RoxonS801S STORM 19 in 1 multitool pliers EDC for Camping, Outdoor with Lockable Saw Blade with Nylon Case (S801S)

So far: The little magnet has stayed inside the bit adapter socket, and the bits and socket fit fine inside the smaller pouch, and I've discovered how to ease the multitool back into the sheath without it catching on the pouch flap that sticks out. The saw and knife lock and the release levers work easily. The other tools and features I've found functional - except I haven't needed to uncork a bottle yet or shatter my way out of a submerged vehicle (not that my van's windshield isn't cracked and chipped enough already anyway come to think of it lol). So this does feel a bit clunky to me. It seems plenty heavy potentially sturdy, and I imagin I can make decent emergency use of this. Someone mentioned the thing broke apart when dropped, so I'll do my best to hang on during use, and see how much utility I can get for however long.

This item is so nice. I really like the big scissor that comes with it since I use it a lot.

The headline sums-up the review, so consider the Roxon if you're in the market for a Gerber everyday tool (EDC) or a SOG - both of which are very nice in their own right, though the price of the Gerber centerdrive is a bit over the top. Consider you can get three Roxons for the price of a single Gerber centerdrive and you'll also have a corkscrew, something the Gerber does not have. The price delta is roughly two-to-one for the SOG and the Leatherman Skeletool. What the Roxon offers is largely value for the price without the well-known brand name.Without analyzing the respective metals, materials or build quality, the Roxon appears well made and the design is well thought-out. Having just received it, I am estimating the sturdiness to be 4/5 and the durability to be 4/5. It's a hefty tool, weighing 415 grams with sheath, 14.6 ounces, even heavier than the Gerber, so it's not something you can easily slip into your pocket. On the other hand, the lower cost may allow you to buy multiple tools and therefore have one each in your glove compartment, backpack and kitchen drawer, making it accessible when you need it.While the Roxon does not have the long screwdriver reach of the Gerber centerdrive, it does have a centered bit holder giving it about the same grip as the Gerber.One gripe, get some native English speakers to edit the Amazon descriptions of the Roxon products. I winced when I read the copy.

I absolutely LOVE it and used it until everything on it was too dull to function.Absolutely can one of their items but make sure it can be maintenanced. I realized basically nothing on this item can be sharpened properly, the most important to me being the scissors. It can't be taken apart for wet stone use and everything is too small for comercial sharpening products that would be destructive to use anyway.So I suppose I will have to figure something out but you can still avoid my mistake

Excellent

The scissors are BEASTLY. No other multi tool has scissors this good.It's got a bit set and in-line driver.The corkscrew and bottle opener work together like a proper waiter's corkscrewThe pliers are tough and ground very wellThe can opener works great (only ever needed to use that one once though)The file is a bit shorter than I'd like, but only because it otherwise does a superb job deburring a nut or bolt you just had to shorten.Even the saw can get through a 1x4 no problem. Leaves a wide kerf, but impressively clean.The knife was a bit of a let down out of the box, but was easy to sharpen up.and the carrying case is lovely.It's a tad on the bulky side for a multi tool, but never unwieldy. I've been using and beating on mine for years and I honestly haven't found a better multitool for a backpack or car glovebox at any price. I'd be happy to drop $200 on a multitool that worked better than this for the tasks I run into, but I just don't think one exists.If roxon wanted to release this thing for triple the money made with even better steel like D2, but changed nothing else, I'd be all over it.The ONLY thing I would have liked to see was replaceable wire cutters and maybe add some tweezers for splinters, and maybe a replaceable saw and file blades (though I'm confident the saw can be sharpened and I've yet to wear either out.)

I have the Gerber center drive and this tool is an excellent budget alternative to it. The main differences are that this one has a saw instead of a serrated edge and has no pry tool but instead you get an awl and a cork opener, a seatbelt cutter and a glass breaker. The scissors are much better on this tool and the main reason to get this over the center drive. It is not one hand open but arguably that makes it more durable since it has less flex.Now for the downsides. Some of the tools are a little hard to get to if you don't have strong nails like the Philips head and the awl. The Philips head is not centered like on the centerdrive but it does come with an adapter to accept standard hex bits. Honestly if the scissors, knife, Philips head, awl, seatbelt cutter, and can/bottle opener were moved to the opposite side of where they sit now it would make this tool better than the center drive in terms of ergonomics because the tools would be openable without unfolding the entire tool and the Philips would be centered like on the centerdrive. Change that and it would be a five star tool.1 month Update: The plastic bit holder it comes with is flimsy and the bits don't fit super snug so the bit adapter fell out and got lost. Now I can't use the bits. I tried cutting a zip tie with the scissors and it dented the cutting edge so now the scissors won't close all the way when cutting. They are made of cheap metal. Changing review to 3 stars.
