MY DISAPPOINTMENT IS IMMEASURABLE | TOLER TOOLS UNION/OMNILOCK PT.1 | GEAR REVIEW # 10

I backed the indiegogo campaign for this multitool over 2 years ago. This unit arrived today and...leaves a lot to be desired.
As promised in the video, I'll carry this for a week and see what I think afterwards.

[@MrJagover]

Leatherman has been making their tools forever, and started small in the US, lots of good practice- this is a great idea to make a new tool and I am hopeful that it works out. This tool is more complex then a leatherman, and probably would really cost 200-300 bucks with high quality machining and materials.

[@slyfox4564]

Over a grand is just a ripoff

[@MyUnquenchableThirst]

Thank you for showing a honest opinion of this tool. The repeated mentioning of the last video is a bit annoying. I get that you're upset that you messed up but don't let that distain bleed into this video. I don't care what was in the last video.

[@johnh5738]

Why even mention the previous attempt without audio repeatedly? No one cares. Be professional and carry on. I received a solid tool. Immeasurably disappointed with this review.

[@freethinksman4393]

It's pretty obvious that half your complaints stem from your own frustration at your own ineptitude in filming it the first time. Bitching about stuff you haven't used and stuff you don't understand completely overwhelms the legitimate gripes you do have. For christ's sake contact Toler. I'm sorry you didn't know how to use your camera and even sorrier you bothered to try again.

[@michaelcolloton6971]

For years, SOG made the heaviest, most cumbersome and most ridiculous multitools on the market. This is the new champion. The guys at Toler obviously don't have much engineering skill, but they sure have balls. It's hard to believe you can get this much stupid only $150.

[@troyounce3295]

Well I wouldn't call it stupid, a lot of thought went into it, definitely needs to lose some tools and be more user friendly

[@dsimon33871]

I agree 100% with you... I am suprised at the passes people throw these guys... "Oh they are minor issues..." Really? How minor are they when I can get a beautiful Bibury that for all appearances has the build quality of a Leatherman for less than 30 bucks? There is even a tool with a wrench and pliers for under 30 that is machined better than this product.

[@bryanhendricks312]

Latest e-mail update seems like the creator has seen this video, promises to fix QC and do a warranty exchange for anyone who got a turd. This looks awesome, I hope he makes it good.

[@pat8ck]

He is also claiming he is inspecting them 100 percent and that is part of the delay. Replacing junk with more junk won't help.

[@harpreethundal814]

I cant wait for mine. I think you just got that one bad apple in the bunch hope this tool performs as great as it looks

[@zacheryholmes3756]

Honestly surprised to see no one calling him out on not opening the pliers correctly and when he forced the file closed even though it was locked. I understand the bit retention is a problem but it does make me wonder if your overall dissatisfaction stems from not knowing how to opperate the tool.

[@bq5432]

I think this a pretty harsh and kinda assholish review. We are the early buyers, it's kinda part of the deal that we get to help polish the device before it hits mainstream sales. This review really should have been directed towards the owner to help him with quality and design. I have no doubt the owner will fix these issues.

[@rickvasquez3709]

Agreed. Awknowledge that you made an earlier video and it messed up and move on but to hear it throughout the whole review was annoying.

[@jayknight850]

I would like to think the production problems would be resolved, now as the wait period is 3 years or so doubtful. He is pretty accurate about the quality. Good idea, poor execution.

[@aconsola1]

I received mine and can echo all of your comments, the errors in the hex holes look just like mine. I did find one additional issue that I didn't see mentioned in the video. On the base of the pliers handle there is a hex driver spot next to the knife pivot to make an inline screwdriver. It has a hole in it that would appear to be to hold the detent ball for a hex shank(like the bit storage spots), but the shape of the bottom of the hole or simply its lack of depth does not allow the ball of either a bit or the extender to reach the hole in the plate, so like the other 2 hex driver spots the hex tools fall right out. I took detailed pictures and contacted Toler and received an email response within hours "My apologies. Thanks so much for the feedback on how we can improve. I of course want you to be fully satisfied. We'll send out a new tool with a return envelope for your current tool asap. Please use the tool you have until it arrives. I think you'll find it useful in the meantime. "

[@dragon202006]

Shit happens. I've ordered mine and will receive sometime in july, still looking forward to it. Same crap happens with popular brands seeing how I am on my third leatherman I've had to send back once to repair and agian to replace. Leatherman should have no reason for the issues they have since they have been around for awhile but they do.

