Peace of Mind with a 21-in-1 Multitool
This is the best multitool I have seen/used. Really well thought out design, large handle and diameter tools, solid metal construction and strong locking devices. Really good value at just under $25.The real star of this tool is its well thought out and robust pliers. The tools on the edges are very well thought out and useful, especially the Camp-style knife blade versus Saw blade of other multitools. And a needle nose plier which is hard to find on other multitools. I really like this design because it makes for a high-quality tool with in-hand functionality as well – the pliers are heavy, thick and beefy enough for most tasks. All these while fitting into a compact design that doesn’t add too much extra bulk when carried on-person or in a bag.The locking mechanism is very secure without being over-complicated or difficult to use (like some other brands). This makes the tool very easy and quick to use, as well as very safe in-hand.The WETOLS brand name comes with a reputation for quality and durability. This is a very well-built tool that will hold up through daily use.Overall, this the best multitool I have seen or used in a long time! Highly recommend!This is the best multitool I have seen/used.

Sharp knife, high-quality assembly, convenient and easy to use
I’ve been using it for about two months, it’s made of quality steel and has a good weight. Great tool for the money. I recommend!

Long Positive Detailed Review
So this is an excellent multi-tool for alot of reasons. It was my first pick when I was looking for a daily driver. I will first write a mini review on every individual tool, then I will write a more macroscopic review.Starting with the Pliers. The pliers are quite good. They are very thick, I have never been worried about them failing. I will also say that they do not have any exposed spring, and in the 8 months I have owned these pliers, whatever mechanism that is used to keep the jaws open has not weakened even a bit. The teeth are quite solid, and have not received any noticeable damage upon study. Full disclaimer, I have used the pliers the least out of all the tools except the awl. The size at the very tip of the pliers is 35mm. These pliers are not quite as needle nose as one may desire, but when clenched the nose is 2.7×5.3mm rectangle, which is pretty small. The wire-cutters are, in my opinion, the weakest part of the tool as a whole, but will still suffice for a vast majority of tasks. They come quite sharp, and the tool will never shear apart. The jaws of this tool are firmly in place, so if your wire refuses to cut, you will not damage the tool as a whole, only the sharpness of the wire cutters. Though they come sharp, I was surprised how quickly they dulled. A 14 gauge steel wire put a small dent in them. Admittedly that was a job for dedicated pliers, but it should be noted that 14 gauge steel is too much. The cutters still work great, I just don’t use them for heavy gauge wire anymore.The legs of the tool rotate extremely well, it takes no great effort to move them, but it isn’t so little that gravity will ever do it.The knife:The knife is a clip point blade of pretty decent sharpness. There is a hole near the base both to grip and pull out the knife, and to alleviate weight. This hole is clearly stamped and unfinished/unsanded. This is a general feature about this knife that I talk about later, but I am okay with it. The knife is made out of some form of high carbon steel. It does rust, and it rusts faster than the rest of the tool. This is not a huge issue for me, because I take care of my tools. The knife is sharpened easily enough, and isn’t high maintenance, but it isn’t stainless steel either. Every couple of months (unless you work in a high-caustic environment) give the whole tool a once over and you’ll be fine.Screwdriver:The screwdriver is excellent, and I really mean that. It is my most used tool. It takes standard size screwdriver bits, but it comes with 8 of its own double sided bits. The bits stay in via a magnet at the base of the screwdriver, and it is strong enough not to let the bit fall out even when shaking it. I love the fact that you can rotate the screwdriver at a 90 or 180 angle from the rest of the tool, and it is implemented in the best way by locking it in with their new fancy locking system (which is awesome btw, super comfortable and one handed, do it with your eyes closed type system). Two items to note. The screwdriver does not let you keep a double sided bit installed when the tool is closed. A normal bit will work, but not the double sided ones that it comes with. All of the bits that come with it have their type and size printed on the side of that head. All the bits that come with it I have found to be pretty hard, but I have not stress tested them. The