FLISSA Multitool, 18 in 1 Camo Multitool Pliers with Fire Starter, Window Breaker, Whistle, Stainless Steel EDC Gear with Sheath - Perfect for Survival, Simple Repair, Outdoor, Camping

Very nice multi-tool. I bought two, would recommend. Don’t be too rough with the needle nose jaws though, they will break lol

Recently, I read an interview with Mr. Tim Leatherman from 2019 in which he stated about the Leatherman clones coming from China, "The price is about one-tenth of ours, but the quality is about one-twentieth. Nevertheless, the day is going to come when the price is 50 percent of ours but the quality is 80 percent."Well, unfortunately for Mr. Leatherman, that day is here. The Leatherman Wave's patent has expired, and now the opportunity for a true Wave clone is possible.Enter the Flissa 16-in-1 multitool.This is the closest to a Leatherman copy I've ever seen, along with the Ozark Trail Multiforce, and the price is about 25% of the Wave and the quality is near 90%, at least on the particular Flissa multitool which I've received. Results may vary. I'll get to the 90% in a minute.Compared to the Ozark Trail Multiforce, the Flissa is far smoother to fold and unfold, the liner locks are much less stiff, and the Flissa features replaceable wire cutters and a precision glasses screwdriver, while the OT Multiforce does not. And the Flissa is cheaper to boot.Now for the mandatory Wave comparison, I will admit that I no longer own a Leatherman Wave. At one point, however, for about two days, I did. I decided to return it based on the buyer's remorse associated with paying over $120 for a single tool. Therefore, I don't think I'm qualified to compare this Flissa tool to the Wave, but I must say that the Wave was a fine tool when I handled it, although definitely not fine enough to warrant a 4x price differential from the Flissa.Anyhow, I digress. On to the actual tool itself.The black coating is painted on as opposed to being oxidized black. This means that over time, the paint will chip off and the tool will be less black. Leatherman paints some of their multitools as well, such as the Skeletool and Signal. I don't think it is a problem.The only other problem with this tool is that if you order the black version, prepare to sharpen the serrated blade, as the blade is painted over upon arrival. This wasn't a deal breaker for me. I can sharpen a blade if it means saving $100.These issues could likely be avoided by buying the plain stainless steel Flissa, but I like the look of the black one better.Those are the only reasons I would say this tool is 90% the quality of a Leatherman Wave, based on my limited experience. That, and the Wave using slightly better steel. I don't notice a difference.I can say for certain, however, that this is the best copy of a Leatherman Wave I've found so far, and while some people may deny it - probably due to the embarrassment over having spent $120 for a single tool - the Flissa seems like a very good alternative to more expensive options.Hopefully this can be a wake-up call for Leatherman to stop overpricing their tools and start truly innovating again.

TLDR: For $26-$30 I don't think you will find much better. It is not the same quality you find when spending $150. However the $150 tool is also not 5x the quality of this tool. If you drink the kool-aid and think you just got to have the $150 name brand tool, then go get that tool. Don't buy this and then cry about it not being Swiss or made in Oregon.I added some pictures for size comparison and a reference for the sheath since I recommend upgrading that.For my particular tool, I had to loosen up the implement screws just a tad. I could still pull them out with my nails but it was rather stiff brand new. These are not proprietary screws like some manufacturers use so you can easily do this. All of my blade locks worked perfectly. I had no issues with my pliers not working or having bad handles. In fact my pliers work exactly how they would after break in periods. This could be a cause of concern down the road though if they get too loose.You can tell the metal is not ideal for its intended use. For example the knife is not going to be 420HC steel like its competitor. Lets be honest, 420HC is pretty low tier to start with so I'm not upset that I didn't spend $150 for low tier metal. The pliers cutter seem to be doing pretty good against .032 safety cable.It comes with a #1 cross tip - 3/16 flat tip combo bit. It had good retention but I swapped it for a #2 cross tip - 3/16 combo bit. You can very easily do the magnet mod and use full size non-retention style bits if you want.I probably use my can opener more than anyone would expect but as an aviation tech we use quart cans to service fluids. It's holding up well so far and I have no issues with it bending when used to make the spout.Sheath: It's nothing to write home about but its perfectly suitable for what its meant to do. I would have liked to see it made with double stitching. It will hold up to abuse but I expect to replace the sheath within 3-6months. I would recommend buying an upgraded sheath if you find yourself crawling around a lot.Overall I'm perfectly happy with the purchase so far and I would buy it again. I would caution people who don't actually want or need the bit driver. I think you can spend a few more dollars and get a better variety of tools at the expense of getting rid of the bit driver for a more traditional model.
