Apart from the fact that this is a 6-inch "axe", the design is one not to be trusted. the handle is small, has sharp edges, and when the spring wears in, it slips, and you wind up pinching your fingers. The hammer is less useful than a solid hammer, due to the fact that you have to squeeze the vice grip to hold it firmly (this goes for if you're daft enough to be trying to use this as an axe, too) This also makes the latch at the bottom detach, which makes the handle spring out (if the spring is still working). Ever use a pocketknife saw to saw anything? If you have, you know it's useless. Same with the pocketknife, which suffers a dexterity handicap of -10 due to the fact that it's attached to the rear-end of a hammer and "axe". The wire-cutter may work okay, if there's a lot of space around the wire to fit the head of this axe and hammer mutant, and if the wire is very thin, because you're hands will be in agony the first time you have to put any real pressure on that tiny handle. the spanners, drivers and other turning tools, you have to spin the entire bulk of this thing around EACH TIME you turn the screw/nut/bolt ONCE. That's IF you have enough clearance to do that (10-inch diameter at least). You've got no leverage with a tool like this, and will wind up putting way more force into it than is necessary with this great new invention called a "lever", which comes on all socket-wrench sets as standard. Do yourself a favour and rub salted lemonjuice sandpaper into both eyes before attempting this. That will reduce the pain you feel when the tool slips and you jam your hand+fingers+"axe" into the nearest hard surface. Trying to fix a bike? Those spokes will take the flesh right off your knuckles.
If you're out to teach your kids wilderness handicraft, or how to fix something, show them you have some sense and teach them the value of having proper tools for the job. If you want to fix things on the fly, carry a small toolbox in your car (for $40 you can have even buy the box!). If you want a 6-inch hammer and axe bulging out of your (torn) jeans pocket... well, then this is the "tool" for you!

I do not believe for one second the good reviews on here are real. This is a horrible product. It looks shoddily assembled and does not function well. It's a nice idea; too bad it is so poorly executed. Save your money and buy real, quality tools.

It may not be that practical as a Leatherman-type pocket multi-tool but it sure is cool looking and will get you some attention. Excellent build quality and came with a nice pouch and blade-guard for the axe part. Ive had friends say this will make an excellent camping tool. Unfortunately, I dont camp so I cant vouch for that. They plan to buy one for a Boy Scout in their family. All I know is that this thing is built well, is very solid and VERY cool!

i seen this product last fall and my hubby fell in love with it so i purchased him one for christmas 2010 and he loves it ,very handy and usefull,there is only one thing but it is a small matter,the cover for the small axe does not fit it ,so improvements on the case would be nice.otherwise thumbs up!

Much smaller than expected, should have paid closer attention to the specs. Nice Paperweight.

I ordered directly from Brook & Hunter. Their customer service is great. The product is amazing, really well made, heavy, and most definitely useful.

My husband ordered this little gem. It is the most handy tool we have ever bought. We belong to a rustic Boy Scout Troop and bought this for camping. Great gadget and a must have for anyone who is routinely out in the wilderness.

This is a good item, well made, but I somehow expected it to be a little larger than it is. My mistake.

Nice little tool and even though small it has some weight to it. It's a Leatherman on steroids and well worth the $40.00.

This is actually a very nifty and well made tool. Excellent quality. One major gripe though - it's quite small! What good is a little 6 inch axe? I didn't read the physical description very well I guess. Really a nice tool and a pretty good price as long as you realize how small it is and have a use for such a tool. I don't.
