This item is large and heavy, which is unsurprising. It's constructed well, but excessively oily. The design, however, is flawed. Using the pliers causes either palm pain or forces you towards the pliers, risking a pinch. The design is poorly considered. The knife is large and sharp, but lacks a locking mechanism, unlike the saw. The saw and knife function correctly, but the knife cannot be opened with one hand. If you have small hands and want a heavy, inexpensive tool, this will suffice. Otherwise, consider other options.