[@jaerivus]

Did you ever receive yours? I ordered back in November or Dec of 2022, and as of May '23, still nothing, but I've seen enough reports from people who claimed they did receive theirs after *two years* that I haven't thrown in the towel yet. Edit: but it certainly disappoints. There are enough people claiming this to be a scam that I'm growing even more disappointed by the month.

[@dragon202006]

@Jaerivus McTavern Sadly no. My actual order date was 3/26/2021, and I've been hearing talks of a scam as well. I just read the comments on toolers indigogo page recently, and I'm seriously starting to think I won't be getting the tool. He's having all these vague issues or "hurdles" and "hiccups," yet he is still selling the tools, even though it's as far as 3 years behind for some people. I promise if I do receive it, I will be sure to come back here and say so.

[@jaerivus]

@@dragon202006 I'm sorry to hear that. And thank you... I hope to hear from you!

[@elguinolo7358]

I received mine, I do not observe the problems you show with yours. There is indeed one of the tip sockets with a ball lock 1mm away from its position, and this point probably needs more attention of behalf of the manufacturer. It's a $100 multitool, though, so I was not expecting a Leatherman Charge Ti level, but it's much better than I thought it would be.

[@Griffix96]

Wow.. I ordered two of these multi tools one year ago. I still haven't received them. After seeing your video I am going to cancel the order. I assumed the wait time was because they were being hand-made like a fine Swiss watch. Clearly, that is not the case.

[@thatchanguy]

Just got mine yesterday and checked mine against yours. You totally got a lemon. The ball bearing on the bit extender is still visible but it does stay in the hex hole and has minor resistance to falling out. I got the carrying case, which is actually leather that smells nice and not like chemicals.

[@markpapp8784]

I watched this video having received and opened mine yesterday. It seems that (at least some of) the defects you found have been resolved. In no particular order: 1) The "file" / piercer wasn't bent or distorted in any way, but it doesn't look much good. 2) All Phillips screws were fine and undamaged, though one of the slotted screws at the pliers' pivot had tool marks, which surprised me on a factory assembled unit. 3) The screwdriver bit holder is easily inserted into the hex soxkets and does not shake loose from either, and the bits stay in the holder. 4) The belt pouch astonished me - it's made of decent leather and held together with high quality rivets - much better than expected. 5) The knife doesn't seem to have a lock. 6) The "metal saw" does look to be useless, but time will tell. 7) The adjustable wrench mechanism seems OK to me, though not yet tried. Overall, I suspect mine's an improvement on yours; I was quite impressed with the quality, but my expectations weren't high. It's still not the perfect everyday carry tool but I don't know if that's been invented. I'm curious to see if I ever really use it in anger, as if I know I'm going to need tools I usually carry a decent set...

[@quandaledingle732]

Contributed 150$ to this project like 2+ years ago and all I have received are emails. Really eager to get mine. I feel like I should have been up there on the list for the first editions. It’s understandable that it is a product still in development but at least send something to those who have been investors for several years.

[@AquaTech225]

Ever get it yet?

[@hackcult3738]

I feel like I’m never going to get mine. Been waiting forever. I get the emails but no tool. Ill be disappointed if this thing doesn’t hold up on the job. I really don’t mind spending a few extra dollars on some good quality bits.

[@SnD340]

Very gimmicky

[@primpooping]

If I would have known how long it would take to get one I never would have bothered. I needed a multi tool but cant justify buying one now when I have one always a "short" distance of from shipping. I wish he'd cut the optimism in this emails and just be blunt and honest, I have no clue when your tool will ship. I'd prefer that then having to wait for the monthly update about why manufacturing/shipping has been delayed yet again and it will ship in a few weeks and again in a few weeks and again in a few weeks. Lesson learned no more kickstarter type gimmicks.

[@hackcult3738]

@@primpooping I take it you just got the latest email? Lol. Honesty I wish I could cancel mine. I’m gonna be so mad if it turns out to be a piece of shit that I waited for for 2 years.

