Multitools, Multi Tool Foldable Pliers with Upgraded Scissors and Screwdriver Set, Stainless Steel Multitools - Pro, Ideal for Camping, Outdoor, Repairing - Gift for Dad Men -Black

I previously had two multitools, one of which was very old and where putting any pressure on the bitholder felt like it would break it, the other was a Christmas present from a well know company but it is uncomfortable to use as a pair of pliers and the built in tools aren't great.I recently saw a multitool where the pliers were sprung, they were really nice to use but were a discontinued product. Many of the Bibury pliers indicate they are sprung but that was not mentioned on this product. The video made me think they were sprung, I asked the question, two people said they weren't, one said they are, I took the gamble and ordered them. The pliers are not sprung :-( , very disappointed.The other negative is regarding the hex bits supplied. The tool has two flathead screwdrivers built in and a further two double ended flathead hex bits are supplied, a total of six flatheads. A double ended Phillips hex bit is supplied but there isn't a Pozidriv bit (which I find is the most common screw I come across). The bits are the sort with a ball bearing in the middle, they probably are available online but I can't quickly find matching bits. There are also two double ended Torx bits, two double ended Allen keys and a bit that I don't even know what to call it! I hope to get around this anomaly with a magnetic hex bit extension.Fortunately I bought them when they were offered with £30 off and I also had a £20 voucher so they only cost me £20. Dilemma - do I return them? So now for the good points.The tool feels very solid, maybe a little heavy for some, but the sort of weight that indicates comfortingquality. The scissors are sprung but it is easy to not open them fully then think they are not sprung, you need to make sure they are locked into place. The (unsprung) pliers are good and the wire cutter just cut through some multi-core cable with ease.The knife is sharp, but the star of the show for me is the blade holder that holds the file. This holds T shank jigsaw bits, such as www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B071S1ZN8M (Bosch jigsaw bits), which enables you to use a huge variety of saw blades. Maybe there are other multitools available with this ability but I didn't see any. This is enormously useful to me so no, I won't be returning it, but I still wish it had sprung pliers!Overall this is a good tool which comes in a nifty case that has side pockets which can hold some jigsaw blades (also a front pocket for the hex bits). A good tool but a slightly different set of hex bits and sprung pliers would make it so much better.

Amazing value. Very well made! Leatherman lookout!

This multitool represents good VFM at it's reduced price. The equivalent Swiss Army multitool seems to be over £100. This tool is quite heavy and seems well made. I had to bend the return spring on the scissors to make them work, but overall a good buy. I also bought the kit with the extra blades etc - well worth it. It contains a scalpel holder and three blades which replace the file. This fits in the pocket on the side of the pouch. There is also a long saw blade which might be handy, but if fitted is too long to close into the body of the tool. Excellent selection of screwdriver blades held in a pocket in the pouch. The plastic belt clip seems a bit flimsy, but does it's job. We'll see how it lasts. All in all, a good buy, much cheaper than the Leathermans & Swiss Army tools, so not the end of the world if it goes missing.

brilliant quality and very handy

great bit off kits well worth the price

Lovely multi tool, love the fact you can use jig saw blades or scaple blades

Great bit of kit, very well made with quality steel, absolute bargain!!!

Great tool from BiBury but slightly let down by the black coating on the serrated blade rendering it blunt. Easy fix with a sharpening rod but I'd go for the upgraded version B12049 as this has all the previous model had but with improvements. I also prefer the newer one because it's not skeletal like this one so much more comfortable in the hand. Still a great tool though just not perfect, go for the newer one.
