Amazon Basics 8-in-1 Stainless Steel Multitool with Safety Lock and Nylon Sheath, Red

Love these! Have had about a year now and live along the Gulf of Mexico and still no rust or corrosion. These are our go to tool for fishing, boating… Would definitely buy these again, well worth it for the price. The tools all work well and work better than more expensive leatherman tools we have had.

This won't win awards, and it's thicker than i anticipated it to be, but it is a highly affordable multi-tool that will suit most people's needs and could make a great holiday stocking stuffer, or just handy to keep in a nearby drawer for the odd uses you'll need them for. I can't pretend that I'd ever use all of these tools, and my dad will swear by a Leatherman and that it's the only worthwhile multi-tool to have, but he also performs very rigorous uses with his working on all manner of things from the house to mechanical work. For my purposes this has done the job mostly doing odds and ends around the house such as... loose screws in cabinets or light switches, plumbing valves for sprinklers, opening and closing house crawl space vents (with pliers because the tab is so small), things like that. It has a sheath with a belt loop but i rarely wear a belt. I like the clip on it because it makes it easy to attach to a belt loop, or onto something else if you need to stow it while climbing a ladder etc.

Well built

Excellent for EDC. I like the lightweight design with plenty of cutouts, the locking blade, the imbedded spring to keep the pliers open, the little saw that I used on a small backyard branch yesterday! It's lightweight but not tiny-- large enough to grip with my whole hand while using the tools. I have a few expensive name brand folding multitools like this, but they're just too heavy for EDC and they don't have a locking blade. The pouch that comes with it makes carrying it on the belt easy.

I send each of my grandchildren off to college with one of these. Within a month or so each one sends me a photo of something they fixed in their dorm room using this tool.

If you compare the listed tool functions there is no difference between the 8-in-1 and the more expensive 10-in-1 Amazon multitool. The dimensions are identical, the styling of the outer handles are slightly different. I looked for this style for two reasons. - The knife and other blade tools are directly accessible like a jack knife, without spreading the pliers handle open. - When used as a pliers the handle surface is relatively smooth and comfortable to grip. This multi-tool is a compromise. I could find no multitool that provided the functionality I thought I needed for what I consider a sane price. I had to add an EDC bit driver to handle the other stuff I do every day. Fortunately both tools can be fit in the same sheath. 1. When using it as a pliers the handles latch firmly in position. The remaining blades have a detent action that holds them in position. 2. All blades block the use of the pliers when they are open (imo, a safety benefit) 3. uses: 4. The knife blade positively locks open, using a leaf spring that engages with the back of the pivoting end. 5. The blades pivot so that their working edges are aligned with the outer handle surface. 6. It's inexpensive enough that I can afford to lose it. Cons: 1. If I didn't wear a web belt, it would be impractical for EDC. 2. It's too large to carry in a pocket, too heavy to hang from the caribiner clip which is too small for Molle. 3. It lacks a file. 4. The assembly quality is mediocre The two handles are different thicknesss and the thicker one is not square. 5. After using it as a folding pocket pliers on a project, I used the knife blade for the first time to cut through some packaging straps. A screw at the pliers/knife pivot sheared off halfway down its threaded section, rendering the pliers, knife and saw unusable. This was to be my primary EDC tool. I've never never been less than satisfied with the quality of an Amazon Basic product, which I why I tried this one. But I've NEVER experienced any folding knife failing at the pivot before this one. I don't know whether the failure was from defective screw, poor choice of screw quality, or an assembly error. If that screw hadn't broken, I could have lived with it. But since it failed under light use, I can't trust the product to do its job when I need it. . I'm returning it for credit

Seems good quality although the tools are a bit hard to pull out compares to others I’ve had.

Got this on a Prime Day sale at 50% off. It's really handy. A great value at twelve dollars. An essential car and kitchen utensil! The knife locks open, so you can use it as a actual knife and not worry about it inopportunely closing on your fingers like some other pocket knives (but, you do have to remember to depress the lock in order to fold the knife back in). Pliers are fully functional. If it also had little scissors, it would be absolutely perfect.

....., sehr gute Qualität zu günstien Preisen. Ich hab schon öfter mal Amazon Basics-Produkte gekauft und wurde bisher nicht enttäuscht - genau so ist es mit diesem Multitool hier, von denen ich einige habe. Das Angenehmste ist, das Gewicht von dem Teil, da es mit nur 180g, nicht die Hose, bzw. den Gürtel "runterzieht" - ist also gut mitführbar. Das Erste hab ich auch hier bei Amazon, gekauft, weils gut "aussieht" und viele Funktionen hat - allerdings fast ein Pfund schwer - völlig unpraktisch !!! Bei diesem hier, rastet die "Zangenfunktion" sogar ein und diese schliesst auch perfekt. Um zu sehen wie die Qualität einer Zange ist, schliesst man die und hällt sie gegen das Licht - bei einer hochwertigen Zange fällt da kein Licht durch - wie bei zb. dieser hier - kann man fast wie eine Pinzette nutzen. Das "klobigste" Multitool, das ich habe, ist tatsächlich dieses "Lathe...", das theoretisch nur mit einem sehr stabilen Ledergürtel mitzuführen ist und auch mehr als das 16fache kostet - nur gut zum Anschauen - an der Baustelle nicht nutzbar, da u.a. auch zu schwergängig - hab ich irgendwo in einer Schublade "rumfliegen" - viel zu schwer. Trifft bei diesem hier, auf keine Funktion zu - und - es ist mit einem Torxschlüssel, zur "Grundreinigung", komplett zerlegbar - findet man auch sehr selten. Bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Multitool - und will es auf diesem Weg, weiterempfehlen. Bei diesen Basics-Produkten, sind mir diese grünen Akkus am herausragensten aufgefallen - für die Schnurlostelefone gibts nichts besseres - besser als jeder DECT-Akku - und deutlich günstiger - und als zweites diese Inbusschlüssel, mit den zölligen Größen dabei - kauft die mal im Einzelhandel ( falls ihr die überhaupt findet --- schraubt mal an einem amerikanischen oder auch manchen japanischen "Mopeds" rum - da braucht man sowas ). Den Vogel schiesst der Basics-Wasserkocher ab - Oma hat einen, vom "deutschen Markenhersteller" - gegen meinen Basic ist das "Spielzeug" und der Basic ist auch vieeeeeel schneller mit Wasserkochen, auch deutlich stabiler gebaut. Bisher kann ich zu den Basic-Produkten, im Gegensatz zu manchen Rezensionen, absolut nichts negatives Berichten/Schreiben - wenn ich ein Produkt/Ware als Basic bekommen kann, hol ich mir das, alleine schon wegen des Kaufpreises und der Produktqualität - die Garantien sind auch die Gleichen, wie bei den angeblich so hochqualitativen Markenprodukten. Nochmal - bis sehr zufrieden - und - gerne wieder.

Great all round inexpensive multi-tool with excellent wide jaw pliers. an decent sized sharp blade, and a variety of saws screwdrivers etc, meaning this excellent multi-tool has all the bits to do the Job! it even has a handy carabiner and a carry case is included too and all of this is available at an excellent value, give-away Amazon Basics price. Glad i bought this one, bright red got an bit of weight to it and sturdy made too...

Muy interesante. Buenos acabados y calidad a precio bajo. Muy buena compra.

I like it

Buena calidad y súper útil