[@colinmartin9797]

I mean, I can't possibly say you're wrong, because it's obviously completely subjective and you are perfectly entitled to not like something for any reason and that's okay. And you're right that in several places that fit and finish is shockingly bad. So take anything I say below this as just being nitpicky AF and that on the whole, from what I see on my shiny light box of electrons, I agree with you that yours is unacceptable. But I will point out that (and I'm not one of those sunk-cost fanboys who has just built it up so much in my mind because I paid money and it's taking forever and oh god where is it IhopeIdidn'tgetscammedsoIbettermakeupsomegrandstoryabouthowit'sjustgoingtobeperfectandthat'swhyit'stakingsolong) Mike's promised to improve QC and no-cost exchange for anyone who gets one with QC failings. No idea how smooth/easy that is or if he'll honor it, but just saying it in case you weren't aware. As for the bits, again, I could be wrong because I don't have mine yet, but you can't call something "tool steel" or not based on weight. You could NEVER tell d2 apart from Cr14 apart from MP4 or any other steel by weight of such a tiny piece of metal. I'm guessing you're noticing less heft because those bits have a bit hollowed out to make space for the ball-detent mechanism. The bits COULD be cheap awful chinesium, but if you haven't used them, you really cannot know how good or not a bit is based on weight. What matters is the metal touching the screw, because that's the fail point. Definitely agree that countersink hole looks bad. But (and this is just nitpicking) you can't see "marks of poor heat treating". You could see heat scarring from the tool bit - which would be bad, but that's a separate cause for essentially the same problem (if you see color, the heat treat has been annealed, so doesn't matter how or why). The fit and finish on yours looks a LOT worse than other ones I've seen though. That's kind of a shame. I hope yours was just an oversight shipped out by Mike when he was sleep deprived from how feverishly he's been working, and I hope that you can get yours exchanged for a good one with little to no hassle. And apart from the really obvious fit and finish problems, I do think you really need to spend some time with a tool to really get a handle on how good it is (or isn't) There have been tools I got that I was stoked for out of the box, and even when I used a few times, only to realize later on that there are some huge issues. It's why I hate unboxing. Your first impressions are always going to be good or bad, rarely any middle ground.

[@dalecrisp2901]

Colin is absolutely correct. You can't tell tool steel from mild or alloy steel by weight. Nor can one see "marks of poor heat treating". Heat treating, as the name implies, is a process of heating and cooling in a manner specific to the material being heat treated. Since no tool touches the part, heat treating leaves no marks. Poor or otherwise. It looks to me like the hex holes that were pointed out might have been done with a broach. That would account for the apparent splits. A broach is commonly used in a production environment. A hole like that would never be "machined" with an end mill. Impossible to get square corners and too slow for a production environment. Once mine arrives I will be able to tell if the holes were broached or not. (the holes still might be absolute garbage, even if broached) Are there problems with the tool you received? It looks like it. Will Mike make it good? I think he will. He has been quite transparent with us and for one, I have to commend him on that. At times I have thought I could feel his frustration coming through and that made me feel he is legit. Could I be wrong, sure. Having been self employed for over 30 years in the tooling industry making all sorts of things that are typically used in production of something, I can honestly tell you that just getting the product to us through the issues the covid has created has been a herculean effort for Mike. With the knowledge I have I would want no part of it at all. Of course I am able to look into the past and see the things Mike has had to deal with. Still, I can tell you that he has not had much fun in the last couple of years. Unfortunately I have to agree that the tool does not look to be as useful as I had hoped. Awkward, unhandy, big, heavy?, all come to mind. I feel that big and heavy are on us. Like someone mentioned, it should be obvious that I tool with that many features is not going to be small and light. Awkward and unhandy? Maybe some of that is in the eye of the beholder. I am hoping it is better than it looks on the various reviews. I am expecting awkward and unhandy to win and that disappoints me. Time will tell.

[@jordannellessen785]

You said you havnt used it for anything? Your review holds no validity. Everything im hearing so far (4:15) is that you don't like how it looks, which doesn't matter, and that it is too stiff. If you have ever actually used your Leatherman (I've had several 200s and 300s) for any real period of time you would know that they get too loose after not long. Also your fingernails look way too neat and clean for somebody id trust on this type of review.

[@jordannellessen785]

And by 'ball bearing' you mean detent.

[@dublplus3332]

I backed this project on indiegogo too. It will be 2 years for me in May. His progress in production will see this tool in my hands at likely the 3 or 4 year mark. Maybe longer. I guess thats what I signed up for. I would not have committed had I known it would take this long, or that production is outsourced to China. Pretty unimpressed all in all. That said, maybe I will receive a cool and efficient tool someday.

