Solid performer

I’ve had this for over 26 years now, bought in 1999. It’s been on 4 deployments, two being combat deployments. I’ve used it for the past 17 years in law enforcement. It’s a solid tool and will last.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A Constant Companion

Far and away my favorite multitool that I've ever carried, and I've carried quite a few. As a soldier overseas it was a constant companion and it has fixed many a humvee. I use mine every day from electrical work to working fence line. It can be used for pretty much anything within reason. It has its limitations, of course, but for a fast tool that will get the job done and get you back to what you were doing there is nothing else like it. I bought one for daily carry and a second for a backup just in case this one has a problem. Definitely highly recommend.

The One.

Had two of these since the early 2000's. Both held up and outlasted other tools of the same nature. No need to look at others at this point. Highest recommendation since it's the best out there.

I use it daily and abuse it hard.

Ill start by saying i am a diesel mechanic, trucker, and farmer. I am absolutely loat without it. I can flip it open one handed like a butterfly knife with ease. I got a hand made thick leather sheath to match the sheath for my flashlight. Its see many years of use and abuse, i have broke one jaw, one screwdriver, both of which i could replace myself. One time however i poped the rivets, sog gave me a knew one no question asked. And that new one has been a few years back and i can hardly go without it. I literally bought another just in case i break this one so i dont need to go without for a week. But again this is daily hard use. I use the pliers the most, the #2 Phillips quite a bit, and the flats get used as pry tools a lot. The knife is just a backup for me. Overall i am very impressed. I spent 80 bucks on a custom very heavy sheath because i have mo intentions of switching brands.

This my second of these tools. My first (EOD model) lasted over 10 years before I broke the pliers through abuse.

Very stiff mechanical joints, not easy to select tools

I love the design of this multi tool. I just wish it was a little stronger made. I can squeeze the handles in a half an inch just by the metal flexing. Also the fit and finish was subpar. My knife blades were not sharp and everything seemed to have a rough edge where everything appears to me stamped out of metal. At least they should offer a version of this with thicker metal and where somebody assembles it by hand and smooths up the surfaces. I know it would cost more but it would be a nice touch. They should do this design more justice by making a quality version seeing that they have the patent on the gear pliers
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
