NexTool Pocket Tool E1, Pocket Knife Multi-Tool with Replaceable Folding Utility Knife, Dual Head Screwdriver and Scissors, Mini Multitool for EDC Carry, Engraving, Cutting and Repair, Small Multitool

I work in electronics, performing repair of things like laptops/Chromebooks, computers, tablets and phones. In an effort to reduce the weight of my EDC, I looked at the typical tasks I perform on a regular basis and tried to get rid of things I rarely use. This (paired with a bit kit) has become my go-to EDC device. The knife works for cutting open boxes, envelopes, etc... I actually rarely use it, as I also carry a light weight utility blade holder for that purpose. It also has a hobby knife, which I find very convenient for precision work. The scissors are very robust and cut quite nicely. Haven't needed to use the scraper/bottle opener, but have used it to open packages, which it handles quite well. The big thing for me is the bit holder. That comes in super handy, and the ability to change out to other bits adds to its versatility. My only gripe is, I wish it had more reach. Going to look for a bit extension to add to my kit. That should round out my carry quite nicely. Considering the quality, price and convenience, I'm very happy with this product, but I wouldn't use it on heavy duty tasks. I doubt it would survive.

I bought this tool out of curiosity and because the scissors looked better than most tools. I thought the lack of the tools locking in the open position would be an issue but I couldn't pass it up for the price. It's NOT a big deal at all to me. They open crisply and are sturdy I'm not worried about them closing on me during use at all. The scissors are really nice. The knife blade is really small but it can handle basic cutting. The hobby knife is a cool little feature and comes with extra blades and they are simple to change out. It has an actual real screwdriver if you will, it is very sturdy and is the leatherman style bit that can be swapped around. The package opener is nice and it has a file flathead screwdriver combo. You can't beat this little tool for the price it's a pretty decent little EDC. I keep my leatherman surge handy for bigger tasks.

I mainly purchased this tool for the hobby knife and scissors but there are other tools that are useful. I have not had this tool long so I will update if there are any new discoveries. here is my opinion for each implement on this tool.1. Screwdriver- this is a good tool with a reversible bit. appears to be same style as the flat Leatherman bits. only complaint is there is only one bit. if this tool were available with a set of interchangeable bits I would gladly pay more for that option. I have not found Nextool bits for sale anywhere so I am not sure if they make any. not sure I want to spend $30 or more to buy a Leatherman bit set especially since I don't know they would fit with 100%certainty.2. Hobby knife- I love having this in my pocket for small tasks and I find its the perfect tool for opening clam shell plastic packaging. this came with 3 additional blades and they are X-acto name brand so that's awesome.3. Scissors - The way the scissors fold up is pretty unique and allows there to be a rather large sized scissors compared to the relatively small sized multitool. cuts well too. definitely one of the highlights of this multitool.4. File - not great the crossed hatched file is ok for filing nails but don't see it would be useful for much else the opposite side is pretty useless. would have preferred a different tool here.5 knife- the knife is pretty bad the edge grind is very blunt and the thumb stud makes it impossible to sharpen the left side of the knife. the thumb stud it pressure fit into the blade and not removeable. really bad design. once the knife goes dull its worthless and mine was dull out of the box. luckily I usually carry a separate knife anyway.6. can opener- this is a competent tool although I don't often have a use for it, it can me used as a cap lifter as well if you are a beer drinker. It comes sharp enough to blunt force cut through a tin can but if you sharpen the edge to a chisel grind you can certainly use this tool as a box or package opener too.If i were to make suggestions on how to improve this tool...1. move the knife into the center and use a nail nick to open it that way you have a blade that can be easily sharpened2. move the hobby knife to the outside and put the thumb stud on it as it is the single most difficult tool in to open on this device.3. replace the file with something more useful or use a better quality file.despite the issues I still really like this tool. its small, aesthetically pleasing and the tools I bought it for (hobby knife, Scissors, and screwdriver) all work exceptionally well so I'm ok with the lack luster other tools. But everyone's needs are different which is why I broke down the performance of each tool individually.

Nice little multi tool. Solid compact and a good useful assortment of tools.

This tool has a driver (with additional driver bits available), file, scissors, blade, and most interesting, a craft blade (like a surgical scalpel). It's really versatile and useful for everyday work and life tasks. I confess to mostly open packages with it but the driver bit has come in handy several times.

The media could not be loaded. It's a little smaller than expected, but I think it's perfect. The knife is what you would expect for the price, and it doesn't lock. The file, and box opener are at the same level. What makes this standout is the scissors, xacto blade holder, and the flatbit holder. Nextool's bits are slightly thinner, and use a different locking mechanism. Most likely why I had a little trouble getting the extender to fit, and couldn't get the ratchet tool to work either. Every other two sided I tested worked, and feel confident if I sanded down my ratchet tool's bit part by .5mm it would probably fit. It seems to be built better than most knockoff multi tools, and the metal looks better than whatever SOG uses. I'll update this if it falls apart unexpectedly, but I'm pretty sure that I will get more than my 25 bucks worth.

Finally a safe way to carry hobby blades. Really useful and convenient. Good quality on the other tools too. Glad I bought this. Planning on putting them in the families stockings this year.

Kind of flimsy, the blade is too small and all the doodads are hard to get deployed. The scissors are decent and the optional bit kit is useful. I stopped carrying this and went back to my SAK, no bits but the blades and scissors are much better than these. It was worth a shot though, this multitool is affordable enough to try.
