These reviews of budget tools are great. But beyond an unboxing, a great idea would be to test then to destruction. Use a torque wrench or whatever, see where their limits are, versus LM or the other big names. Because nobody is surprised to see a good feature set in a cheap tool. What will be surprising is durability.

Got to go with the green model. The real benefit I see is you can buy 3 or 4 of them for the price of one Leatherman then distribute them around where needed. For me that would be the car, workshed, office, retreat . . . so carrying them around is not an issue.

Honestly I am a big fan of workpro tools. If your ever looking for a good screwdriver I really recommend workpro's 12 in 1 ratcheting screwdriver. It's by far the best screwdriver I have ever had and reminds me of tools from the 90s with how clean the ratchet works on that screwdriver. Sure they are cheap tools but are usually high quality for the price. For example I recently bought a cheap socket wrench set for 12 bucks because my old one broke. And in comparison to the set that my boss paid 50+ on from husky. it preforms miles apart due to the husky set didn't even have a full sized wrench and had fewer options in terms of sockets and extenders. The only plus the husky has it slightly heavier sockets than the workpro wrench.

[@jhill4874]

$32 as of today, but still a decent price. I agree about the "quality" vs "price" issue. I lose knives way too often. So I buy knives in the $7 to $12 range (Harbor Freight). I can buy 10 knives for the price of one "quality" knife. If I lose one of those I am irritated, but not crushed.

I just do not consider SOG cheap, but they also belong and are a personal favorite of mine, along with victorinox. The Blackfire had a solidity to the tool set that you could see. This WorkPro looks, from your video, to be a real solid effort. It really stands out if they cast the blade in a superior steel!

[@Heikki_Finland]

There may be a purpose why Leatherman has that pinch point. If you squeeze too hard, it makes contact to stop it before the plier breaks.

[@miker252]

About a year ago, I put my Leatherman Sidekick away and started carrying the better designed Ozark Trail Multiforce. The one Multiforce feature I don't like is the #1 phillips bit and the difficulty of economically obtaining matching bits. After viewing this video, I bought one of these Workpro tools. While I much prefer the screwdrivers, the wire cutters, on the one I received, are poorly machined. The painted chassis, with its sharper edges, while better than the Sidekick, the grip is not as comfortable as that on the Workforce . I'm am considering replacing the bit holder in the Multiforce with the three drivers from the Workpro. That being said, the Workpro is still a great tool at an extremely competitive price.

[@stuartspern]

When I received this WorkPro 18-in-1 multitool (purchased after this particular, enthusiastic review), found that the outer implement wood saw wouldn't lock into position - all other tools , both external and internal, DID lock firmly into position. The only way to get the woodsaw line lock to engage was to use a screwdriver to force it over, and repeated attempts to do this to wear in the lock face were fruitless. I started a return to exchange for a replacement, but wouldn't receive it until mid February 2024 at earliest, and it being end of December, and the original faulty multitool having to be returned by Feb 1, 2024 to avoid being charged for the replacement, I figured this wouldn't end well if left to chance so I disassembled the end of the multitool securing the woodsaw, and (lightly) filed both the liner lock and the woodsaw blade tang to get them to positively engage (after which I cancelled the return). * In the repair process discovered that the woodsaw has exquisitely sharp teeth, and so baptized the multitool with arterial blood from a few cuts on my thumb.

I'm always curious about the "squeeze test" .I'll always remember this cheap multi-tool I used where I squeezed it someone hard and the handles simply bent together, basically making the pliers useless after that point.

I have one of the earlier Leatherman’s. It might be the wave; it’s the one that had a nice compact leather belt case. At that time I think if I paid around $40 for it. I happened to be looking and it was no longer carried but not that long ago they made the exact same one as an anniversary limited issue. That was $100. The best part though even as I still have that one I ran into something at a summer flea market that caught my eye. There was a Leatherman Clip that was sitting marked $8 or $10. I asked the guy if that was right and he said yes. He answered before I asked what was wrong with it. He explained and I looked. Someone had dinged up the end of the fine screwdriver and broke the very tip off the end of the clip blade. I grabbed that. Took it home and did a little dressing with the dremel & fine cutting disk. Presto. Good as new and didn’t cost an arm and a leg. I always liked my original as it was compact in my pocket and used for fishing.

