WORKPRO Multitool, 15-in-1 Multi Tool Pocket Knife with Screwdriver, Heavy Duty Multitool Pliers with Safety Locking and Sheath, Perfect for Camping, Fishing and Hiking

I have had a Leatherman for years, occasionally I set it down and misplace it for a few days or even a few weeks but always eventually find it again. It has now been all summer and it could be lost forever, but the costs for replacing one of those is too high right now, especially when it still could turn up again. So I was tired of not having a knife/multi tool and so decided to buy a Workpro, and just see if it can get me by for now. Well I am absolutely thrilled with this knife! I actually in some ways like it better than my Leatherman. I like that unlike my Leatherman, all the tools access without opening the handles up. The locking mechanism is stout, almost too stout until I put a little oil in it which really loosened it up. The saw is new, my Leatherman didn't have that and is quite sharp. The knife blade wasn't super sharp but well hollow ground, and a minute with a diamond sharpening rod had it to near razor sharpness. The scissors I feel are superior to Leatherman's, almost as good as Swiss Army ones. All the screw drivers seem very useful, the straight screw driver blades are ground a bit narrower than the Leatherman, making it more useful, but potentially more fragile too I suppose.The only downside I see is the weight of the Workpro, but that isn't that big of a deal. I would hope that the added heft will make it a stronger tool. Time will tell, but this multi tool ain't no junk, that's for sure!Edited. As I use this knife I am liking it all the more. It feels like it is going to last a very long time, not a piece of junk at all. A very small gripe I had was that the stainless metal was for the most part quite dull, including parts of the handle, the knife blade etc. So I took a small piece of scotch pad and shined it up, then used very fine steel wool to finish it off. It looks so much better now (see photo). Took around a half hour to do this.

I've been using this for over two years now and I can safely say it's not as good as the more recognized brands, but it does come at a super reasonable price. As a park ranger, I never know what tool I'll need, but with multiple screwdrivers, scissors, a knife, a small saw, pliers, and several other tools, this has saved me many trips to the tool box, or worse, the shed. After two years of use, the tools are all still functioning well, but there is a small bit of rust that has started to develop on some of the blades. Not enough to affect performance, but more than my colleagues have on their higher quality (more expensive) tools. I have also always carried a pocket knife separate from this tool for two reasons. First, it's faster to pull my pocket knife if I just need a blade, rather than working the knife out of a multi tool. Second, the knife on this tool is kinda short for my preferences.The sheath was convenient and was made perfectly for the tool, it's almost satisfying to sheath and unsheath this tool. However, getting what I paid for, the belt loop on my sheath broke a few months after buying this. I did get a sheath from another knife I had, so I do still carry this tool using a different sheath.The fact that the tools are on the outside and not the inside means that it is easy to access anything I need without opening up the whole tool. I've never used it, but there is a small loop that could be used to tie a string or something to the tool, I assume it is an alternative to the sheath (maybe for a carabiner or simply a necklace) but the loop is retractable and never in the way if you prefer using a sheath like I do.Overall I would simply say, I can totally understand why someone would buy a more expensive, name brand tool. Personally, this one has served me well enough for two years and I don't see myself needing a new one anytime soon.

This can be a Great for the Value multi-tool but it needs work, first the tool is very stiff, I would break a nail before some of the tools would deploy, and the lock/release tab is Very stiff and hard to release the tools. The pliers made a grinding sound when using and the knife blade was dull. So after using WD40 to clean all the tool joints, a lot of dirt/residue came out, then I used Nano oil to lube all the joints and the pliers and worked them back and forth until they started to move easily (I had to loosen a tiny bit the screw on the knife side because the tool were so stiff) I also had to work the work the lock/release tab back and forth with another screwdriver to loosen because it was almost unusable. I had to sharpen the knife properly.Now the good news It now works Great! for the price, the tool is heavy duty and feel very solid all the tools are work nicely, although the pliers are for light use like electrical wire or soft steel, I used them to cut a small hard nail and it marred the cutters (I had to fix with a small file and it works fine now). It also fits in my maxpedition single sheath along with the Leatherman bit adapter which adds 14 more bit options to the work pro. I used all the tools and no problem in their function all work good, not as good as a leatherman but get the job done. This tool compared to leatherman is no contest the leatherman is so much better in feel and function for a tool you use frequently, but if you use it only occasionally or want an extra tool for your vehicle, or you don't want to spend the money for a leatherman this tool is very good if you put a little work into it.

Well made, with just about everything you need. A bit heavy for every day pocket carry, mine lives in my backpack and sees frequent use. All tools lock open. Has truly gotten me out of a couple of sketchy situations. Love it!
