Swiss+TechST53130 Pocket Multi-Tool Kit (22-in-1) Tool with Wrenches, Allen Drivers (Single Pack)

Great tool to have at the office. Any loose screws or nuts, this tool has the capability to retighten almost anything

Ever since the first Leatherman multi-tool came out, I've been a huge fan of multi-tools in general. We used to be issued them in the military, and they were extremely useful. When I saw this Swiss+Tech tool I was very intrigued, the amount of tools, the price, and the profile being so flat, made me eager to try it out.After receiving it, it didn't take me long to realize this tool is mainly a driver. The main tools on this are the six screw drivers, the three Allen head drivers, a small hand drill, and the pliers. Also something that didn't occur to me when I ordered it, there's no knife. Although, there's 22 very useful tools, which include wire cutters, crimpers, 1/4" and 7/16" nut wrenches, rulers, bottle opener, among others. As for not having a knife, I carry a knife anyways, and the knives I carry do what knives are supposed to do much better than any multi-tool knife blade. So for me it's not an issue.The carry ability of this tool is refreshing. It's flat, it fits in a pocket very nicely, and it's not too heavy. If you don't have any pocket space anywhere, you can unfold the tool and clamp the pliers around a strap on a backpack, fold it back down and it won't be falling off until you unfold it. The tools all work fine, and the metal is strong enough that you can put a fair amount of torque on the tools and nothing bends or breaks. The pliers work really good, but when you're clamping the pliers down, squeeze evenly. If you torque the handles as you're squeezing, the handle arms tend to move out of alignment. I found that I can bear down and get more clamping pressure than my Leatherman pliers, so now I carry this with my leatherman. Very useful tool, I'm very happy with it.

I bought this as a thank you gift for someone who installed a headlight for me, thus saving me the trouble and expense of going to a mechanic. He does a lot of DIY projects on both his home and cars out of necessity ( he and his wife are old fashioned in that they decided she would be a stay-at-home mom). He used a little tool like this that I keep in my car to install the light and commented he once had a similar tool that he loved but it had been misplaced or someone permanently "borrowed" it -- in any case, he didn't have it anymore.He has used all of the little tools and says they work well and seem as if they will hold up well over time. He is very satisfied with the quality and loves the convenience of being able to keep it in his pocket at all times so it is readily available if he needs it. I am planning on buying another one or one very similar to it to keep in my tote bag. I want to research similar ones to decide if I want one with more and/or different tools. I at least know this company makes a quality product and will begin my search with them.

Great product

It just seemed perfect. Just not quite up to the task - steel is too soft. Not really a bugout item. Good enough for that drawer of stuff we all have.

This is a great multi-tool. The hinges seem sturdy after opening and closing them. They are not too tight to get them open and they are not loose enough that everything falls open. I keep this tool in the car. I don't have enough space for an entire tool box but this has just enough that between it and a roll of duct tape I should be okay in the face of a minor disaster.It would be a great tool to carry in your pocket if you were going to be out and knew you might need some tools. It fits in the pockets of my jeans easily, even the stupidly small pockets they insist on putting on some women's jeans. They only downside is that it is a little heavy for carrying in my pocket on a daily basis.

Extremely poor workmanship, especially compared to competitors like the Swiss Army tools. Tools are loose. Poor fitting. Only advantages are small size and cheap price.

So in my search for some small pocket tools, I took a chance on this guy. My indented purpose was to toss it in my range bag, as most of the tools present would easily resolve any issues that pop up while out shooting (fixing target stands, super basic maintenance like screws, basic punch functions, etc). Mostly, a traditional multi-tool gets used in these situations, but sometimes you just don't want to hand your ~$100 tool to the guy next to you who's gear looks like it's been maintained with rocks.That being said, there are some pros and cons with the Micro-Max XtremePros:- Grinds on the tools are satisfactory. Not super precise, but not nearly as rounded off as the ones on the smaller MicroMax 19.- Overall, the finish is better as well. There's still plenty of tool and casting marks, but the larger tool makes those less apparent- Pliers come together just fine, opening and closing isn't hampered by the terrible internal bottle opener on the smaller models- speaking of the bottle opener, it works. That's actually high praise for small multitools, honestly.Cons:- As with all the other current Swiss+Tech tools of this design, the rivets on the handles are significantly cheaper and thinner than the older tools from a few years ago. They don't have much "meat" to them, so when they inevitably get loose (very quickly) there isn't much you can do to tap them tight again- More handle rivet complaints. The mass of the tools easily overwhelms the tiny pivots. tools will flop around on you during use if you put some torque on them.- Calling this a pocket tool is... not entirely accurate. It's big. Like, not really comfortable in your pocket, hurts your ass if you sit on it big.So if I have these problems, why the high rating? Well, it is what it is: an OK tool for quick fixes when you don't have the right "real" tool handy, or you don't feel comfortable lending out the right tool for a quick and dirty job. It'll sit in the side pocket of my range bag, and one day when I need to twist some fence wire together on the target line, or tighten up the hex socket on my fore grip, it'll be there. It's not something I would EDC, but then I don't feel it's intended for that role.
