Swiss+TechST50022 Stainless Steel 6-in-1 Key Chain Multi Tool, Polished Finish (Single Pack)

Bought these as a gift for our nephews and they loved them. They serve as a great precursor to a pocket knife. It helps them to understand that what they are carrying around with them is a tool and not a toy. Also my nephews are tough on things and these pliers held up very well.

For it's small size, I was expecting it to be cheaper made than it is, especially since it only cost about $3. At a little over 1.5oz/46g, it's solid and put together well with rivets. With either or both screwdriver/handles folded up, it locks the pliers closed; There's no way it's opening unless you make the effort. And although small and expectedly awkward to use, it is functional. Given it's size, you'd expect the screwdriver bits to be small, but they're the more common #2 size. Not going to work on glasses or such, but still handy for most screws you'll find around the house or office if you don't have anything else. I tried the wire cutters and strippers on some thin speaker wire and it worked surprisingly well. The pliers grip well and you can turn with decent leverage as long as the nut or bolt isn't too big. There's even 1/8" measurement marks to....measure small things. Of course it's not going to replace real tools, but in a pinch would work. Would be ideal to keep on a key chain for those "never know when you need it" moments.I got it to keep in my bicycle's saddle bag to pull out thorns, etc., from the tires, but the pliers and screwdrivers could also come in handy. Would make a nice little gift or stocking stuffer too.

Works well enough for simple tasks but it's a little small. Had it taken away at Ninoy Aquino International Airport(Manila) on the way back to SFO even though I flew in with it, flew to another part of the Philippines, flew back to Manila to fly to Japan, flew back to Manila with it from Japan, and then going back to SFO, now they say they don't allow multi tools. Could just be they wanted the tool since it's so handy.

Very cool lil compact multi tool.... perfect for my edc....only what I need/use.

Summary: If it's always in your pocket, you may find a use or two for it. It's well put together and very small. There are better multi-tools out there at comparable prices; many in hardware-store checkouts.I purchased this to meet a price-point for free shipping.The tool is very small. Slightly smaller than 3x2 (six) of the keys on my very generic keyboard.The mechanism that locks the tool in place onto a ring or such (mine used to share a ring with a LED flashlight) is clever and can never come undone as long as the handles are holding it closed.The markers on the sides are not labeled, so if you forget the unit it's of little use. They're 1/8th of an inch but could be mistaken for centimeters or something else. A stamp on the side of the handle would've been nice.The pliers have a poor texture for holding onto many things, but the handles provide good leverage to pinch down on smaller objects, such as "...to extract a broken key from a lock." per NomDePlume.The flat-sided driver has a tip that is too narrow and "widens" so quickly that it hasn't fit anything "juuuust right" that I've run into yet.The Phillips-head driver is no better. The tip is very rounded, very, I suppose so it doesn't stab you in the leg in your pocket. The teeth increase in thickness too quickly for my liking.I recommend unfolding the pliers and fold in whichever handle you're not using as the driver. It's almost frustrating when the handles turn out-of-straight when you try to loosen a screw. A notch and nipple might've helped this.The shear is nice. I found it useful for trimming plastic pull-ties and the handles provide good leverage. It angles very sharply and it's difficult to keep whatever you're cutting in place, if it's loose.The wire-cutter is just a cut-out within the shear blades to keep the wire from sliding out of the shear. It works well for small, automotive wiring, but it won't strip them; the blades are too dull to cut the shielding without cutting the wire, even with a delicate hand. I prefer a vanilla razor blade.I think that about covers it. More thought went into this review (and subsequent trimming of it) than my purchasing the tool. I don't recommend buying this tool when compared with many other multi-tools out there, but if you've already got it or are a collector of small multi-tools, it's perfectly adequate.

The only part of this I use is the miniature pliers. They are perfect for removing tiny pieces of wire from bicycle tires. Shredded radial tire carcasses which people drive on until they disintegrate leave a lot of small bits of steel wire on the roads. Bike tires pick these up causing slow flats. To find these bits of wire, you have to run your fingers around the inside of the tire until you "feel" where the wire is, then pull the wire out. Fingernails don't work very well for this purpose, the rubber grips the embedded wire pretty tightly, but these tiny pliers have very nice flat jaws that come together tightly without gaps at the edge, making them perfect for pinching down on these tiny wires and pulling them out of the tire tread. These pliers are very small, light weight, rustproof, perfect for carrying on a bike, and VERY well made and polished, looking like they would be much more expensive than they are priced. Every bike rider I have recommended them to has been satisfied with them and had similar good experiences using them to fix flat tires. Recommended.

Muy buen producto. Material resistente, práctico de usar y muy portátil

It lays flat with my keys and isn't too heavy, but it's super sturdy. I do a lot of setup for AV jobs and use the screwdrivers and pliers all the time now. I still keep a Leatherman's in my jacket but this is always on me and works for 90% of the jobs. You'll still need a bigger pliers to grip stuck nuts. But for tightening camera and tripod parts it works great.
