[@NexTool168]

Hi Dominic, thank you for sharing Nextool Multitool. Here share you some information for your reference. 1, Black Knight: we have 2 version, one with liner lock for knife, and another without. Amazon US sale the one with liner lock. 2, Sailor Pro: we do under upgrade the lock design, but haven't finished. Let's looking forward to the refine. 3, Mini Flagship: As for the spring broken issue, we also upgrade, the production of new version will finished at the end of June. Enjoy the wonderful day.☺

[@ToolTechGeek]

Thanks for the update. Looking forward to seeing the stronger mini flagship when it launches.

[@GeorgiKushev]

I have a broken spring on the scissors handle on the full sized flagship pro.

[@user-wj1cq6og8y]

hi! great to see that your costumer service/devoloping team follows the reviews. as a mini flagship owner who likes it alot i have to agree with dominic about the need of material upgrade (aspecialy for the outer 3cr steel and the knife) as i said as a mini flagship owner (loved it) i would love to have the option of buying a new upgraded case that solve the breaking locking springs (like happend to me too) and not having to buy a whole new piece. thanx!

[@NexTool168]

​@@GeorgiKushev Hi, please contact the customer service through the platform you brought, then the representive would provide the soluction.

[@estevesgaivota6329]

​@@NexTool168thank you for great affordable multitools, it would be amazing if you could came out with a multitool as small as the Leatherman squirt or the Gerber dime.

[@JayMannStuff]

Hope they release a Mini Sailor Scissors in a LITE version, with SIM card removal tool and eyeglasses screwdriver, plus 1/4" driver. (Edit: please make it Bladeless for air travel, and to be able to take to blade-restricted work environments.)

[@billienomates1606]

Excellent vid. I am in the UK and I like that Blacknight Nextool has a slip joint blade, all I would do is snap off the lock for the saw and it is UK legal carry as I have done with many multitools I carry with just a slight tightening of the hinge screws.

[@DannyMancheno]

I love that you take nextool as seriously as leatherman. I only own a wave+ and a signal, but enjoy seeing your perspective on other companies/tools & mods. The competition, even in the clone market benefits all of us.

[@lucasherzer7128]

great to see the upgrade to the mini Sailor my key chain ring holder broke the Back of the philips driver so its hard too open now still usabel but great that its fixt in the new models

[@timb4425]

Would love to see them step up their steel! Fantastic idea and it would make them much more appealing to many.

[@1980JPA]

5:38 "Now the nex-tool we're going to talk about..."

[@astaschak]

I really like the idea of having an adjustable wrench. Most of my plier usage is for a quick snug or loosen of a small nut or bolt. Also having pliers too is pretty great for grabbing a stubborn auto fuse or stuck metal chip while machining something or grabbing something slightly out of reach or where you cant get your paws into. Having both seems like a super idea. Add in a decent outside blade and file with a good driver tool set like the leatherman rebar has and im sold for a work tool.

[@BrandonGavin_EDC]

I love that mini flagship.

[@uzbeck2006]

Good review, friend. 🎉

[@-tzadakim-7805]

Hopefully Nextool hears these critiques because I’m on board with your ideas.

[@blade9292]

My own mini flagship was unscrewing, I bought an other one and it's fine now.

[@min-hyunkim3949]

W2 is cool! I ordered one from Aliexpress a couple weeks ago.

[@ToolTechGeek]

Me too. I’m a fan of the W1, and now can’t wait to try the W2. I like how they have no problem designing totally different models, Got to imagine they will keep innovation going for a while.

[@Kage339]

If they put a replaceable scalpel blade instead of the current blade I think it would be even more useful

[@vevenaneathna]

@@Kage339 I was thinking of drilling a hole in a left over scalpel blade and replacing mine when i get it. it would be nice if it could use the larger scalpel blades too like #60 instead of the default #24. in surgery ive found the #40s to be most useful because of the double blade but not sure how that would work with opening it

[@larshoneytoast722]

4:19 black oxide finish doesn't affect the hrc as it's a chemical process. only baked on finishes such as pvd, dlc, cerakote, etc have any effect on the hrc

[@outahismind_]

Mini flagship needs the spring fixed and a pocket clip and it will replace my powerpint in a heartbeat.

[@MamboFerido]

Roxon Phantom beats the Flagship. I do have the mini flagship and love it.

[@garyk4017]

Thanks for your overview of these tools. It's a shame the Mini Flagship is so fragile. I bought mine because it has relatively big pliers and scissors in the same tool, unlike the Mini Sailor versions (original version with big pliers and small scissors, Scissors version with big scissors and small pliers). Nextool should swap any Mini Flagship with these defective, broken springs for a Mini Sailor or Mini Sailor Scissors as a good will gesture for their customers.

