I used to have this exact same multitool 13 years ago when I got it as a birthday gift, but I lost it somewhere up north in Michigan. I've been looking everywhere to find it again because of how much I loved having it around. I just had trouble remembering the name of it . I was expecting to find the same one I had for around $40-$60 but was really surprised that they sell it new for only $8! This thing is the best multitool I've ever seen for under $10!
The positives are that it is made of stainless steel, it is a very simple design without any fancy locks for the tools, it folds down into a very small size, it uses rivets instead of screws (so you don't have to worry about it coming apart someday because you forgot to tighten the screws), it comes with a pouch that you can have on your belt, and it uses a "shearing" type wire cutter instead of a "compression" type wire cutter similar to what bolt cutters would use.
Some things I did to improve the multitool out of the box were:
1) Get a wet stone sharping kit to get the reamer, can opener, and knife razor sharp.
2) Remove the black rubber stickers on the sides of the multitool and then polish the entire knife with a metal polish. (The stickers end up falling off eventually, and I really like the all metal look)
3) Oil the moving parts with HOPPE'S No. 9 gun oil to keep it working smoothly.
I Highly suggest this knife! I'll buy another one as a spare because it is so inexpensive.
