What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
This is the only multi-tool that is actually small and light enough for me to carry everywhere. It slips easily into a cargo pocket and is hardly noticeable. I edc a mini tool because one occasionally needs to pick up small objects.
Bought for a birthday gift for a mate. Bought as a gifts for a young farmer. For the price it's brilliant.
Cons
The fit is okay, the finish, not really. It's not up to the standard i expect for even this meagre money. Very crusty and cheap feeling. Not built well whatsoever.

Its just 1mm but if you have a minor ocd you may get annoyed the springs are very stiff and when opening the tool your nails may spoil

Likely there is a nail file that works well the biggest negative point for me is that the lanyard loop is on the side of the blades so if its really used as a keychain its almost impossible to use the blades

Blades etc are ok but look and feel lets it down and not what i expected from gerber tools

I cant say the same for the multi tool it just lacks the same refinement that the paraframe had and seems to be impossible to erect any of the attachments on the other hand the pliers are spring assisted