[@ToolTechGeek]

In some of their brochures they mention a warranty but not sure if it includes the smaller products or if it’s as straightforward to replace as with Gerber/Leatherman

[@NexTool168]

hi, as for the spring broken issue, we already upgrade, the production of new version will finished at the end of June. let's looking forward to the new version.🙂

[@garyk4017]

@@NexTool168 That's good, but it won't help me because I bought mine a year ago. I suppose it's only a matter of time until it breaks.

[@TuanAnhLeIV]

Man i wish this video of you came out a week earlier. I just got my flagship pro yesterday. I went with the dark version which happen to have nonlock blade. The seller did state that but i didn't notice.

[@ParkerBinion]

Great video! These are the bit adapters that fit the Victorinox in line Phillips. I love the W2 (from AE) and Black Wrench. The Black Wrench is in my toolbox and the W2 I EDC from time to time as needed. It's so thin, it disappears. I've ordered your TSA Sailor and looking forward to it.

[@NexTool168]

Thank you for your recognition.

[@blade9292]

My own black knight (the recent one) have both locking blades and I got the philips. The black knight is one of the best multitools from Nextool along with the W2. I wish they do a mix of these two. Wrench, pliers ,large scissors. Then short tools 3d philips, Awl, small flat An long tools File with large flat, Wood Saw, knife. It's a hard combo but it can be great.

[@Exane22]

We really need a good folding file for edc purposes. All of these multitool files seem to be lack luster.

[@JC_1095]

Even victorinox? Roxon’s Flex offers nice crosscut files and a nice double sided diamond file. you can even easily take them out since its modular

[@---Michael---]

A double sided file with diamond and cross cut in place of the saw would be my personal dream

[@NexTool168]

take it, I would forward to engineer, hoping they can refine further.

[@krystofmraz]

Datachable And able to sharpen the knife Is the goal for me here.

[@EverydayCarryConstitution]

Great review! I'm happy with my Mini Flagship so far -- really like having both the large scissors and large pliers. Could you do a video (or have you already done one) about how to add a pocket clip to a keychain multitool? Thanks!

[@unitedstatesirie7431]

interesting multi-tool video.

[@DuBheasaFilms]

Really wish that little adjustable wrench had a pocket clip

[@maxlvledc]

seems doable

[@DuBheasaFilms]

@@maxlvledc these remind me of the spiderco BYRDRENCH.

[@MrNb131]

That odd bit on the adjustable wrench looks a lot like a Chapman Mfg bit which would be surprisingly great.

[@wylinout2257]

Definitely in for the W2 when i can get it 👍

[@NexTool168]

Will lauched on Amazon as soon as possible, maybe on Jun, please wait for us.

[@daxomega007]

I ordered one on aliexpress

[@yodesuyo]

I like my black knight with screwdriver set and solid scissors

[@NexTool168]

Thank you for your recognition.

[@estevesgaivota6329]

The Gerber dime is the only one with proximeted size, but I do like the nextool E1 and the mini-sailor great value

[@pistolpeteu7413]

Good jobs 👌 knives are great 👍 for emgency or daily use.

[@Milkman4279]

Two months ago I was organizing my edc stuff, and my 9 year old daughter talked me into giving her my Leatherman Squirt. She lost it on a playground two days later.

[@tomasscott6414]

Really think Nextool has a good chance and they only need that steel upgrade to make them better. I have the Mini Flagship Pro; it hasn’t broken yet, but I do see its weakness.

[@FreedomFox1]

I like the Flagship Pro, but wish it were a bit lighter. If they can put a locking blade on the Dark Night, it would be perfect.

[@seqhorse]

W2 is close to an insta-buy for me but I do think a bladeless version would be nice - as stated the knife isn’t much anyway, so perhaps the slot could go to another tool (scissors, smaller flathead, the SIM extractor, the ol’ bottle opener, etc.)

[@paranoiia8]

Mini sailor is great beside Philips screwdriver that just suck. As for flagship additional tools... I actually removed them and put a full size driver bit from bibury multitool and I keep there that short double side Philips/flat bit 😅

[@nelistheron83]

Multiverse! YES!!!!!

[@justafellerwithnoprofilepi4546]

I got the flagship mini recently and I just wasn't impressed with the fit and finish. It just didn't feel very good, which was very dissapointing because the idea of full-sized scissorsand pliers was so alluring. I returned it and went for the SOG Powerpint instead. It's pretty far from keychain sized, it has no large scissors, and it still didn't feel as quality as something from victorinox or leathermen, but I really like it. It has been my EDC for a few weeks and I've been very impressed.

[@bushforme]

Ive learning a lot watching this channel..would be great when showing new tools with a saw blade if you could compare it to a SAK saw..i use my saw a lot and Im betting most of your viewers have a SAK so it would give a "standard " sort of? Thanks again for your channel and knowledge on these things!

