I used to carry around 1 of the following (depending on the job that needed to be done): SOG Powerlock, Gerber Suspension (Taiwanese model), or Leatherman Crunch. I now carry this little guy exclusively. First, it has both pairs of plier heads, and the transition is as smooth as you can get. none of the tools have any play, in fact, some are even a little difficult to get out. The tools all lock in place, and are quite difficult to release even if you follow the instructions, I don't see many slips with this tool. Also, the tool does not feature "screw drivers," it features a universal 1/4" hex bit adapter (double sided bits only), which makes it infinitely more useful than the crappy screwdrivers featured on most multi-tools.
The construction is very solid, I am amazed that this thing doesn't cost 10x more.
Will purchase more.

while viewing the many different multi-pliers here to find a replacement for my sears craftsman slip joint multi- plier that is no longer available I found these. For the price I decided to give it a try. I am very impressed how they are holding up. I just wish the jaws would open a little wider to tighten the bonnets on some of the larger valve stems. That's just me being lazy though. I got spoiled not having to make additional trips to the van when i started using these multi-tools. The wire strippers and wire cutter works great, these have a magnet for the driver tip not to fall out- great feature! These are on my belt and are with me on every service call. Can't beat these for the price!

I like it. I do ATM repair work, and this goofy little tool allows me to leave my "real" tools out in the parking lot 9/10 of the time. It has a much higher build quality and feel than the price would lead you to expect.
I'd buy another in a heartbeat if this one disappeared.

This tool is ok at best , I will say the pliers and construction seem to be high in quality. And if you need these two style of pliers frequently the it's gonna be alot handier for you . The screwdriver works ok but the other implements included are of less use and hard to get unfolded to use . You have to pry them out to use them which takes time! The knife is not sharp and very small. I would only suggest for certain uses ,not a good all around multi-tool.
