There are alot of other tools available but when what you what is a solid pair of pliers, this one is great. The knife "flicks" out easily and locks in place. The serrations are usefull for heavier rope but they are not too aggressive. The big bonus feature is the 1/4 inch bit compatibility. Any two bits can be securely stowed on either side of the handle so damage to the screwdriver is of little consequence. The pliers are spring loaded (a good feature for me) and can be opened, used and closed with one hand. The grip is resin, round and comfortable.

Downside? It seems long and the grip can feel heavy when riding in a pocket. The clip is stylish and secure but I would have preferred it to be a bit longer.

This review is from: Columbia River Knife And Tool 9065 Zilla Jr. Multitool With Black And Grey Scale and Assisted Opening Needle Nose Pliers, 2.25-inch Steel Blade, 5.25-inch Handle (Tools & Home Improvement)

good tool, performed pretty much as expected. the 3/8 inch universal bit holder is a GREAT idea creating an almost limitless potential for additional uses. the steeel used in the pliars is a tad soft and the wire cutter dinged on the first or second use and snags now cancelling the spring assist opening function and making the pliars actually diffficult to open. we found the tool a little heavy and bulky as a belt tool (might not bother some one else) so it moved to the tool box now relatively unused as it can't really compete with its single use boxmates.

This tool performs as advertized! It carries two standard bits, which no other multi tool does. It has a cool flipper knife that opens fast as lightning and the spring loaded pliers are ready to rock at the flip of a button. The tool is built like a tank and near impossible to break due to is its one piece construction, unlike most multi tools which are multi piece units. The pocket carry clip makes it very nice to have ready to use at moments notice. This is not a delicate tool, just like the name says!!!
