Multitool, 22-in-1 Multi-tool Pliers with Fire Starter, Emergency Whistle, Glass Breaker, Safety Locking and Nylon Sheath for Survival, Camping, multitool for men

That is actually 4.5, not 4 stars.I own quite a few name brand multi tools, I'm a Mechanic, I trained as a gunsmith and machinist, I target shoot and otherwise spend a lot of time in the woods so I wanted a Leatherman Signal, but it does happen that occasionally you lose a tool and I didn't want to lose the 135 bucks for the Signal, so I decided to give this a try because it had gotten such glowing reviews.I have an old top of the line SOG Powerlock manufactured when they were excellent and used good steel. I've had it for over 20 years and I compare all others to this tool.The Rocktol Signal clone has far exceeded my expectations, the tools are more robust and typically larger than the same tools mirrored on my SOG. The pliers mate up well and are well finished and the wire cutter blades are replaceable unlike the SOG's cutters. The knife is 1/4" longer and is thicker and beefier overall, the serrations are a good design, well finished and sharp, the steel is similar to the steel used in my newer baby SOG and it came shaving sharp. The scissors are well done, sharp, run smoothly and are larger than the scissors on my SOG. The file isn't quite as nice, it is a mill-bastard design, but does not cut in both directions and I'm dubious about the diamond file on the other side, the edges are not cut as files but rather are smooth and it is significantly larger than the file on my SOG. The saw uses a good quality tooth arrangement, is very sharp and is about1/2" longer than the file on my SOG, it rivals the saw that came on my Swiss Army Trekker and is almost as long. I haven't tried the ferro rod, but I like that it's covered in a plastic shrink tube that can be pulled or cut off when needed instead of having to scrape off a coating in an emergency when it's freezing out and your hands are numb with cold. It was difficult for me to get a sound out of the whistle, but it does work, just not as well as the ultra loud emergency whistles I habitually carry with me. I'm unsure of how well the hammer/hex wrench will hold up because it appears to be made of plastic, but it could be plastic covered metal, I cannot tell, but the glass breaker is good.The other tools, the flat blade screwdriver, glasses screwdriver, can/bottle opener/wire stripper are equally well executed and sharp where they need to be sharp and the awl is well designed and sharp.The overall quality seems to be excellent and is easily as good as the smaller, mid-range Gerber's that I own. There are some finishing marks on the tools, but no machining marks, everything operates smoothly and is symmetric. The grips are rounded and comfortable, even the belt holster is robust, sturdy, the stitching is straight and it looks like it will last for years.Overall I'm very impressed, I bought it on Prime day, so I got a great deal on it and I don't have any complaints that aren't nit-picky, except maybe for the file, which will work ok, it just won't cut as fast as one that is sharp in both directions and I'm shaky about the hammer, and especially the hex wrench but we'll see how they hold up. Would I recommend this tool? Not if it is the only tool you'll have with you in a desperate life or death survival situation, but as long as you have this and even a basic Swiss Army knife with you, then yes. If you're using it EDC, as an always-in-the-glovebox tool or around the campsite..... Absolutely. I use my tools pretty hard, I typically don't abuse them, but they do see quite a bit of serious use and I'm going to look more into these clones in the future. The quality is there and they tend to be well appointed and well laid out, and it will sure hurt a lot less if you lose or break them. I admit to keeping Craftsman tools in my box at the shop because not every job calls for Snap-on or Matco and I've only ever broken one Craftsman socket that I was misusing in an impact wrench, and if these clones hold up as well as that, I'll be relying on these reviews to buy more.

Haven't used much yet, but in playing around, the tolerances aren't as perfect as gerber and leatherman, but imo they aren't bad either, especially for the money. pliers ok, with the tip angled slightly towards putting full closed pressure precisely at the tip, and not sure if the joint it rotates on will be perfect over time, but initially there's not any bad play that I notice. the pliers replaceable cutting pieces catch on one another a bit as they engage, but this isn't a big problem for me that I'm aware of. Saw is not uniformly pristine in finishing, but it is up to par in initial sharpness and angularity with the best of them in my opinion.Like almost all aspects of design and implementation. Metal File is missing the saw articulations, as I expected given the description didn't suggest it did have it, but other than that, it is impressively finished otherwise being reasonably similar to Leatherman in initial quality and appearance at least.The ferro rod is well enough done in my book. It should stay in place ok, and does release for use by rotating--the plastic part could have been better quality, but it's passable given that no other tools with all these features have this from my knowledge.The big surprise to the plus side was that the tool itself weighs in at ~9.5/9.6 oz...considering the Leatherman signal is what, like 7.something, and does not have any scissors? I get that scissors are not required, but I just like having them, and I do use them--for example they are still a relatively safer way to cut only a small tip off the end of paracord--and these did successfully cut even the warrior cord with the kevlar in it, albeit with a couple / three snips. I'm not a huge fan of warrior cord by the way--the fishing line tends to get snagged up in it the more you tie different knots and untie them. It's not terrible, just not the best for all purposes. I also like that they left out the carabiner. I see no use for the carabiner on the leatherman signal, and that's one reason I have avoided buying the Leatherman signal for years now. I settled for the Charge+ which tool load out I like the best--it's just missing the awl unless you try to consider the can opener something close to the awl--which really it's just not. The awl on this rocktol is actually one of the best awls I've ever seen. I haven't used it yet, and it's not as super solid or thick as some awls, but if it were made of a really good steel, I'd say it's actually the perfect dimensions--it just remains to be seen how well it holds up for various purposes--but by the looks of it, it is one of the best in initial design quality and versatility I've seen.

Took a chance on this tool for work since I cant carry my multi tools on a plane when I have to travel to the office.I didn't want to spend a lot on on a multi tool just to leave it at work.I have to say I was surprised by the quality of this tool and compared to my Leatherman signal this holds up quite well. It is slightly heavier than the signal but it also has two more outside tools (scissors and file) than the signal.The hammer is wider than the signals which I like because it leaves less of a chance of missing what I'm striking. At first glance the hammer looks plastic but I used a diamond scribe tool and scraped off the black coating to reveal metal. The hex bit holder in the hammer does not hold the bits, they just fall out. As far as I can see so far, not having a good bit holder is the only downside to this tool. It seems like I can replace one of the internal tools with a Leatherman bit holder but that remains to be seen.The pliers don't open quite as wide as the signals but when closing the jaws on something thin, the handles on Rocktol are much closer together and more comfortable than the signal's.This tool is great for EDC and to give as a gift it does not feel cheaply made in anyway.

Has many useful tools. Not quite as good as the really expensive ones but for the price will no doubt prove useful. Seems solid.

Perfect for a hand me down.. has it all in the power of a belt kit..try hard item. Never broke on me and i was just eyeing it for a future career.
