Customer Response

A shadow of its former self
You know, it's a shame really. Schrade made what was in my opinion one of the best multi-tools for the money. Sure you could buy better but you'd end up spending a lot more. This latest tool from Schrade (It's the same tool really, just manufactured differently in a different place) is a cheap imitation of the original. The metal feel cheap and the jaws are no longer laminated, riveted steel. It's merely cast in one piece out of a cheaper metal. The blades too are not what they were. Too bad too because I was hoping to replace my 18 year old tool with a new one. I will but it won't be with this "new" Schrade.

what a disappointment


I have been the owner/user of a Schrade multitool since its debut. While it has had it's faults, such as the small screwdriver that doesn't lock and the lock mechanism that can be easily sprung by pushing back on the small screwdriver, the Schrade ST1 multitool was the most comfortable to use, most useful, largest pliers multi-tool I have ever used.

I was very disappointed when Schrade went under, and thrilled when the Chinese version appeared (My old one broke). Wow- the pliers are much smaller, smaller than my leatherman Blast. The tools are stiff and of a lighter gauge metal. This is NOT the same tool. The world waits for someone- Leatherman, are you listening?- to come up with an improved version of this great tool.

Very Handy
This is the second Tough Tool that I purchsed. The first one that I've owned for a couple of years and has proven very handy to use around the house and in the yard. This one I plan to keep in my car glove box as an all around utility tool.

Don't think you'll be getting a bargain Leatherman
I bought this to abandon in Mexico. I check my bags going down and carry on coming home because of liquids that I have to pack down and connections to make returning. This is quite crude, but then again costs about a 5th of the cost of a comparable Leatherman. The handles seem lightly made. The third blade in on both handles hangs when you close it. But it is under $20.

I've carried a Leatherman Wave for years. It is the best travel tool there is. This one, not so much. But, it will be useful I'm sure. I've bought and abandoned a number of multitools over the years because of carry on restrictions. This ranks right up with the no name ones you can get at the mini mart or bargain sporting goods stores. Maybe just a little better and about the same price.

Very Versital Item--One Flaw
I have one of this product in each of my four cars, motorcycle and with my Carhart work pants and chore coat. Its only flaw is that the tabs that restrain the tools from opening beyond their intended limit are not strong enough if too much hypertension is applied in use. The tabs cannot be bent back into place.