[@oddboy14124]

This is why I had to back out

[@neilgutteridge6405]

Lets address the negative "its made in China" comments.I own leatherman and sog tools and use a leatherman surge for my everyday work as a maintenance technician.The Surge is probably the best tool for everyday work use due to its heavyweight build.....its a great tool.I have just purchased a Roxon Phantom more out of curiosity than as a tool for work and its impressive.Build quality is excellent and the innovative design including the interchangeable blade system is the way forward in multi tool design.The scizzors on the tool are the best on the market and the fact there are twelve different blades you can interchange sets this tool apart from anything else.The secondary tools are more like you would see on a swiss army knife....not really heavy duty but they work for their intended uses.The tool also comes with spring loaded pliers and replaceable wire cutters.....you even get a spare pair included in the price.Roxon is a relatively new company but they are already showing promise in ther innovation and build quality........the tool is almost a work of art. This tool cost me 50 quid........leatheman cant touch this tool on pricing,even their cheaper tools are more expensive than the phantom and they are nowhere near as good.I will be following this company with great interest.......yes they can make improvements but they are a young company that are showing a lot of promise and great design deas.I think leatherman and all the top multi tool manufacturers need to take note on their pricing because gor 50 quid there is nothing on the market to compete with the Phantom.

I hope you get a Toler tool you are happy with.

Yeah, I'll wait til second gen or later and let them work out the bugs before I consider it. It certainly won't replace my Leatherman in its current state. Also, curious case of "you haven't even used the tool" white knighting in the comments. You don't have to drive a car with four flat tires to know that the car has four flat tires; you don't have to shoot a gun with a plugged barrel to know that it's going to blow up in your face. Save the white knighting, he has every right to point out the poor quality control. Want him to "try it" before he shares his opinion? Maybe get him a tool that isn't junk first.

[@fleanine]

Oh man , thats awful. These indigogo projects are always so scary. Especially if you have been waiting for YEARS for it to come in. I wonder if they’ll allow backers to ...BACK OUT. Seeing this video gives me anxiety. What will MINE come in looking like? I hope you get a proper replacement that is miles apart from that one, and can do a follow up to redeem this project. I always wished the videos they post included more of the really close up shots to see the machining etc.. but nope. I hope Mike addresses this on his own KZbin channel and on the indigogo page as well. This is really scary.

[@madfab5723]

Mike actually reached out to me earlier to offer a replacement, as well as his assurance that this was a sorting issue. I'll see when the new one comes in and I might stream the unboxing of it on the twitch channel so people can see exactly what came in.

I definitely believe this to be a sorting error. We've shipped over 500 tools now, beginning in December. We've only had a few defects slip by in that time and have addressed each one under warranty. This definitely counts as a defect and you would not be expected to keep a tool that does not retain the bit extender. I am, however, processing many more tools than before at present. I think I made a human error from fatigue and look forward to making it up. I am also enlisting my wife to help me process and give me a second pair of eyes.

Bummer, I was exited to see this in action. I carry a Charge Ti which was only 99 bucks when I bought it and a 5" Knipex pliers, right pocket, Spyderco Para military, this combination will fix just about anything, the Knipex clamping force and light weight is unbeatable. I use the clip for the Charge in my left pocket and use the Charge case to the hold bits and the Knipex on my belt. I use the Leatherman Skeletool CX for lighter days.

[@TheDillman13]

Tool steel weighs more than mild? No. A36 steel is marginally the exact same weight as O1, 5160, 80CRV2, 15N20, and any other tool steel including types of high speed steel. A metal saw is supposed to have very fine teeth. Look at a hack saw, or even that needle file you were using in the video. Most of your other complaints are valid, especially the retention of the hex bits given the fact that there are detents. Mellow it out and/or educate yourself before talking about the quality of something since it seems you are at least unfamiliar with metalworking tools and heat treatment.

[@madfab5723]

First, I know what a hacksaw is. I might not have communicated it in this final version, but my original comment was that the thickness of the saw seemed like it would be a hindrance to cutting metal. Seeing that it's twice as thick as the average 18 or 24 TPI hacksaw blade and a fraction of the length, you can see where I'm coming from. Again, I haven't tested this thing yet. Second, your point about the bits; mentally I was comparing them to the Philips/Flathead/Torx inserts I use in my drill. Yeah, you're totally right about the weight thing and no, I'm no heat treating expert. Never claimed to be. But I've done a bit of it and can recognize when it goes wrong. Since this second video was really off the cuff compared to the version I recorded and lost audio for, I neglected to mention those points. For a few moments I was chatting out of my ass, but hey, this is the internet, that's allowed. As for mellowing out? Never. The channel name is what it is for a reason. Either way, appreciate you checking this out.

