Budget priced tool, quality above par
By st. fu on Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2025
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.

Spring loaded, potentially more dangerous
By Jdamazon on Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2024
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.
