Product Description
Slip this ingenious tool in your wallet, purse or glove-box and hopefully, you'll never need to use it. But in a situation where it's the only tool available--camping, weather emergency, stranded while traveling--it can be a life-saver. Stainless steel construction thick-enough for practical tool-use but not so heavy to be cumbersome. Improved version includes two new tools (file and nail puller) plus more-functional saw and sharper knife. Makes a great thoughtful gift. One-year warranty and Jack's Tool Shed worry-free Satisfaction Guarantee.

 Ok in a pinch, not meant for everyday use. December 3, 2008

Fair warning: I wrote this review for an out of production item that is essentially this same piece with one more wrench slot and a slightly different Protractor. Either way, my previous review stands for this as well:
I hope nobody is considering this tool for anything other than having an emergency backup to what should already be every day carry tools. It's decent quality, but I certainly wouldn't put it at "top notch" status. And the functions are mostly hard to pull off with any degree of force. The knife is on a short side which makes it difficult to use. The "screwdriver" which is little more than one corner ground to a flat-head shape is only useful in wide-open areas with larger screws, and with the knife on the same edge, one has to be very careful indeed.
The only tools that I found to be decently easy to use are the saw and bottle opener. The saw since it was on the long side and the opposite side (ruler) allows for a decent grip. The Bottle opener is equally easy to operate.
The can opener forces you to use the saw as a finger grip and the wrench slots pretty much require that any bolts are not very tight, and that's if you can get the tool on it in the first place.
This really didn't fit well in my money clip wallet, but it might in a full sized wallet. So, as an emergency backup, it might get you out of a jam and could actually come in handy once in a while. Forget using it as a keychain tool... it's way too dangerous to leave out in the open (and the plastic cover that came with mine was laughably cheap). It won't make it through the TSA unless someone's asleep at the wheel, so traveling with it isn't really an option either.
I'd give it a 2.5 star, but for the money, it's hard to beat, so I'm rounding up. You could always toss one in the glove compartment, toolbox, bookbag, etc. but I strongly recommend a Small Leatherman Micra or Squirt if compact is what you seek. Those are FAR more functional (AND SAFER!!!) in comparison. Get it if your curiosity or gearlust must be sated.

What an awesome little toy! I haven't used it much so I can't vouch for its longevity but it sure does the trick! A little worried before I got it how it might hold up in a leather wallet but it comes in a nice little carrying case and goes right inside the wallet. Haven't tried to go through airport security with it yet but I think it might actually be ok!

I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend. I bought him a wallet and got this to put in the wallet. It seems really useful, but I never personally used it so I can only give it 3 stars. I couldn't imagine how it could have a blade on it, but it does and seems nice.
A neat useful conversation piece! May 17, 2008

Tough, chromelike shiny, ll-tools-in-one comes in a sleeve with a numbered card describing the tools. Fits easily into your wallet and I used it soon after I got it to loosen a screw, and to open a stubborn plastic candy bag. It's light, bright, and handy! ...and everybody wants to look at it and find the 11 tools.
