very basic.Overall, I’m very pleased with purchase for the price.

This thing cost about $12 when I bought it. Yes, the lock/release mechanism is weird and therefore slower to deploy (requiring two hands), but the locks are SOLID. It lacks a pocket clip but comes with a case you can use to strap it to your belt or kit. It is both larger and heavier than a Leatherman. IT COST $12!!!I have an old, Wal-Mart multitool I bought for my tacklebox years ago that had NO LOCK of any kind at all on any of the tools. That thing is just useful enough to cut a fishing line with the pitiful blade, and the pliers could be used to remove hooks with some difficulty. It sucked! The blade/tools moved all over the place and the pliers did NOT have a spring. I think I paid $15 for that at the time at Wal-Mart, which was more than my tacklebox/beer cooler.If you want something a little more refined than this, you could pay more for a Gerber or SOG- but even that’s still FAR from the beloved $150 Leatherman. Aren’t those also getting up into the $30-$60 range? Do they have pliers with springs?You could just use this and buy a new one if you were to lose it every month for a YEAR! That would cost the same as ONE Leatherman. Now, imagine losing the Leatherman or Gerber… that’d be annoying, right?I keep mine in a fantastic, admittedly pricier, leather tool-belt along with a few other things I use constantly, like an excellent Olight flashlight, a durable pen, a good folding knife, and it even has a place for your keys or something on a clip. I’ll write a review for that next. It’s pretty cool and just slides on and off your belt.If I was rich, I’d buy whatever Leatherman has all the same tools as this, was one-handed opening, but ALSO had spring-loaded-pliers. I just don’t need to. I’d rather put one of these tools in my desk, one in each vehicle, and carry one in my tool-belt. I could even get wild and replace that thing in my tacklebox. That would probably still be the price of one Gerber!It breaks: $12. You lose it: $12. It’s an impressive tool for the price. I don’t know. I’m not a handyman or contractor. I do a lot in IT and a lot of recording and gigging for music. I use this tool at least four times a day. It’s FINE for whatever I come across when I don’t have a specialized tool set with me.Maybe I’ll buy a Gerber or SOG to see if it’s worth it. But it would have to have the same tools and the spring-leaded pliers. I just don’t know if that’s worth the price difference. If I get a SOG or a Gerber, I’ll come back and update this review. But I’m pretty sure my Gerber dime was about $30 and that little thing is meant for a keychain, not for any real use.None of this is meant as a criticism of Gerber, SOG, Leatherman, or any other brand (except that thing I got from Wal-Mart). But if you’re like me and take a deep breath every time you gas up your truck, why not try to get your twelve dollar’s worth first? Even if you wind up not liking it and ultimately want to buy something more refined, just throw this in your glove-box. Someday you’ll be glad you have it. If it winds up in your tacklebox at least you’re not making a mess of your more expensive multi-tool.

If I paid $42 for a Leatherman I would have given it 3 stars. Let’s be clear it is much lower quality. The blades are stiffer and more difficult to engage. Now with that out of the way let’s say at $14 it will do great to have in my truck and the few times a year I need it the extra 30 seconds will barely be missed

I already own two different models of genuine Leatherman name brand multi-tools. I think the one has been with me for over 25 years. I simply wanted a cheaper alternative to have a spare tool in one of my work boxes - a tool that I wouldn't mind losing or having stolen.As the saying goes, you generally get what you pay for here. The build quality on this unit is OK, but it lacks some refinements. The thing I dislike the most is the spring loaded pliers. To me, this is a major design flaw, and could even be dangerous when you are switching from one tool to the next. The unit is overall much more bulky and clumsy, and this is not helped by the design of the handles. It's almost like the entire scale of the unit is completely off between the nose of the pliers and the folding sides.I think it will hold up for occasional use, and for this price that's all I can expect. It's heavy and seemingly well designed, but if you truly want a Leatherman, get one new or even lightly used and you will be more happy.UPDATE:This thing IS dangerous, and was an epic fail on a recent job where I had to cut a very thin wire. Instead of the cutters working as they should, they locked up on the wire, requiring another multitool to undo the problem. Also, in practical use, the design of the handle and blade is awkward and unsafe. Going to seek refund.

Very impressive. I like everything about this tool. The price is amazing!

I needed something like this to keep in an upstairs bedroom. I didn't want to spend the money to buy a Leatherman but I still appreciate something well made and solid and this is it! Has all the bells and whistles I wanted and needed at a price that surprised me, pleasantly!

It’s not the same thing that’s shown on images that nylon cover also different.it’s seems like low quality one

Flimsy and dangerous as blades do not lock.

Using it many times so far has held up well for me. I like the pouch it is stored in and the build quality vs the price

Love the locking feature. Heavy and seems well built & solid. Very stiff, perhaps it will loosen up with some use.

I keep this in my glove compartment. It is REALLY heavy duty with a nice quality case. I looked at other options that cost 3 times as much! This is just perfect. Great quality and price for such a useful little in "case of emergency" tool.
