NexTool Mini Flagship 10 in 1 Multi-Tool, Multitool with Multitools Pliers, Camping Pliers, Can Opener, Scissors, Screwdriver, Bottle Opener, Gifts for Men, Father's Day Gifts-Silver

It is said of phones that they are the best camera because they are the only ones you have with you at all times - so more useful than that DSLR sitting at home when there is a need to take a photo when you are out and about on your day to day tasks. Well, this is a proper multitool that is small enough to put on your keyring which means it will be far more useful than a bigger one that you will tend to leave at home because of its bulk or having a locking blade which makes it illegal to carry in the UK. It has the usual knife, file, can/bottle opener, Flat Blade and Philips screwdrivers but the main assets for the size are the scissors and pliers. The scissors work extremely well and are as big as you would find in a larger multitool. The pliers are understandably smaller (and thinner) than you would find in bigger equivalents but still very useful for many tasks. As a real personal example from just yesterday, my door lock got jammed and I could not turn the key. I tried using the whole keyring for leverage but that just twisted the main ring out of shape. Thankfully, I had this recently delivered tool in my pocket and with the pliers I was able to exert enough force to turn the lock which opened with a heavy snapping sound - it really was jammed and I would have been stuck without some tool at hand. I made sure to immediately fit the multitool onto my bent keyring! And that is the point of this: it is not as heavy duty as much larger tools (though the scissors are comparable and overall build quality is excellent) but because it will always be with you, it could be able to get you out of the little unexpected emergencies you may encounter in your day to day life.

I took a risk and bought this (I’ve always had Victorinox Swiss Army Knives (SAK) in the past). It hasn’t disappointed! The size is shorter and thinner than my main SAK but has some great features: knife, bottle opener, can opener, nail file/flat head screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver, good size scissors and my main reason for falling for it, needle nose pliers. It comes in different colour ways, I chose green. It also has a key ring making attachment to a carabiner or keychain a synch. Bought for my EDC I now carry it in my pocket and use it most days. It’s a really useful bit of kit. It seems well made and sturdy, time will tell. If you want a huge range of tools in one place then a large SAK may suit you better but I’m enjoying my new purchase.

It’s of really good quality. I cannot recommend it enough, you wilt regret buying one of these. It’s such a handy size and fits comfortably in my pocket. It’s best to fit this with a lanyard to make it easier to reach from the pocket. I used a simple snake knot with 4mm paracord (look this up on YouTube).

When my husband first got this and started using it he was very happy. He loves the way all the tools are effectively "outside". You can open any tool without having to open another. He took the key ring off as it does tend to get in the way, and the tool easily fits into a trouser pocket, and you can forget it is there. The knife is sharp, and in comparison to the size of the closed tool, quite big. Scissors are very good he thought, and quite big for the size of the tool overall. Not used the can opener (ring pull cans) or bottle opener (screw tops). Both files are somewhat TOO fine. He would prefer the coarse file as fine, and a coarse file as coarser. Crosshead screwdriver works well on very small screws ( eg holding a small transistor radio back on) up to to smaller-medium (provided not too much torque is needed!) Pliers work well for their small size. BUT....sadly the other day the metal "spring" holding one half of the pliers snapped off. And that was just opening the pliers, not actually using them. These springs are simply tabs cut into the frame. Not all the tabs are cut equally well. The steel used has fractured on one half of the pliers, which have only been lightly used. Sadly, I am returning it after only four weeks of light use.

A great quality multi tool. Brilliant for those little quick things. Not too heavy and feel sturdy in the hand.
