Pros: Included Tools

Cons: Included Tools

Enough good for price.

small and handy tool. it's not luxury finish, but fine for price. Sadly, my scissors spring had rust. I hope it happens only to me. (apprehensively, it's blister packed. if you buy this, i hope you check it) "Compound Leverage" makes Strong cutting power. but needs more torque. so it could be convenient to larger hand. (length between finger groove is 2.75inc/7cm when unfold crosscut. that means you will hold that length between your thumb and forefinger when you using corsscut.) bigger scissor blade with convenient finger groove is good. if you looking for EDC scissor, this one could be considerable option.

Pros: None

Cons: Overall Quality, Materials, Finish, Included Tools

Not bad but....

This is a good little multi tool but I'll stick with my little leatherman. The fit and finish just are not there for me. The made in china stamp stares you in the face. The scissors are not very sharp and when using them to cut, the handles dig into your hand. The blade is fairly sharp but awkward to use. The tweezers, and nail file are useless and there is no Philips head screw driver. I expected more from a company like SOG, clearly this is just a licensed piece that doesn't meet their usually high standards.

Pros: Included Tools

Cons: Overall Quality

Good Ideas, Awful Execution

The scissors are alright, but the rest of the tool is quite frankly a typical example of cheap Chinese manufacturing. I like the selection of tools, but the way they're executed here makes them all but useless with the possible exception of the screwdriver. If SOG were to replace them with better versions (both in terms of design and manufacturing) this little tool could be quite useful. On the positive side, the scissors work quite nicely and the tool is very light, slightly lighter than a Gerber Dime. Overall, you get what you pay for.

Pros: Locking

Cons: Overall Quality

You get what you pay for

The three-star rating is price-considered, but I'm not impressed overall with this multitool. The scissors aren't bad, but the rest of the tool is quite frankly cheap Chinese junk. All of the tools seem to be poorly designed and/or manufactured. They all stick to each other when you try to open just one. Once open, the tools are actually detained quite firmly by the slipjoint mechanism, to be fair. The scissors themselves aren't executed very well despite being a good idea. You can get a lot of leverage with the gear system, but if you try to cut something thick the blades bend away from each other and go around the object. For fifteen dollars I suppose you get an okay tool, but I wouldn't buy it again.
