Multitool, 17-in-1 Stainless Steel Multi Tool Pliers with Self-Locking, Pocket Knife, Nylon Sheath, Professional (EDC) Multi-Tool for Survival, Camping and Hunting, Hiking, Gifts for Men

I just received the Perwin 22 in 1 multi tool. It feels heavy for it's size. It comes with a pouch that is a clip-on style for belt, strap or pocket. It also has a hole in the bottom for a water drain. There is also a clip on the tool itself. The tolerances are very close; there is no wiggle and the tools come out alright but it feels tight. The tools lock in pIace very solidly; took me a bit to find the thin black lock plates that release the various tools. The pliers are spring loaded and feel real nice. The scissors needed a little extra pushing to lock because of a little interference with the frame. The file tooling, which is one of the reasons I bought it could be a tad longer but seems reasonable. It has a metal/wood file on one side and what looks like a diamond or sapphire coated nail file which could also be used as a knife sharpener. It has no teeth for cutting metal on the sides as some other tools have. The wrench, which works as a keeper for the outside tools on one side and is reasonably thick, has several metric sizes 7, 8, 10 and 14. I wish, that here they had made it a 13mm instead of the 14mm. Overall, it is an impressive tool for the price.

I'm impressed with the quality of this multi tool. Construction seems durable enough for casual hiking/camping/survival packs. Knives and scissors are very sharp. I own several Perwin knives and they're all very nice for that price range.(Cheap) Probably the best in that price range. I had a genuine Leatherman multi tool 30 years ago, before they were $$$.(It resides at the bottom of a lake) This Perwin approaches it's quality and is definitely better than any other knockoff I've encountered since. Only con I can find is it's pliers might not stand up to serious gorilla force like a $$$ tool might and the hex wrench seems pretty flimsy. That said, this thing is a welcome addition to any camping pack or bug out bag. Highly recommend.

My review is limited to a comparison between the Perwin multitool and the Leatherman Rebar, which seems the appropriate Leatherman counterpart to the Perwin, having 17 tools of the same general nature. It seems the Chinese have inspected a number of Leatherman multitools, adopted the functions they like, and they have improved others. In certain respects the Perwin is much better than a Rebar. For example, the Perwin has spring loaded pliers. It also has a file which the Rebar lacks. IMHO the Perwin also has a better knife blade. The rebar has no tools accessible from the outside, whereas the Perwin has four: file/ruler, knife blade, saw, and scissors. The Perwin's plier handles are comfortable to grasp; the Rebar's plier handles have sharp spots and are uncomfortable to use, like many Leathermans. Both multitools have the standard accouterments including an awl, cap lifter, can opener, Phillips screwdriver, and large and small standard screwdrivers. The Rebar's Phillips screwdriver is more robust than the Perwin's, and it has a serrated blade the Perwin lacks. ( I've never found that particular blade very useful because I don't cut much heavy cordage). However, the Perwin has a useful package opener the Rebar lacks. All the tools on both units lock open, except for the pliers. It appears the steel of the Perwin is 440A and the Rebar is 420HC. Both are fine for a multitool as far as I'm concerned. Both units appear to be well made and robust. I haven't used the Perwin extensively yet, so I can't speak to the quality of its metalurgy. The Perwin also has one item I like much better than the Rebar--and other Leathermans including the Bond and Super Tool 300. The fasteners used to hold together these Leathermans themselves require a specialized tool to adjust tension. It has to be special ordered on the internet. That's a nuisance. The Perwin uses fasteners adjustable with a commonly available hex key, as are some Leatherman multitools. I guess the big questions comes down to this: all things being roughly equal, is buying American (Leathermans are made in Oregon) and the Leatherman name worth $60.00 more? I recently bought the Perwin for $20.00 and the Rebar currently sells for about $80.00 on Amazon.com. (Who knows what the Perwin will cost after the application of the Trump tariffs on Chinese goods.) Unfortunately, many Americans don't have the income or the inclination to take such issues seriously. The Perwin does seem to be a better value than the Rebar.

great little tool, only complaint screwdriver locking mechanism hard to operate

There is some weight to this tool. Lots of versatility. Very durable. My husband is a fisherman; this is perfect for him on his boat. My brother is a maintenance supervisor and this tool is handy for him, he said, for quick fixes. They both said, “It’s Easy to use and manipulate this device.”

My job is working with tools.(machinists) I only buy the absolute best for my profession.I bought this to keep in my glove box as a “just in case” kind of Tool. I have a couple of different Leatherman brand name, multi tools. I don’t use them very often. The quality of this one is every bit as good or better than the brand name ones. I really like the comfort of the handle. The tool selection and locking system works really well. For as inexpensive as this Chinese made item is, the quality and function is really excellent. I would buy this again before I buy another Leatherman.

I was not expecting much when I bought this tbh. I mean come on it’s a leatherman knockoff but it has outdone itself , I bought this to install flooring with, and I have used probably every tool on it. It hasn’t stripped one tool. The blades are still sharp the pliers work well the pliers can cut through 16 gauge Brad nails even 16 gauge flooring nails. I’ve put it through the wringer, just held up great would totally recommend.

I use it everyday ,all of it’s functions are perfect and the knife is super sharp .

The product came as described. The looks and the feel really impressive. I definitely recommend this to others.

Llevo un mes utilizándolos y se sienten muy bien hechas. Son muy prácticas. 100% recomendables a buen precio.
