Good thought John, not a problem for me as I am a Gear Junky and have lots of other tools/means on me.

I watched a few You-Tube video reviews on this multitool, most called it OK but it was best discribed as a "do'er of all, but master of none". This is because it is: thick, heavy, has a medium quality 1/2 serrated blade, low sound whistle, short/thin ferro rod and hard to find replacement flashlight batteries.

I think it would serve me best as a coat pocket back-up to my seperate, higher quality EDC items.

It will be a good Christmas gift to me from my kids as they never know what outdoor gear to buy their picky father.
