It is a good looking tool. It could be used, unchanged, as a prop in some science fiction survival movie. Interesting curves, high tech looking, and space age looking vents and finish. The blade is large and functional. There's a proper Phillips driver, a good flathead driver, and the locking system is sturdy that the tools don't rattle.
Alas, there are many downsides. It is advertised as a one-hand opening tools. It can be done, it certainly isn't easy. Unlike other multi-tools, these pliers slide out from the handles. To open, depress both buttons on the handles on the tool and slide the plier jaws forward. Try doing that with one hand. Second biggest problem is that you need to open the pliers to get to the tools in the handle (except for the blade). Even with the pliers open, it's not exactly easy to do. Which brings us to the blade. As is apparent from the pictures, the blade covers seem something of afterthought, almost like a sidecar.
