5.0 out of 5 stars Forget it until you need it!, November 10, 2007

By	Edward Fielding "Outdoor Gift Expert" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The beauty of this stainless steel survival tool is that you can tuck it away any where (wallet, glove box) and use it when you need it for emergencies. The saw and blade alone are highly valuable survival tools. The ruler and bottle opener are handy for everyday uses.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK in a real pinch, not good for every day use., November 29, 2008

By	T. Hassler - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I hope nobody is considering this tool for anything other than having an emergency backup to what should already be every day carry tools. It's decent quality, but I certainly wouldn't put it at "top notch" status. And the functions are mostly hard to pull off with any degree of force. The knife is on a short side which makes it difficult to use. The "screwdriver" which is little more than one corner ground to a flat-head shape is only useful in wide-open areas with larger screws, and with the knife on the same edge, one has to be very careful indeed.

The only tools that I found to be decently easy to use are the saw and bottle opener. The saw since it was on the long side and the opposite side (ruler) allows for a decent grip. The Bottle opener is equally easy to operate.

The can opener forces you to use the saw as a finger grip and the wrench slots pretty much require that any bolts are not very tight, and that's if you can get the tool on it in the first place.

This really didn't fit well in my money clip wallet, but it might in a full sized wallet. So, as an emergency backup, it might get you out of a jam and could actually come in handy once in a while. Forget using it as a keychain tool... it's way too dangerous to leave out in the open (and the plastic cover that came with mine was laughably cheap). It won't make it through the TSA unless someone's asleep at the wheel, so traveling with it isn't really an option either.

I'd give it a 2.5 star, but for the money, it's hard to beat, so I'm rounding up. You could always toss one in the glove compartments, toolboxes, bookbag, etc. but I strongly recommend a Small Leatherman Micra or Squirt if compact is what you seek. Those are FAR more functional (AND SAFE!!!) in comparison. Get it if your curiosity or gearlust must be sated.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's a good "urban" survival tool, November 26, 2007

By	Benson Y. Chuang (Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am pretty happy with this purchase, it makes for a pretty handy "gee I wish I could open this bottle/cut this paper/open this can oh wait I can!" device. Anyway, the one I used the most is the bottle opener, and it takes a little patience to get used to opening bottles this way. Definetly a handy tool to keep in your wallet. The inclusion of a "compass hole" (the big circle with the lines around it) seems unecessary, since it's designed for a button compass to be pressed into it (at least, as far as I can tell).