I keep trying muitools and return to the first one I ever purchased; SOG powerlock. Interchangeable bits and gear assist grip are the main selling points. In a decade I snapped one Phillips bit and replaced for $12. The only thing I want that toler has is the ability to use 2 wrenches. I hope someone makes a minimal device with detachable 2 plier option, driver bits, and knife. Don’t need more than that. I also like the kershaw fire select. The sog powerlock, plus a small knippex cobra wrench gives me the versatile most edc tool options in the for the smallest footprint currently. Even the fire select + cobra gets me pretty far.

It took me a whole extra year to get mine and given all that extra time you'd hope it had improved significantly, it has not. I feel like you were being entirely too generous with your review. This tool is awful, its best "function" at this point will be to demonstrate for someone how NOT to make a multitool. This thing is a pile of bad ideas. The fact that the thin arm on the pliers can swivel all over is just an injury waiting to happen, unless of course like my $100 paperweight you intend to never use it as a tool. Perhaps someday after a blow to the head I will be enticed into using this for more than an ornament, its going to have to be a very hard blow to the head though.

I would love to put this thing through the same paces. But it seem like it wouldn't last too long. If Toler had actually made this to his own hype he would have had military contracts up his nose. Shame.

Having carried many multitools over the years I can simply look at this tool and tell you its way over designed. The tool is simply way too busy and cumbersome to be a useful plier multitool. There is one thing multitools have made clear to me and that is there is no such thing as one tool that does everything. And every time you add a tool something else has to get sacrificed. By the time your done adding tools what you end up with is way to many tools and compromises in the design and none of them do anything well.

[@BBA1994]

So you actually own one of these tools and have bad experience with it ?

[@mrsmith8436]

@@BBA1994 - I don’t have to experience a train wreck to know I would not enjoy being in one. I don’t have to try to hammer a nail with a soup spoon to know it will not do the job. I learned my lesson on multitools many years ago. Only someone with no experience and with little knowledge of multitools would even consider owning a disaster like this.

[@aknight7252]

Thank you for this video. I was stupid to even think about comparing it to the Letterman surge, which is what I was comparing this to for my purchase. Now I know. I want something reliable for my EDC or for emergencies. Thank you, again.

I saw this thing ages ago and I thought, "Nice idea but too gimmicky" I can totally understand why you're pissed after waiting all that time only to receive a sub par tool. I supported a jctactical product on kickstarter (I think) got the first item and it was ridiculously out of balance for what it was and took ages to arrive. The second item I backed never happened. My money disappeared with the developer. I won't back any of these items ever again. What I can't figure out is, after reading a lot of comments, why did people vote down this video??

[@Willr47]

Would you sell me your toler union?

[@fleanine]

The more I watch this video, it seems more like a impulse buy from harbor freight that you spend 12 bucks on - then you actually open it and try to use it... get disappointed, and it ends up in the back of the truck somewhere and you forget about it but its ok cuz it was only 12 bucks. I think this MAY be a 12 dollar product that we all just grossly overpaid for. No more indigogo projects for me....And i got the case too :( Another thing i noticed is that in the original product demo video it shows the bit holder to be a nice knurled piece of clean steel. The one you have looks like cheap black painted steel. I liked the contrast of the original a bit more.

Someone got his panties in a knot. Must be from NY NY. Get some time up on it and give a real review.

[@Crampingmeow]

Hope to hear about a review on the replacement tool. Also, can you make a video on putting it through the paces? I appreciate your candidness. You have a good voice and know how to talk to viewers. Subuscribed!

[@Jakpro1223]

Your assessment is a good example of why I am seldom an early adopter! I have been watching this thing develop for over 2 years. It did not reach the funding goal on the first crowd funding. This one he is over a million and keeps racking up orders! I don’t believe that I will be ordering one!’

[@madfab5723]

It is incredibly rare for me to be an early adopter of anything. Most of the time I'm late ti the game. This thing had potential, but alas potential isn't everything.

