Brand New SwissTech 15-in-1 Multi-Tool Sinks Leatherman?

[@usernameisusername]

My wife wanted to thank you for contributing to the amount of packages showing up at our house this year.

@@hvacbudget8600 my gf doesn't understand it but so far has accepted that I'm collecting them. It all started because she needed a multitool for work and couldn't afford a leatherman

i just got my arc as a christmas gift ! the evil plot worked! thanks for the share! stay awesome!

[@hvacbudget8600]

Nice! That's a great gift!

[@mattyvlietstra5017]

I think with that type of lock you can actually partially open another tool to unlock to close the tools

[@Spanky8402]

Looks like a good multitool. I would kinda say this is like the Rebar and the Free Series had a baby, but it came out as a Chinese baby. It is cool. I hope you have a great Christmas.

[@hvacbudget8600]

Thanks! Have a great Christmas too! Very interesting word picture!

When two pure-bred Americans have a Chinese baby is kinda NOT COOL bro )

[@jeffhaas9577]

I'd like to see you use this for a while, and then come back and give us a field report. How did it hold up in use?

[@hvacbudget8600]

Great Idea!

[@jeffhaas9577]

@@hvacbudget8600 Glad you like it. Call the segment, "It's cheap...but is it any good?" And then do this now and then for the various multitools.

[@mightbesherwood1313]

Curious about that Phillips adaptor - where's that from, and would it work on a Super Tool? Leatherman's $35 adaptor kit feels like a lot, especially given that I'd be using 1/4 inch anyway.

[@hvacbudget8600]

I believe it does work on the Supertool 300 rebar etc. Many cheap overseas multi tools come with these sets. SOG and Gerber and Leatherman sell them separately for about the $30 mark. Leatherman may have a cheaper just adapter you can buy separately. This came from a cheap multi tool with adapter set.

[@D2G10]

5 months later - got it for $17 on Aliexpress. 7 days of shipping. This is what I call value.

[@hvacbudget8600]

That is awesome!!!

Is swiss tech a company that uses the name "swiss" to gain implied quality while being manufactured in chinwo china?

[@hesitate1726]

They said "business promotion" and never elaborated why

[@richardsullivan1776]

Mr. Kincaid, I like the tool set of the Swiss Tech 15-1. No generic tools and no delicate, flathead micro drivers that you have damaged in the past. I never get sick of hearing about the Leatherman Arc or Leatherman products, period. Please keep talking. Could I ask you for a FAVOR? Could you do a video on the SOG Powerpint or a community post about the CAN OPENER? I can't get it to function, the way it should. It practically works but not enough to open the lid of the can. I can't find anything specifically on any video expect SOG knives. They show it cutting backwards. Sometimes it cuts backwards and forwards but for the most part its, inefficient. I opened a can of Popeye's spinach with it the other day. The density of the metal was softer opposed to a can of Corned Beef Hash. I used it rocking backwards and it crimps and cuts the softer material okay. The denser the material it just bends the crimps the metal. This is the second can opener I've ever had a problem with. The Leatherman Juice can opener is a different design with comparable results. I really like this SOG Powerpint but the can opener thus far is disappointing. The scissors are okay, they cut paper. They cut jagged and feather the paper but good enough to snip small diameter twine. This is really the second multitool I really like with the Paratool, outside of Leatherman. In all honesty. Any advice or feedback is greatly appreciated. Merry Christmas "KIND KINCAID".

[@hvacbudget8600]

Sure! Sounds like a good idea for a video!

[@richardsullivan1776]

@@hvacbudget8600 thank you sir, I like the can opener implement on multitools, its one of my favorites, most used implements and underappreciated in a country of pull tab cans. What fun is that, lol!

[@Everything_Multi-tool]

I have a workpro version from the same manufacturer apparently and it’s pretty neat

[@hvacbudget8600]

Nice!

[@micchow7381]

How is the knife blade? Mine the metal is too soft and cannot hold a sharp edge.

[@theartofprepping]

Neat product! Thanks for the heads up 👍

[@hvacbudget8600]

Thanks!

[@WinstonWilliamsofficial]

I wonder if that ozark trail pocket clip can be transferred to the swiss tech?? 🤔 😊

[@hvacbudget8600]

Maybe so.

[@jtg_edc]

I was wondering if you've come across the NexTool 19in1...they call it the Flagship Captain. The one thing that jumps out about it is that it takes Leatherman flat bits. What's your thoughts on that?

[@hvacbudget8600]

I did review it a couple months ago, but the inside tools don't lock. Some of the bits interchange with Leathermans but not all. I was a bit underwhelmed due to the non locking inner tools. And I also prefer 1/4" drivers. It's ok otherwise

[@jtg_edc]

@@hvacbudget8600 Oh... I must have missed that video but yeah I'm with you.. I'd rather have a 1/4" bit driver too.

[@MrNamdang2011]

You got you pay for. Leather Man multi tools are still the best.

[@Baggytrousers27]

Have to ask; does pushing the tools inward disengage the lock, à la the GOAT?

[@hvacbudget8600]

It doesn't seem to but pulling another implement out slightly does like some of Leatherman's earlier tools or the SOG PowerPint

[@PoorWays]

Unbelievable value! You can literally buy 20 of them to 1 Arc? I'm gonna get buy it, throw it in mud, rain, use it for a doorstop and I bet it'll work day in and day out. Really wish an American could make one though.

[@hvacbudget8600]

I know!

[@mattyvlietstra5017]

What do you think is the best "one handed opening tool" I've had a stroke and my left side doesn't work well

[@hvacbudget8600]

Sorry to hear that! The Leatherman Free series are designed to be easily accessible so the P2,P4 and the Arc are good options. The Gerber CenterDrive and MP600 are great with that out the front pliers. Cheaper options might be Roxon which is really working on accessible tools with levers that make tools easier to use. Oddball tools like the Sog switchplier make pliers deploy at the push of a button. A lot of options.

[@mattyvlietstra5017]

@@hvacbudget8600 being stuck bored at home all the time is what got me into collecting multitools. Yeah the centredrive is great as is the roxon phantom and sog powerlitre. I'd love the sog switchplier

[@hvacbudget8600]

@mattyvlietstra5017 Hopefully you can find a good one on ebay at a great price.

[@mattyvlietstra5017]

@@hvacbudget8600 hope so. I still see them pop up on ali express. As well as a few of their models. There's a few I want. Can never have too many right?

[@micchow7381]

It looks like Workpro rebranded their 16-im-1 multitool under their SwissTech brand. Is the knife blade better? I picked up the Workpro one back on 2022 for a trip as a cheap tool, in case the TSA wanted to take it. The Workpro version knife blade is horrible and no matter how much sharpening you do, it does not hold an edge.

[@hvacbudget8600]

I'm not sure. Just got this tool. I plan to add a Free series pocket clip to it and then start carrying it.

[@swissturbine]

The finish looks a bit rough, and the "Swiss" is just bait.

[@Quadrille763]

The arc is too expensive leatherman is overreaching

[@Riki-eu1zt]

Aircraft mechanic 23 yrs, Proprietary screw bits are a no go for me. I’d buy an ARC if it had a stout Phillips driver. Do better Leatherman

That's one step closer to a Chinese arc clone. Huge deal for us Europeans

[@scottfergusson8411]

How can you say it’s any good if you only do a table top review….. and not use any of the tools for anything??? I’ll put any of my leathermans ( time tested ) up against any other multi tool…

[@hvacbudget8600]

I've been carrying the tool for work since the review. Plan to do an update soon. I usually try to do a first glance review and then a longer term review on tools that are worth it.
