Nextool EDC Keychain Multitool, 10 in 1 Mini Pocket Knife Multi Tool with Needlenose Pliers, Scissors, Mini Useful Cool Gadgets for Men, Gifts For Dad Men Him Boyfriend-Dark

I have bought just about every keychain EDC out there. My favorite was The L Squirt. Overall good and the file was its best feature. But L doesn’t make it anymore. . The G Dime was very disappointing. The only good thing on it was the bottle opener. The file was a joke. And it was a standard passable unit. I tried the NextTool MiniSailor which was a little heavy and was also passable. And the SOG PowerPint. Again, all of these just passable with the Squirt my favorite but with the usual limitation. Screwdrivers varied and had their weaknesses. And the scissors were pretty weak on most. All too short.I was looking around and came across this NextTool Pro and I’m so happy I did! My needs are a good blade, scissors and file. The scissors on this tool are the best of all the keychain models and better than some of my full-size EDC tools. Although the L Wave has a good pair. The scissors on this model are just exceptional and the long handles and long scissors cut through card stock and zip ties with ease. Also a big plus is the screwdrivers, file and the blade are much longer than all the other models. Makes working with them a lot easier. And be careful cuz this blade is really sharp. This is by far the best keychain EDC out there. Yes, it’s a bit more bulky than any of the others mentioned, but it has so many exceptional features that I’ll keep in my 5th pocket on my jeans and shorts. I am so happy I kept looking around. This keychain EDC is the best of the bunch far surpassing the others mentioned. It’s worth every bit even though it is just a bit more bulky. But not enough for me to keep in my pocket, even my gym shorts everyday.

I’m surprised this has been holding up for this long in terms of how great it looks after like a year and a half. No rusting, no marring, no scratches on the material, looks pristine after being jangled in my pockets and backpack for a whole. It does need to be lubricated but otherwise it’s exactly as advertised. It was stiff before i lubricanted it.

Pros: No cheap materials. Well constructed. Only tool I've seen with descent quality plyers and scissors in the same tool. Blade takes a good edge. Can opener, file, and screwdriver work well.Cons: SMALL - too small for anything substantial. Can only get 2 fingers around grips. Cutting a cardboard box would be okay but I wouldn't try making a feather stick with it.2025-04-10: Manufacturer contacted me and offered a refund. Unexpected gesture, shows they stand behind their products. Just to be clear, the tool is useful, just not for larger projects. I will keep it. Adding one star for outstanding customer service. BTW: I have since found they make a larger model that will likely fit the bill for heavier tasks. Based on my experience so far, I will order it too.2025-04-14: Used it several times over the weekend for EDC type tasks. Turned out to be a little more helpful than I would have first imagined. Adding one more star.

Excellent for what it is and the price. I am thinking about getting 3 or 4 more as gifts. The build is fine, blade is sharp, scissors cut, bottle opener works, and easy to open.

My favorite mini multi-tool. Beats Leatherman Squirt because it has real scissors. Tools are all well-made, though the files on Leathermans are made of the right hardened file steel and this isn't, but everything else is spot on. Terrific price. I give them as gifts.

UPDATE 2025.02.07Nextool support did end up getting back to me and offered to replace or refund my multitool. I chose a replacement as I would like to see if the next one is any better than the first. They also explained that their response was delayed because most of the workforce is enjoying the Chinese Spring Festival, which is believable. Updating to 3 stars for now, with room for a fourth if the replacement tool is higher quality.ORIGINAL REVIEWThis is a cool-looking toy made of garbage quality metal, not a useful tool. I wanted to like it but I've been looking for a keychain multi-tool, not a paperweight.The first time I tried to use the pliers they snapped in half (see photo). I've been using pliers for a very long time and have never broken a pair.I contacted Nextool via their website chatbot and they told me to email their "amazon team". That email didn't get a response at all. In good faith, I tried one more time by emailing Nextool and their "amazon team" together, offering one more chance for them to provide some tiny shred of customer support. Again, no response.I recommend you spend your hard earned money elsewhere, on a tool that is not junk from a company that stands by their products.

I miss this thing. Sure hope the agent who ended up with it likes it like I did.

Best utility knife for my keys that I have ever used. Has saved my bacon more than a few times. But beware of the key ring hole that this hangs from; it is held by the same screw that holds together a crucial hinge for the tool to fold in/out. The screw, over time, loosen by itself, and the knife will fall off of your keys. And eventually the hinge will fall apart. So, my suggestion is to add a keyring to another part of the tool.
