Schrade Delta Class Clench Multi-Tool 6.5in with 9 Tools in 1 Made of 2Cr Stainless Steel for EDC

I like it, very useful and affordable price

I got the tool a week ago. I do like the toolset on it, the scissors are really nice. The blade is not locked, but that's OK with me, I even sharpened it. However, the blade becomes really loose today. A little push will make it close. I only used it to cut some paperboard. But this is not the ugly part. The ugly part is when I try to tighten the screw, it breaks in half. Now I am stuck with a free shake blade with a broken screw. You call this a tough tool? I don't think so.

I bought this because I have bought a lot of Schrade knives in the past. I have a Gerber Multi-tool in my pack but this I carry on my belt. I can get the tool out of its holster with one hand (NB you have to put the tool in the holster with the belt clip pointing DOWN or the tool's clip will catch on the inside of the holster.). I have used the various tools for purposes they were not built for, e.g. using the long screwdriver as a pry bar when removing spent casing stuck in pistols or rifles. I admit I don't use it everyday but it has worked when I needed it. It's less expensive than Gerber or Leatherman tools and that helps. Especially it I ever brake one.

I have a number of Leatherman and Gerber multitools, and I love the design of this multitools for EDC. You often use a scissors much more than a bottle opener, saw, or any other weird dadgets, so it's a good trade off imo. For $34 bucks this is a 5 star multitool, however there are things to be improved.. Pliers is a bit wobbly. The joints need thinner bushings. Phillips driver could easily be a bit holder, is stronger steel was used. If this design was made by Leatherman or victorinox, it would be my dream tool. In other words, it needs to be made of harder steel, and have tighter tolerances in the manufacturing. But for what it costs, good deal, very replaceable.

After getting a defected replacement, I’m happy to say it’s a good product. Not great. I love the fact that it has all the basics that you’d need for EDC and camping. And that pair of scissors , are awesome. Provided that the quality will hold overtime, I’d say go ahead and buy it. Only time will tell.

Very handy EDC multitool, just the right size. Only down side is the file, it's not over good. Beside that it's thumbs up. 👍
