The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Cons

There were nicks on the pliers and scuffing on the finish of the tool in general. The metal is nicked and scored and generally worn. Liner locks very hard to use. Medium screwdriver too thick.

It badly needs lubrication which should have been done before selling. Started rusting after only a day of use in rainy conditions. It had obviously been restocked in some fashion.

The handle is so rough that it will wear a blister in your palm, if you can even grip this slippery tool. The saw blade is pretty thin. A thumb nail isn't enough to dig it out & you need to reach in and grab it with your fingers.

This product is pretty much rubbish. Also, this isn't something i want to share, but for transparency i will add it. It’s a great multitool until it breaks. The box say oregon proudi don't want to waste time your time.
