ROCKTOL Multitool Pliers, EDC Multitool Pocket Knife VG10 Blade, 27-in-1 Multi-tool with Titanium-plated Handle, Precision Screwdriver, Gut Hook for Hunting, Backpacking, Hiking, Camping, (Gen-R)

This is a very sharp and reliable tool. It's very well built. And it was moderately priced. And I think has all the durability and options. The expensive ones have 4 the price It has many tools and is strong

Best EDC for the money and for the Common Man. I was one of the first tool salesmen to sell the first Leatherman back in the '80s, but was never one to have an EDC myself - until I found myself always looking for a tool in recent years. This hits the sweet spot; not too big, not too small. Not too expensive, not too cheap. The main blade is one of the best types of steel, VG-10. The scissors aren't just a cheap add-on but a big reason to choose this. It's got a proper jeweler's screwdriver, reversible Phillips and slotted at that. Both the saw and the 'rip' blades are seriously capable, the hex driver and extra bits better than many dedicated drivers, and the file - not to mention the usual can/bottle opener, wire stripper, large flat blade, the pliers head with replaceable wire cutters and visible measurements on the rounded handle are extremely well machined. The titanium-coated handle makes it smooth, cool and comfortable to the touch and the clip makes it the perfect size and weight. It's got that "IT" factor and IMHO is probably the best EDC knife out there, and I did a lot of research before settling on it. Glad I waited for it to come back in stock.

I'll get right to it. This is a really nice hybrid clone of the Wave and Free P4/Arc, that could be great if they made some minor changes. The machining and finish is really nice, much better than some other knock offs. So far this is the only one I'd actually consider almost good enough to use everyday at work - for light duty. What they really SHOULD do to improve this: - its too heavy, needs to drop some weight. It feels almost as heavy as my Surge and the weight is all in the frame. It's unnecessary and uncomfortable to wear. The weight "feels" like it's in all the wrong places compared to a real Leatherman. - the knife blades are too thin for their length. Just make them a little thicker. This is not where you should be shaving weight. - the pocket clip needs to either be moved to the other half of the frame - on the same side it's currently on - or redesigned completely. It would be much better to change it to a deep carry pocket clip with a "U" bend on the top (like a real Leatherman. I mean, you went this far copying it, why stop at the pocket clip) . The way it is now, it interferes with trying to to deploy the serrated blade in a serious way. Make it a deep carry clip and get the end away from finger hole on the knife. - loose the smooth beveled edges around the holes that deploy the knives. Making the edges LESS machined and keeping a hard edge (not sharp) will give your fingers more grip to deploy the knives - or just switch to thumb studs. Those holes are way too smooth and don't let the meat on your fingers grip the edges enough to easily deploy the knives. The pocket clip interference on the serrated blade makes this issue even worse. - loose one or two of the inboard tools, and fatten up the ones that remain. Make the most usable tools thicker. They are all thin and don't inspire any confidence that they won't immediately break on the first hard job. - the lock on the saw blade sticks open sometimes and slides a little too far out when engaged. If it "snaps" open, it jams, and its really hard to get closed. - there are NO SAFETY LOCKS to keep both knives from deploying when the pliers are open. Not the end of the world - but they would be nice. These are on every Leatherman tool I have, as a safety device. Someone, somewhere - is GOING to manage to cut the tip of their own finger off. All that said - I paid like $45 for this. The quality IS impressive - for the price - when you see the difference between these and the $30 competition. There are still some small changes that could greatly improve these. I have almost every well know model of Leatherman, including the Wave Plus, the Free P4 (basically the Arc) and the new Alpha among others. This clone -HONESTLY - is still not as nice, nor would I trust it as much. The knives are really thin. There's not a whole lot of metal there. Too thin for their length - and the size/weight of the frame makes you feel like you can subject this tool to hard use. It's a false sense of security. The scissors are (cough) 'copied' off the Wingman, - but the thump rest has sharp edges and is not bent over enough. They are downright painful to use. There doesn't seem to be any real detent to keep the knife blades "locked down" when stored and this allows the knives to lift up from their stored positions. The serrated blade lifts up enough that the gut hook can be completely exposed and catch on things. If I had to come up with an analogy to express what this tool is - here's what I decided on : Imagine a Chinese company cloned a Dodge Ram. It looks almost just as good, and drives down the road comfortably commuting to work. You watch the demos and see the social media people pushing it as a great alternative (cause they get paid to make reviews that are actually commercials). Everything seems fine, until you actually start doing "truck stuff" with the Dodge Ram Clone. Then the 4 cylinder Honda Accord engine and transmission used to power it, starts to show short comings. It was perfectly fine to drive back and forth to work - but wasn't actually meant to tow trailers or go off road like a real Dodge Ram. That's exactly what THIS tooI is. It looks good and will work fine under light, maybe even light moderate use for its size and class. The frame being so heavy, leads me to think it was done on purpose - to add weight and give the impression of "heavy duty". The weight conceals the fact ALL the tools are really thin. I have decades of use on some Leatherman's, and I won't be grabbing this instead of my Wave Plus anytime soon. I'd still suggest going with a Leatherman Wingman or at least TREATING this like a Wingman - which is a smaller, lighter duty, entry level "full size" multi tool. At least on the Wingman, the drivers on that are thick and hefty. Going back to my earlier point - the Leatherman Wingman COULD accommodate a longer main blade, but the knife is shorter BECAUSE the blade is so thin and slicey. They didn't make it longer just to help sell it, knowing it would be more prone to failure that way. The real deals ARE worth the money. Even a better buy if you find a used model in good shape. BUT - if you insist, or just WANT one these - its pretty decent for the money and seems perfectly capable of being used to a lower limit of a real Leatherman. I would not push these beyond simple, easy tasks. Break a blade on these and now you have a useless tool. Break a blade or the frame on a Leatherman and they will replace it for free under a 25 or 40 year warranty. If you wanna buy once and be done, - get a Leatherman. Wanna KNOW they can really be used as a - tool beyond cutting tape and opening boxes - get a Leatherman. This is not a tool that belongs with a eletrican or tradesman on a job. It belongs in a glovebox, a kitchen drawer, a tackle box, ect. It's really just the truth,despite some people not wanting to admit it. In a few months the extra money you spent on a real Leatherman won't even be a thought and you'll appreciate the quality every time it's used. Theres a REASON why everyone is coping the Wave Plus. It's the best platform made. Side by side - You will IMMEDIATELY notice the difference the extra money bought you. That's not a biased opinion, it's just a fact. This is not a Wave or Leatherman REPLACEMENT. Its a Wave or Leatherman ALTERNATIVE - for someone who wants "something instead of nothing" because a real Leatherman is just outside their budget OR wouldnt buy one to begin with. It's something instead of nothing for the kitchen drawer. BUT - these seem pretty good for $45. DEFINITELY better than other knock offs. Don't even bother with the real cheap ones. LASTLY - the review appearing under mine (at least on my screen) is ABSOLUTELY a fake review. To make the statement that "they invested a years worth of research and this knock off is BETTER than All the name brands - Leatherman, Gerber, SOG" - is an outright lie. I reported that as a fake review. Don't lie to people "Larry B."