[@maxlvledc]

its no where as good as an sak saw.

[@bushforme]

@@maxlvledc not just that tool..any tool with a saw ..compare them to a SAK

[@StarDarkAshes]

I think I know what my next tool is going to be.

[@kathleensmith370]

I have a mini sailor, but I think I need a larger nextool

[@1980JPA]

Since my multitool sees a bit more abuse than my pocket knife i would love a 9cr blade. On knives I don't mind D2, but as you said, 9cr for the win on multitools if time and money is taken to upgrade.

[@larshoneytoast722]

23:05 "you can really go down on this" 😅

[@krystofmraz]

Honestly, awesome pliers and scisors along with decent blade is all i need in a multitool. Never saw such combination in any other tool which is why i consider these multitools just the best. I dont care for better materials or craftmanship on letherman or gerber etc ... As long as they will deliver such combination.

[@rickys7435]

Needed a decent screwdriver, maybe saw depending on what your doing

[@bobbymills4476]

Try the Nextool Flagship Captain next please?

[@TheInflicted]

You ought to take a look at the "Knight" (not black Knight) halftool.

[@gshockhodinky]

👍

[@Emrullah_BASER]

I'm using mini sailor plier version in my keychain for 1 years. Now i am thinking switch to mini sailor scissor version because of file.

[@franticflintstone7999]

My problem with the Mini Sailor (pliers version) is that the tab to get the scissors out always breaks my fingernail. If I use the scissors a lot this becomes a big annoyance and it makes me hesitant to use the scissors as much as I'd like. (Note: I have the Otacle/Olight branded version, but I assume it's the same). (BTW: I'm looking at the Mini Sailor Scissors version as an alternative and I noticed that the one from Otacle has the can opener whereas the one from NexTool has the miniature pliers. Haven't seen that pointed out before.)

[@EveryDayToolsEDT]

Can you do a vid for roxon? Thanks!

[@eddiemoore1717]

Can NexTool provide a date when we can purchase the updated Mini Flagship?

[@TMS5100]

The mini flagship is killer, destroys just about every other mini multitool for the scissors alone. They neatly filled the huge chasm left by leatherman abandoning the squirt.

[@augmentationstation]

the scissors (at least on the one i got) are trash honestly... so much slop that you have to apply pressure conciously on one side to get them to cut at all and the screwed pivot backs out making adjustment short lived

[@sztaylor89]

Any news on that new nextdoor multitool displayed at shot show this year with the extra beefy scissors

[@maxlvledc]

None yet

[@kylethedalek]

I donno what to do, get a second hand Leatherman or Gerber. A new one (thinking for the knife less model.) Or get a budget Tool, but brand new leatherman Bonds aren’t much more than some budget tools. I’m even thinking of a second hand Wave and just taking the blade off. So I have a cheaper “safe to carry everywhere” tool. Is there mods to replace the blade?

[@kylethedalek]

Also thinking of folding utility blade, and modifying on to non locking. Also would the leatherman T4 be easy to make non locking ?

[@rickanthony5147]

W2❤

[@thedogbarber]

Leatherman has left the chat.

[@kermitthepog7063]

If Nextool started using 9cr they'd blow every competition out of the water, they'd be at that Victorinox and Leatherman level imo. Edit: well, almost 😂

[@GadzeciarzE.D.C]

Have you tried transferring a bit holder to the Nextool Flagship Pro? You don't know which multitool will fit?

[@uzbeck2006]

The last tool, does it or it should have a nice pouch to keep the tool and bits in it.

[@maxlvledc]

it does already.

​@@larshoneytoast722What that ssys is that you watch a lot of knife and edc reviewers on KZbin...

[@griftgfx]

Only tried the flagship mini, and while I liked the design, the handle springs are incredibly weak. That thing broke from no use, just opening and closing. Tempted to give them another chance, but it definitely soured me on the brand a little. Edit: I found a really old adjustable wrench multitool among my grandfather's things. It's in rough shape, and doesn't look particularly good, but it's a fun curiousity.

[@ToolTechGeek]

Vintage tools are quite interesting, sometimes turns out that some ideas are older than we realize.

Seems easy to mod.

[@bereadyeveryday6764]

@@maxlvledc well sure I could do it myself, but where's the fun in that when I could just have them build a new one like the other one that I just bought on your recommendation. I'm really excited for Thursday by the way. The W2 would probably be worth modifying to travel with simply because I've had to deal with more loose nuts on the road than any other problem

[@shanegaming2446]

[@JavierGonzalez-en5kn]

The one that bothers me most is the flagship captain. Like they want to do another wave clone, ok. They nail it with the 4 big uses, big scissors instead of second blade, cool. And then they absolute turn it into a brick by messing with the small uses: no locks, propietary bit driver, can opener, flat head is small, no precision drivers...
