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!

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.

Black adjustable wrench one has some serious quality control issues. The one I got has burr on wire cutters, so pliers weren't pressed in fully and they have some slop to them as a result. Saw blade doesn't lock without assistance. Handles of the tool don't meet each other when folded so the tool lies slightly crooked. And the usual issue of an adjustable wrench having a lot of play not only in the sliding part (on all axis lol) but also in the wheel. I really can't recommend this tool for the price unless you have to have this exact set of tools in your pocket...

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.)

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.)

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.

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.

It's in rough shape, and doesn't look particularly good, but it's a fun curiousity.