[@albertusrahadionastoto257]

I was intrigued by you saying that the wave type would pinch when you use the pliers but I think it's about locking the blade so that it won't puncture your hand though I think it would less likely to do so since the pointy bit is at the back side. It would be great if you would test the liner lock on when it has already worn down to keep the blade closed when you use the pliers. Interesting video by the way!

I bought the green multitool after seeing tour video and Hvac budget. I compared it in action Witherspoon my leatherman wave +. Most tools function ok but the pliers are a disaster. It won’t cut through even plastic straps, the pivot in the plier head gets crooked. It didn’t cut electric cable either, the only thing it did manage to cut was a thin metal wire. The pliers gets stuck and must be bent apart again. If I have a bad copy, than the QC is very bad or else the quality in general is bad. I’d rather pay five times more for a tool that oozes quality and functions when I need it. With that said, it has some interesting functions and has potential. I would recommend the manufacturers though to put more money in steel quality and quality control. The pliers should be able to cut electric cable!

I currently carry a Leatherman Skeletool. This looks way more functional at half the price.

[@Traderjoe]

It’s $29 on Amazon as of December 23rd,2023

Still using my Leatherman Super Tool I bought in '93. I do not like their newer tools. I may have to check these out.

[@Skobeloff...]

Oddly the 'multitool' section of their website is completely empty even though the banner photo is of multitools... I find it hard not to judge companies by how badly they manage their websites sometimes, even though it is only one part of the business.

[@maxlvledc]

I searched for it as well. was annoyed it wasn't listed.

[@Skobeloff...]

@@maxlvledc The first place I always look is the manufacturers website, Ideally more detail and the full range.

[@lanedexter6303]

Wow, your video premieres and nine hours later that $23 is now $29.99!

[@dude28405]

Realistically what most people need with a multi tool is a screwdriver of both flavors the pliers that they can use to cut wire or as a wrench anything else more than that really is overkill I think if I were to design a multitool, I would make the players kick ass and the screwdrivers kick ass and put a decent blade on it and I think the scissors on this one A great idea

[@artopullinen1529]

Real Leatherman killer is Victorinox SwissTool Spirit and all the others too

[@Rood67]

Speaking of theft, forgetting, etc… buying nearly ten of these for the cost of a single high end brand name - it’s a no brainer. A company could buy a box of these for workers, all manner of options where cost is a concern vs good enough for light work.

Lanyard loop?! That would be a mega win...

[@Xxstephenx1x]

I'll go with my original bucktool. I found one at a sale last year it's gem mint.

[@Jesus.X]

I like these budget tools because a lot of these edc items are usually overpriced they will usually just add titanium so the can charge you an extra 100 bucks. i just want something cheap that will be functional not pocket jewelry popular in the EDC world.

[@karlyt0s-tt]

I have 4 lms with broken springs. Wingman juice squirt and style. Might get this one for the wire cutters since knipex cobras dont have them

[@abytemonkey]

illegal in Germany for carry (you allowed to own it and to have it in your backpack etc, but not to have it ready at your belt or in a pocket) caused by the blade is able to get ready with one hand prohibited by German weapon law

[@NiSE_Rafter]

I would definitely take one of these over the NXT. Started with an NXT and now have Leathermans and man the NXT is indeed a piece of junk. The tools, including the knife, are barely held in place and always try to poke out. I just keep it in my truck now since I don't care to use it for daily tasks.

[@ger13nunyah56]

This is the way

[@ex7229]

PLEASE ! Please let these companies make a leatherman squirt/micra clone and style clone. I love the squirt and style, and style ps. I got one style for my sons 7th birthday this summer and he loves it. With the leatherman micra a a whopping 50$ which is outrageous for a keychain tool which has no pliers we have little to no options at that weight class. Even the alternative nextool multitools are just too heavy even though they are great. I would love a workpro keychain tool.

[@maxlvledc]

They are a little heavy, I agree

[@colehorton8092]

The Swisstech wave clone has the same screwdriver #0/#2 as well. The Swisstech clone has a black coating that makes it handle much easier but I feel like the metal quality is a lot lower.