[@tolertools4081]

I hope to reach you later as we prove ourselves in the market. Thanks for your long time interest. -Mike

I haven't received mine yet but this is what I was expecting. You can tell by the decisions they made that it will never be as functional as claimed. The fact that the bits and bit driver use a ball bearing system instead of quality magnets is proof of poor quality. You only see that on knockoff tools from China. The omnilock wrench is the same as the standard universal wrenches you can find at hardware stores. They just swapped which part moves and which is stationary. Unless you're working with bolts and nuts all day it's useless. I am curious if the back of it can be used as a hammer though. The fact that phillips screws were used instead of torx is another sign of poor quality. The design of the knife is a joke. You can tell it wasn't originally incorporated in the design save was just added on later. It should be in the area next to the saws but instead it's on the side doubling the thickness of the tool. I hope mine works as advertised but I'm not keeping my hopes up. At best we can hope that this will allow for a much better version in the future.

[@MrChamberlaindavidd]

More disappointed with this review than anything I saw with the tool. Only complaint that was even valid was the bit driver.

[@calinmihai5909]

So, maybe next time you shall put your bets on something actually made in the USA.. To hell with all cheappy crap made in.. you know where.. Nice video and best of luck!

[@Traderjoe]

I’ve been waiting for mine for years and I am disappointed without even having it yet. I am never, ever, backing any project ever again. I have done it 5 times and not one of them has turned out to be anything like the proposal videos. I can tell that this is going to end up sitting in my desk drawer and never seeing the light of day. Covid is no excuse for the delay. I ordered it two years before covid. Never again

[@GeorgeZimmermen]

Dude, stop bitching and wait till you actually get yours to make up your mind. You sound like a whining housewife. I ordered mine back in June and still haven’t got it yet

[@donedeal725]

Looks like a weekend project! smh

[@3a.m.dreaming]

I’m contributed #3805 and hearing this really bummed me out. Waited so long to get it to hear it’s shitty quality. Not even excited about getting it. If it’s as bad as you say it is it’ll end up in my drawers somewhere or just toss it in the tool box but won’t plan on carrying it with me will probably get a leatherman.

[@ericalvarado4566]

I flipped a coin on getting this or the letherman surge and then I saw this vid, I’m glad I got my surge lol

[@guillermocortes3783]

Personally I feel like they tried to shove too many tools into this thing.

[@Quagmire17000]

What a pointless review. Use it, this isn't an accessory but a tool, function is more important than form

[@diezelle57]

Thanks, I saved $150. In terms of design .... 1- the OMNILOOK key is certainly not an innovation, I have had Chinese keys based on the same principle for decades, 2- the folding pliers ... like the SOG Paratool pliers ... 3- the floating handle of the pliers, a very bad idea, is reminiscent of the mini multi-tools like Sebertool and Swiss+Tech. In terms of manufacturing ... 1- the designer tells us that he has them manufactured in China in the factory used by major brands of multi-tools: GERBER? SOG? :)? 2- for the price, we have it made in the United States, even in Taiwan, but not in China! At the QC level ... 1- a hacksaw instead of a wood saw, bits that do not hold, a rotten awl, is that a joke ??? So thank you for this review which shows that the designer is not an engineer like Tim Leatherman! :) Merci, j'ai économisé $150. Au niveau de la conception .... 1- la clé OMNILOOK n'est certainement pas une innovation, je possède depuis des décennies des clés chinoises basées sur le même principe, 2- la pince rabattable ... comme la pince du Paratool de SOG, 3- le manche flottant de la pince, très mauvaise idée, fait penser aux mini multi-tools genre Sebertool et Swiss+Tech. Au niveau de la fabrication ... 1- le concepteur nous dit qu'il fait fabriquer en Chine dans l'usine utilisée par des grandes marques de multi-tools : GERBER ? SOG ? :) ? 2- pour le prix, on fait fabriquer aux Etats-Unis, voire à Taiwan mais pas en Chine! Au niveau du QC ... 1- une scie à métal à la place d'une scie à bois, des embouts qui ne tiennent pas, un poinçon pourri, est-ce une plaisanterie ??? Merci donc pour cette revue qui montre que le concepteur n'est pas un ingénieur comme Tim Leatherman ! :)

I get the message. The tool is not very good. I gave the video a Thumbs Down though just because I don't like the way the guy does the video, kinda annoying. I never quite understand why these folks insist on telling the audience about useless information like that they screwed up the first video. Oh and that it's raining? Still mission accomplished, bad tool, won't buy one.
