Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

The surge is heavier than the wave in the hand. The only bad thing is that it comes with a lot of grease so you need to wash your hands after using it because they will get black and greasy.

I've been a multitool user since they came on the scene and for the longest time used only gerber.


But these are not the pliers with replacable cutters.
