Multitool, 29-in-1 Multitool Pliers with Replaceable Wire Cutters and Saw, Heavy-duty Stainless Steel Multi-tool Set and Nylon Sheath for Camping Survival multi tool for Man

A number of different companies are making these Leatherman clones. Bibury, Daicamping, SwissTech, Nextool. I previously got the Bibury Surge clone and gave it as a gift. I have the Rocktol 12 in 1 pocket multitool and love everything about it, so when it came time to get a Surge clone for myself, I went with Rocktol again. While the Bibury was definitely good for the price, its fit, finish and action was noticeably inferior to my Leatherman. This one on the other hand, is scary good. Because the Leatherman is a Leatherman, USA made, and 4x the price, I will assume it is still better, more durable perhaps, and with a better warranty. But initial impression I see no obvious difference in quality. Fit and finish is excellent, action is smooth, all the tools lock up perfectly. And the 1/4” bit driver is far superior to the Leatherman driver and its proprietary slim bits. The bits included with the Rocktol are retained with a ball detent, but I will be epoxying a magnet into the driver and using my Wiha double ended bits. With a magnet installed, my Leatherman ratchet driver and bit driver extender will plug in no problem. Or you could get hex end bit driver extenders and a hex end 711 ratchet for much cheaper than what Leatherman charges.One thing I would change, and this applies to all of these Chinese clones, is the sheath. It’s junk. There are large cutouts on the sides of the sheath that expose the tool to dust, dirt, moisture etc., and you won’t be able to put anything else in the main pocket without the risk of them falling out. The small elastic pocket on the front of the sheath that contains the bits does not seem very secure while at the same time making it awkward to take the bit card out, which is always snagging. There are no extra internal pockets. The side pockets are not elastic like on a Leatherman, but nylon, and one of them is stitched mostly closed so that it can only contain the Torx Allen key for disassembling your tool and a small ziplock baggie with your spare wire cutter blades. If you really want to replicate a Leatherman kit with bits, flashlight, ratchet, and t-shank accessories, you will not be able to do it with this sheath. Certainly not a deal breaker as there are plenty of affordable options out there, but since these Chinese companies have done such a good job of duplicating a Leatherman at 1/4 of the price, it seems it shouldn’t be too hard to provide a better sheath.I cannot guarantee that you will have the exact same experience as me. You may get a Bibury that is better than the one I got, or a Rocktol that is not quite as perfect as mine. At these prices the quality control may not be as exacting as that of a US company selling a $150 tool. But I am very impressed and also a little worried for Leatherman. These companies are beating them at their own game and responding more quickly to customer demand and feedback. When a tool isn’t working quite right, they fix it. They include bits, spare saw blades and wire cutters, all for 1/4 of the price. Bibury sells a spare parts and accessories kit that fits exactly with this Rocktol. I got it solely for the t-shank scalpel holder which I modded to fit my Surge, but Leatherman should already be offering accessories like this if they want to stay competitive. I recently snagged one of their ratchet drivers after waiting over a year for it to be back in stock and seeing it go on ebay for upwards of $250. That is unacceptable. Someday soon one of these Chinese companies might make their own ratchet driver and put it out there for $12-15, and always have it in stock. I’m all for buying American, but it is also a buyer’s market. If customers are made to fight tooth and nail for your products, they will go elsewhere as soon as they are able.

I was not 100% sure I wanted to switch away from Leatherman, but after getting this knife I'm glad I did. I've used Leatherman for decades now, and didn't think twice about it. This Rocktol is so much more solid of a tool though. The Leatherman was a strong tool, but sometimes I wondered about damaging it in some of the work I did. I doubt that will occur with this tool though. It is heavy, but worth it to me.

Bought it for my husband he was so happy with his new toy. Hope that it work good.

I've had a long history of buying multi tools and putting them through their paces. I've had expensive ones disappoint me and cheap ones surprise me. when I bought my first tool from this company, I was expecting a cheap knockoff so I aired on the side of caution and got the simpler version. it didn't have the all the replaceable parts. when it came I was wrong and was very impressed. so impressed that I bought this version... not once but twice. why? it did everything I asked of it and more.it became a mainstay of my job and was something I couldn't see myself without.Unfortunately, one day the tool slipped from my hand, fell onto my work mat (under which was concrete) and a bolt that hold the tools on it broke. I'd buy a replacement if I could since the tool served me so well. I could even use some adaptors for sockets to put bolts in. Very handy and worth every penny.

this is a great replacement for my leatherman surge its an almost exact clone with just a few slight differences 1 the steel frame is just a tiny bit thinner wont effect the strength of the tool. 2 the blades are the same length as the leatherman the small difference is the serrated blade does not have the little griper cut outs on the back so you cant tell which blade your getting with out looking (easily fixed with my dremel). 3 the pliers are shaped a bit different but I like the shape. 4 the scissors are a bit longer which is nice. 5 only problem I found in the first week of having them is the bit holder does not hold the bits very well even tho they have a little spring loaded ball, theres not detent inside the holder for it to lock into so it will fall out. I already lost the phillips head bit. but I fixed that issue by putting a small magnet as shown in the picture to catch the bit if it comes out. also because the bits included are double ended the bit holder is deep so regular bits set to deep in to be used. if thats my only issue I think this is a great replacement for the leatherman at 1/3 the price, leatherman surge $150, roxtool 50 and comes with 10 double ended bits 2 saw blades and replacement carbide cutting heads all those are extra with the leatherman pushing its price over 200 so yeah this is a very budget friendly tool if you need one buy it you wont be sorryupdate 7/13/24 so Ive had this tool now for a few weeks and its not to bad but some other issues are the spring bar on the scissors keeps popping over the handle making it a pain in the ass if cutting for more than 3 or 4 snips the replaceable saw/file blade has a very unreliable locking clip and I have lost the file because it came undone and I havent figured out a way to fix that problem yetnot to sure I wold buy it again but if your on a budget its for sure a good replacement for the leatherman just watch out for things like the saw/file blade and the driver bits falling out
