Multitool, 29-in-1 Multitool Pliers with Replaceable Wire Cutters and Saw, Heavy-duty Stainless Steel Multi-tool Set and Nylon Sheath for Camping Survival multi tool for Man

Agree with many of the other reviewers. I find this multi tool to be solid, well made, with useful components.

Cannot say enough good things about this multitool. Everything was tight, locked up and lined up properly without so much as a screw loose. Amazing quality at a fraction of the price you would pay for a Leatherman. The quality of this tool compares to that of multitools selling at 3x the price. Just two things to watch out for: standard jig saw blades will interchange with the file; but, you are then unable to close the saw...you'll have to replace with the shorter OEM file to close tool. A small point. Also, I would prefer magnetic one-sided screwdriver bits to the provided double sided ball-detent type. I dropped a small magnet down into the onboard screwdriver attachment and can now use my one-sided magnetic quarter-inch screwdriver bits. A solid, useful, tool that needs little room for improvemet. A TREMENDOUS VALUE.

Fantastic tool! Definitely worth the money!

Multitool is excellent. Looks great, modern tool with the cutouts in the handle. The tool itself is very well constructed, cant complain of anything really. Yeah, is a little heavy could be the only complain, but the way its constructed, design, easy of operation, tools included is almost perfect. Comes with the adaptor bits as advertised. Its a good purchased I have used for over a month and I'm very satisfied.

A number of different companies are making these Leatherman clones. Bibury, Daicamping, SwissTech, Nextool. I previously got the Bibury Surge clone and gave it as a gift. I have the Rocktol 12 in 1 pocket multitool and love everything about it, so when it came time to get a Surge clone for myself, I went with Rocktol again. While the Bibury was definitely good for the price, its fit, finish and action was noticeably inferior to my Leatherman. This one on the other hand, is scary good. Because the Leatherman is a Leatherman, USA made, and 4x the price, I will assume it is still better, more durable perhaps, and with a better warranty. But initial impression I see no obvious difference in quality. Fit and finish is excellent, action is smooth, all the tools lock up perfectly. And the 1/4” bit driver is far superior to the Leatherman driver and its proprietary slim bits. The bits included with the Rocktol are retained with a ball detent, but I will be epoxying a magnet into the driver and using my Wiha double ended bits. With a magnet installed, my Leatherman ratchet driver and bit driver extender will plug in no problem. Or you could get hex end bit driver extenders and a hex end 711 ratchet for much cheaper than what Leatherman charges.One thing I would change, and this applies to all of these Chinese clones, is the sheath. It’s junk. There are large cutouts on the sides of the sheath that expose the tool to dust, dirt, moisture etc., and you won’t be able to put anything else in the main pocket without the risk of them falling out. The small elastic pocket on the front of the sheath that contains the bits does not seem very secure while at the same time making it awkward to take the bit card out, which is always snagging. There are no extra internal pockets. The side pockets are not elastic like on a Leatherman, but nylon, and one of them is stitched mostly closed so that it can only contain the Torx Allen key for disassembling your tool and a small ziplock baggie with your spare wire cutter blades. If you really want to replicate a Leatherman kit with bits, flashlight, ratchet, and t-shank accessories, you will not be able to do it with this sheath. Certainly not a deal breaker as there are plenty of affordable options out there, but since these Chinese companies have done such a good job of duplicating a Leatherman at 1/4 of the price, it seems it shouldn’t be too hard to provide a better sheath.I cannot guarantee that you will have the exact same experience as me. You may get a Bibury that is better than the one I got, or a Rocktol that is not quite as perfect as mine. At these prices the quality control may not be as exacting as that of a US company selling a $150 tool. But I am very impressed and also a little worried for Leatherman. These companies are beating them at their own game and responding more quickly to customer demand and feedback. When a tool isn’t working quite right, they fix it. They include bits, spare saw blades and wire cutters, all for 1/4 of the price. Bibury sells a spare parts and accessories kit that fits exactly with this Rocktol. I got it solely for the t-shank scalpel holder which I modded to fit my Surge, but Leatherman should already be offering accessories like this if they want to stay competitive. I recently snagged one of their ratchet drivers after waiting over a year for it to be back in stock and seeing it go on ebay for upwards of $250. That is unacceptable. Someday soon one of these Chinese companies might make their own ratchet driver and put it out there for $12-15, and always have it in stock. I’m all for buying American, but it is also a buyer’s market. If customers are made to fight tooth and nail for your products, they will go elsewhere as soon as they are able.

This is very similar to the Leatherman Surge. Approximately same size and weight. So it is quite hefty. I have a Surge as well. Pretty much the same tool selection except that the screwdriver bit holder is actual hex, not flattened hex. This is nice as far as gaining access to lots of bits, however it does require the can opener to be put on the other side, so the screw driver and punch blades need to be a bit thinner because there are 4 on that side rather than 3 tools on the other side of the Surge. I don’t see this as a serious problem though. Fit and finish are quite good. Better than expected at this price. Not excellent, but really quite good. Blades are sharp, no dings or gashes or bent stuff. The plier jaws are finished perfectly and align properly. I don’t have a hardness tester, but I suspect that the blades and tools are using a softer steel than than the Leatherman.Positives: The Price is very reasonable for what you are getting. The fabric case is not flimsy crap!. The tool comes with a spare set of wire cutter inserts, two saws, and the wrench to change the wire cutter inserts. The tools are near copies of the Leatherman Surge. Fit and finish better than expected. It comes with some bits as well and can use standard bits.Negatives: The bit holder doesn’t seem to be magnetic. The bits require the spring loaded ball bearings to be retained. File not as nice as the Leatherman equivalent. This is an overseas copy of a American designed and manufactured tool. It undercuts the Leatherman tool in price and perhaps some quality (I did not test hardness, or rust resistance). Some may find the concept offensive.Conclusion (applicable to me, and perhaps others). I tend to lose these things before I wear them out, or don’t have them where I want them. Hence having a less expensive alternative conveniently available has some utility. If you are buying a multi tool of this form factor and plan on using it for years as your go to tool, the Genuine Original Leatherman Surge could well be the better option. I have one, I love it but don’t want to spend a fortune to have 1 upstairs, 1 downstairs and 1 in my trunk.

I'm going as far as saying, BETTER THAN LETTERMAN!and way cheaper. Lost my Leatherman and ordered this as money is tight. Honestly, I'm glad I lost the Leatherman, this Rocktol really is better, can't believe it.