This tool is a very well made pocket toolbox that will help you have a tool when you need one. The main blade is very sharp and made of good steel for a price under 50 dollars. it is a quarter of the price for a leather man tool which is probably better but we can't really be sure of it since this Rocktrol is very nice itself and will last forever if you take care of it. The main blade is VG10 Steel and is very nice in size and sharpness standards. That steel is upper mid grade at least and will last a lifetime if you don't totally abuse it. It came very sharp and all I did was strop it on my leather sharpener case to make it shaving sharp with very little effort. The tool comes with a nice sheath and it has 3 additional double sided bits for the screw driver tool. That is something I have never seen from any other vendor's products. I am a retired AST from the Coast Guard and this would be a very nice addition to anyone's survival bag. All tools lock into place when pulled out fully for use and it takes a second to push in on a liner lock extension to fold tool back into place. I got this on a whim to check it out and compare to my leather man tools and this tool is just as good and even better in some aspects, such as it has titanium protectors on both sides of the tool to protect against damage or scratches. I have not noticed any of either happening to my new tool. After using for a couple weeks it is well worth the money you will spend on one and it even went down anther 6 bucks so if you get one it's only 44 bucks right now.

I purchased one liked it and purchased another. It is very sturdy and has a nice blade. It is significantly cheaper than a Leatherman. The case is actually well-made, way better than my Gerber‘s case. If you don’t wanna sell out the money for a Leatherman, or can’t afford one this is an excellent alternative. The blades being on the outside, make it very usable while it is closed. VG10 blade is sharp, and locks secure.

This is the tool!! It has everything you’ll need in a pinch on a daily basis. I like the jeweler’s screw driver. Very good to have! I also pull it out and use it as a toothpick!! I love the VG-10 blade and the scissors are a good size and pretty rugged. I’ll be carrying this one for many years to come!

This is a solid, well made tool that is comfortable to hold when it is in use. I see this is listed on the product page as being a frequently returned item. The only thing with mine was it was pretty tight out of the box, and the torx screws on the pivot and handles were way too tight. The pocket clip was really in the way, mostly because it would hand up on the supplied sheath and be a pain the holster after use. I had to remove mine. That was when I found out that the clip was mounted what I consider backwards. By this I mean that the two handle screws are both two piece and the clip was mounted on the female side of the screw, which means you have to wind up with a laborious reassemble project, as that fat end of the screw has to come out to get the clip off. If the screw was placed the other way with the male end at the pocket clip it would be easy to just remove the small male screw to expose the clip which can be easily removed and the screw reinstalled. The sheath in general is pretty worthless as the tool will hang up on the interior bit pocket when you try to reinsert the tool after use. I threw it away. I would personally like to see a T-shank adapter where the blade is. The above aside, I really like the tool. The blade seems to be the real deal. Comes out of the box sharp enough for surgery. This what I use when I want something a little smaller than a Surge style tool.

Beautifully machined. Not for heavy duty but enough for daily usage. Flat screw driver and can opener are a bit too thin. I heard complaints of them bending with light usage. The flat screw driver is redundant since it has replaceable flat bit. They can remove it and leave space for thickening other tools like the can opener
