NEXTOOLMultitool, Mini Sailor MultiTools 11 in 1, Multi-Tool with Can/Bottle Opener, Scissors, Screwdriver, Camping Accessories, Gifts for Dad

I'd had a Leatherman P4 for years and it was such a handy little tool but then I forgot to take it off my keys when going through security at the airport and had it taken off me :(. When I then found out that the P4 / PS4 was no longer made I had to find an alternative and found this one which had pretty much everything that was on my Leatherman. My first impressions are the build quality is fantastic, the tools are really handy and although it is slightly bigger than my Leatherman, it is still small enough to go on a set of keys and not be noticeable when it is in my pocket. The SIM pin is genius, one of those things that you don't need often but when you do you can never find one. It's easy to use and quick to get used to. Although I was sad to see my Leatherman go this is more than an adequate replacement. I'd had my Leatherman for about 20 years, so whether this will stand the test of time remains to be seen, but first impressions are very positive.

The media could not be loaded. Great little multitool, lots of handy tools and safe to carry in public because there’s no knife/blade (the UK has strict safety laws regarding knives). This multitool, despite its low price, is very well made out of robust metal that would withstand everyday use as intended. It is easy to use even for a woman like myself who normally multitools are not aimed towards. The tools could be a little easier to open up out of the handle as it is a little stiff but I’m sure that’ll ease over time.The only other thing I would change is the keychain part. It is quite small and may break because the keyring is quite thin. Also if it had an included real leather sheath / pouch, that would be nice too.

This tool contains a range of useful high quality items in a small format, making them easy to carry. It would have earned five stars but for one problem. The scissors are effective but difficult to access - I had to resort to a screwdriver to to prise them out from the case, which rather restricts its role as a self contained toolkit.

For £20, I wasn’t expecting much. How wrong I was. It feels and looks too quality. The knife is the perfect size to slip in me pocket, and not know it’s there. I don’t want a big case and it sticking in my side on the belt. This fits nicely in my hand, tools are designed very well, knife is sharp , tin opener bottle opener, all work great. Scissors are razor sharp. Pliers work great. There is nothing I can say negative about this tool. I own 4 victorinox pen knives, work with tools as an electrical engineer, and this will be my new everyday pocket tool. Recommend

A. Great design - all tools make sense and are useful.B. Good materials - maybe not ELITE materials but the steel is fine for a small emergency tool (not your main daily professional tool, of course...)C. Excellent workmanship - the pliers and scissors meet perfectly and without wobbleThis tool could have been branded Leatherman and I wouldn't complain :)

One of the few multi-tools without a blade. I got this for my grandson who is a scout but not old enough to carry a knife. These type of multi-tools are few and far between because they pretty much all have a knife blade - or even worse a locking blade which technically makes them illegal in the UK.

Great piece of EDC

Update 21/2/24. Sadly over the last few days the blade has become looser, and yesterday the spring for the blade sheared off about a centimetre back from the blade, just as I was opening the blade, making the knife blade totally useless. Obviously a problem with the quality/tempering of the steel spring. Similar happened with my mini flagship on the pliers after about 4 weeks of light use eg opening parcels. The mini sailor took about 8 weeks! Will be sending it back. A real shame. Nice looking, handy, but only worth one star for lifetime of a couple of months.Ordered this after a mini flagship broke after just a few weeks when one of the plier "springs" snapped. This is built more like a traditional penknife with long spring bars on the back of the handles. I would have thought it too small and light for camping/hiking, but as an everyday carry just in case is quite useful. Blade was a bit dull but sharpened easily, Scissors are small but useful for cutting string, paper, card, screwdrivers are handy for small to medium screws where not much torque is needed. ( the Phillips will turn some quite tiny ones; eg portable radio back). I personally would rather have a file than the can/bottle opener, but the can opener does work. Haven't really put the pliers to work much. I think they probably would snap under heavy pressure, but they have proved useful on several occasions when the trolleys at the local supermarket refused to eject the token/pound coin even though it had been connected to the next trolley, and for cutting through light wire, e.g. rewiring a plug. Some of the springs seem a little weak: there is very little pressure needed to close the "larger" tools (knife and can/bottle opener). But overall, a useful little tool to have. Will update if any problems arise.Update 23/2/24. It would be unfair not to comment on Nextool's customer service, which has been very good. I first ordered the mini flagship which quickly developed a similar problem when a spring on the pliers sheared. I returned it and ordered the mini sailor. However Nextool obviously monitor reviews, and contacted me by the Amazon messenger service. By that time I had already returned the item and requested a refund. Because the message was still on the service I was able to message Nextool regarding the problem with the mini sailor. They offered a refund or replacement. I have chosen the refund. Now have to decide what to buy instead! Both tools were really nicely designed, easy to carry and good to use. There is not much else of similar size with the same features. Would be 5 stars if they had not broken.
