Customers are mixed about the sturdiness of the multitool. Some mention that it is very sturdy and well made, while others say that it's a pretty flimsy case, the steel used is low quality, and the scissors are not sturdy. Overall, the opinions are mixed, and it'd be best to read the reviews carefully before making a purchase.

Customers like the comfort of the multitool. They mention that the curved handle is comfortable, all the tools open without much difficulty, and the steel is soft but sharp enough to cut twine.

Very cheap, but also very cheap
3 Stars
Very cheap, but also very cheap
For the price this tool has a good amount of versatility, but keep your expectations low, it's very cheaply made. If you're on a very strict budget or expect to damage/lose the tool it's a great deal, but otherwise you should go for a small Victorinox for *much* better functionality and quality. Amazon should already mention this, but this review is in reference to the black 15-in-1 variant.Pros:+ Extremely low price for what's included.+ Generally speaking, all of the tools accomplish their purpose.+ Slim enough to fit into a change pocket, but not so slim/smooth that it immediately falls out of said change pocket.+ Easy to grip; comfortable size and weight, no (unintended) sharp edges.+ Comes with a holster.Minor Cons/Annoyances:~ The file is very small, and its ridges are infrequent and low. With some time and effort it'll get the job done for nails and such, but don't expect it to work quickly, or on most other materials.~ The knife opens to the left side, whereas it opens to the right on basically every other pocketknife I've seen. Not a problem, just a bit weird to open, especially if you've used other pocketknives before. This might be a pro if you're left-handed.~ The icebreaker, file, and needle are difficult to get to; you need to either jam a fingernail very precisely between their tips, or open all of the tools in that row until you get to what you want, then close the rest. It might be better if the icebreaker were outright removed, since the needle can probably(?) accomplish the same purpose, and it'd give plenty of room to get to the needle and file quickly.~ Everything on the "bottom" of the multitool only opens 90d towards the outside, but doesn't quite line up with the frame's edge; this makes all of those tools (especially the corkscrew and screwdriver) pretty awkward to use as the center of impact/rotation is very far away from the center of mass, or your center of grip.~ The holster's back is just a vertical strap, which means you can only really thread it through a belt. While this isn't particularly unusual, in my opinion it's pretty inferior to a rigid clip, and the tool is better off just pocketed unless you need constant easy access.Major Cons:- Nothing is particularly sharp. The knife could be worse, but the saw, scissors, can opener, and corkscrew are blunt.- The scissors are especially poor; their "blades" are completely flat, and aren't held together close enough to meet, except for about an 1/8th of an inch at the very tip. This leaves them very slow to use against a select few materials, and utterly useless against anything else.- Very poor build quality/quality control. The materials themselves seem solid enough (and again tools' functionality isn't impaired), but mine arrived with a few components very visibly bent away from centerline, notably making the scissors impossible to retract without prying the bottle opener back toward where it's supposed to rest. Affected tools are slightly loose laterally so they have no problem opening/closing, but obviously being this messed up out of the box isn't a great sign. As far as I can tell these bends are coming from poorly machined hinge holes; on the plus side this means the tools themselves aren't bent (or easily bendable as far as I can tell), but it also means there's not a great way to actually fix it without returning the tool and getting a new one that hopefully doesn't have the same issue. My attached picture shows the needle and file pretty leaning pretty egregiously away from each other when extended.- The hinges are extremely stiff, while the fingernail grips are shallow and very beveled at the top. This makes some tools (especially the bottle/can openers) extremely difficult to open as they tend to slip right off of your nail and snap back into their resting position. Opening them requires either a near-painful level of force applied through your fingernail, or slipping a finger underneath the tool you're trying to open (which obviously doesn't help with the knife/saw). You could maybe fix this by detensioning some of the screws, assuming that's actually what the screws control (I can't tell), but I'm a little worried that the tool will simply fall apart if I try. This problem will likely lessen as the tool is broken in, though I doubt it'll ever completely disappear. At least there's the plus side that it makes tools very difficult to accidentally dislodge from their extended position, which makes up for the lack of any locks (on this model).

Pros:
+ Extremely low price for what's included.

+ Slim enough to fit into a change pocket, but not so slim/smooth that it immediately falls out of said change pocket.
+ Easy to grip; comfortable size and weight, no (unintended) sharp edges.
+ Comes with a holster.