bits that come are a T10 (the tool takes this type for disassembly), T15, Flathead 2.5 & 4 & 6, Philips 0 & 1 & 2. The heads have their own little removable compartment on the tool case, which does its job well.File/Ruler:The file does a good job, nothing to complain about. Ruler is excellent, but I would have preferred a black ink as opposed to a tan ink, as it is on a silvery metal, so it can be hard to see in all but perfect lighting. Measuring with a caliper, I can say that the markings on the ruler are (at least to my eye), accurate up to 0.1 mm.Can Opener:Does its job well, is sharp, no complaints.Bottle Opener:My most used bottle opener, is quite good. It would take effort to fail a bottle opener, but it is done well.Its tip is a Flathead screwdriver, from what I can tell it is size 5. It eliminates the need for the double sided flathead bit that the knife comes with basically completely. I would have preferred a different double sided bit, but eh, no biggie.Awl:This is the first time I have ever opened the awl. I don’t know what this is for. Uh, it looks fine I guess. It is often said that the least important part of a multitool is the awl… This is true. It has a stamped hole in it, not sure if that is important. The edge of that stamp is sharp, but easily sanded.Wood Saw:Its a wood saw on a multitool, if you need more that dowel rods cut, go get a bigger saw. I will say it is ight for sharpness out of the box. Obviously you wouldn’t use this to cut down a tree (I mean you could, but you would only get like 4-5 small trees out of it). If you need something else cut, and you can’t do a slicey job of it, I think this is one of the best wood saws I have seen on a multitool.The weird curvy saw:Eh, it is a weird curvy saw, see the clip point knife for more detail.Tool as a whole:Now to see the forest and not the trees;The knife is solid. It is fairly heavy, but that isn’t an issue for me. I can say with certainty that this is not stainless steel. It is definitely steel, but not stainless. As a whole, I would say it is mostly some form of carbon steel. When I first bought this knife, about a month after I saw one of my favorite youtubers review this knife in a scientific stress test against other tools. He is really good, you should check him out. He calls this the Mossy Oak for the whole of the review, and it makes top 3 consistently IMO.https://youtu.be/Q9E2PjjdCAM?list=PLjT3B9r2z3fWwh2unOhjJ87HTSBnXEUyy&t=115Now for the tools biggest weakness and strength. It is basically completely stamped. Make no mistake, this is a cheap cheap knife, but it is a *good* cheap knife. It does everything a fancy knife can do, often better. When I say it is cheap, that does not at all show when it comes to performance. It is cheap in that it is constructed cheaply, but that does not mean it isn’t durable. When I say it is cheap, I mean that it is comprised exclusively of stamped steel (excluding screws). This shows in that every single edge is rough and sharp. They say this was sandblasted, and perhaps it is true, but it doesn’t show. What can be said is that they compensate for this on the handles by lining them with rolled plastic, so it is very comfortable to hold, particularly for bigger hands. It is only upon close inspection and disassembly of the knife will you notice the shortcuts taken on it. Shortcuts are good. Shortcuts mean you can get one of the best multitools on amazon for $20. If you pick and choose where you take your shortcuts so that you are only taking them where it doesn’t matter, you did good. This knife does that beyond well, and it is my first choice for multitool. Hard recommend.

Appears Very Capable
Just received the product this afternoon – so this obviously this is not a long-term test. To me this Multitool is a respectable competitor to the expensive competition. I must state that I have virtually the very same tool produced and labeled by the number 1 selling manufacturer of these products. Except for the fact that this multi-tool, is a heavier – they are very similar. When you look at them side-by-side, you cannot detect any difference in visual quality. How well this holds-up after many years of use, is anyone’s guess. However, for the price, this tool is well engineered and a great bargain when compared with the “Name-Brand” product – as long as you don’t demand a very light-weight product!

I like this item, it does not contain too much oil and is working perfectly. Lots of tools and utensils you can use. An absolute necessity for a car.

I’ve never seen a multi tool explode up close before. — well shucks, who woulda thought a length of 12 guage wire (that’s 2mm for you folks in metric) would zing across the room in bits and pieces like that. Awww yeah. I mean if that’s not your thing, best keep. Seriously, yes, don’t do this.
