Tools
Scissors
Knife
File/nail cleaner
Tweezers
Philips screwdriver
Flathead screwdriver
Bottle opener/small flathead

Likes
  • Great quality. Fit and finish is good as well.
  • Inexpensive. These can be picked up for like $20.
  • Small tool. It could fit nicely on a keychain.
  • Good toolset for how small it is
  • All the tools function as they should, but some of them aren’t the best. I’ll talk more about this in the dislikes section.
  • Nail nicks are easy to use
  • Comfortable in the hand during use
  • Scissors perform decently
Dislikes
  • Tools only accessible from the inside. It’s much more useful if you don’t have to open the whole tool to get to the majority of the tools.
  • Scissors get stuck pretty often
  • Knife is chisel ground. As I’ve mentioned in previous reviews, this just makes for an awful blade. Leatherman could easily change this.
  • Tweezers suck. They’re not that precise at all.
  • Tools are pretty stiff to get in and out
This is an alright option if you use scissors more than pliers. I prefer scissor-based multi-tools, since I use scissors more often. I never really use any of the tools besides the scissors. The scissors don’t perform the best, but they are better than Leatherman’s smaller scissors. They still don’t beat the Victorinox scissors though. It’s an interesting option and if it interests you, then check it out. I say skip it and just get a Victorinox. Thanks for looking!
