bulky but good

I actually bought this last year for my cousin and he forgot to take it out of his carry-on and pack it in his suitcase when going through TSA so they ended up making him get rid of it and he loved this thing so much that he asked me to buy him another one, the following Christmas, which I did, and he was very excited for. He really liked it. He said it was sturdy. It was perfect because it fits in his pocket or on his belt loops. It was easy to use. It had everything he needed and it’s a good multitool. In fact, I think I’m gonna get myself one for the jobs that I do which you’re not nearly as greedy as his job but I still need one. He did say it was easy to hold onto and the tools are sharp and work well.

I'm a very, very long-time user of the Leatherman tools (almost 40 years). Unfortunately it's getting harder and harder for me to get them to honor their "lifetime warranty". So when I decided I was tired of having the main knife not lock into place like it used to, I went shopping for a replacement multi-tool. I'm not going to go Leatherman again, mostly because of the warranty issue. My thinking is, if it's going to break (and the two I've had from them both have broken at some point, with one being replaced because I walked into their HQ and asked for it), then why spend more money? So I got this. it checks all the functional use tool boxes I wanted and needed, and then some. It's great for being in the car, for those of you who might still play around with wiring or are a DIY kind with little space and tiny tool boxes. It came with a web fabric pouch that might be as durable as the leather the Leatherman came with. There are some screw bits that are easily lost if you're not careful, but they're standard hex size, so replacing them is not going to be a huge deal. In squeezing it, it has about as much give as the Leatnerman, with about the same ratio of force. For what it is, it's a decent tool, and I'd recommend it to a friend. But only one with huge hands. The picture shows the differences (the scale there is 1" between the numbers). They're both folded for storage as tightly as they go in the first image, and the second one is both of them at rest. When squeezed against the spring, the width of the multi-tool is about 3/4" wider (about 3/8 per side) overall than the Leatherman. For a tool that's a lot of extra width in the grip. So when the multi-tool is closed for storage, It's at least 50% wider, and a bit longer, meaning it's heavier and bulkier to use, than the Leatherman. That it's spring loaded when using the pliers makes it that much more difficult to control, because at rest, it's 2 1/2 times wider than the Leatherman, with the spring keeping it open. The up-side is that the edges on this multi-tool are rounded enough to not gouge out your tender flesh when squeezing down on them as needed. But after a while, they do begin to hurt my hands just gripping against the spring. Since the spring mechanism seems to be inside the jaw mechanism itself, and not something that could be clipped or removed, it's a permanent feature. So if I dislike it so much, why give it 4 stars? It's a preference thing. I prefer the smaller size, since that's what I'm used to. I don't know that I'll use this multi-tool enough to get used to it, but I might. It seems to be pretty well constructed. It doesn't bend any more than the Leatherman when I squeeze it, and it's not uncomfortable to use. Just, for me, it's awkward. So if you have a huge-handed friend who needs a multi-tool, I'd recommend it. If your friends' hands look huge and like they belong on a Muppet when they put on a medium-sized glove, hard pass on this for them, since they'll really struggle. Only large and extra large handed people should be reading this far. I removed a star because the spring action is a bit too strong for what it needs, and because hurting my hand from regular use sooner than the Leatherman ever did is not a good look for any tool with aspirations of replacing a Leatherman tool.
