NexTool Keychain Multitool, Mini Multi Pliers with Pocket Knife, Screwdriver and Bottle&Can Opener, Pocket Tool, Father's Day Gifts from Daughter（Mini Sailor)

Most important to me was that the pliers can cut monofilament fishing line. The bonus is that this is a high quality tool it's not made for heavy duty mechanicing but it's great for fixing small things and working on fishing reels or pulling hooks out of the fish and of course cutting fishing line. All of the tools are useful and some are very sharp. The only drawback is that the knife does not lock in place so be careful. Overall it's the best small multi-tool that I have found after buying about six different ones.

[DH writes] For the price, a great bargain. Although it was too heavy for my first intended purpose, a neck lanyard knife to add to an assortment of keys and other small tools, it is still a keeper. I just cannot risk putting my Leatherman squirt PS4 on my lanyard--worth too much to just be casually stolen. I cannot afford the size of the new Victorinox Hiker I bought--which also has a superb selection of tools I want/need. SO...I put my Leatherman Micra on my neck lanyard and called it good.This has a MEANINGFUL SIZED BLADE; it has a POWERFUL Philipps Head; it has a worthwhile CAN OPENER; and a few more "goodies". Fit and finish are excellent. Size is good--just too heavy for my neck with other tools on my leather lanyard/ID-pass holder. This is a keeper.

I have owned a Leatherman Squirt PS4 for years and carried it every day, as well as using it for backpacking. Sadly I must replace it with an alternative since Leatherman has retired this product and my Leatherman cannot be repaired. This multitool is/was clearly best in class in every respect - size, weight, function, quality. Your choices now are limited for a keychain multitool with a knife, pliers and screwdrivers - Leatherman Micra (no pliers), Gerber Dime (so-so design & quality) or this NexTool Mini Sailor. This Nextool Mini Sailor is the best alternative I have found so far and at a decent price. This is roughly the same size as the Leatherman (an 1/8" larger in each direction) and about 50% heavier, but still not too heavy. It is the only multitool that lets you open the knife and other tools without opening the pliers. That makes the tool very simple and convenient to use. This NexTool feels good in your hand, folds up small for your pocket and the quality is acceptable (although not up to Leatherman standards). I would suggest the following changes to make this multitool even better and a 5-star tool: make the flathead screwdriver wider to accommodate more screw sizes (and a combo bottle opener like the Leatherman), replace the combo can & bottle opener (hardly anyone uses a can opener anymore) with a file (like the Leatherman Squirt) or tweezers (like the Leatherman Micra).

I purchased this because I am always in the need of a screwdriver or pliers when I’m out for some odd reason. I wanted something small that I could put in my pocket or in my laptop bag so I would always have at least a flathead, Phillips screwdriver and pliers on me. This tool has that and some, plus it’s very compact and easy to carry around all day. The locking mechanism feel like magnets but probably is not. Whatever is helping the tool stay closed is pretty strong. It will take a decent amount of finger strength to open the tool, not anything crazy but enough to know that it will stay closed until you want to open the tool up. The tool is very small and compact so you have to understand that holding this thing and using it as pliers or as a screwdriver will feel a little awkward because it’s so small, but it works great. There is a part of the tool that you can pull out that is used to attach to a keychain ring. The only worry I have now is that I sometimes think I lost it since it’s small and compact and difficult to find in my laptop bag when it’s full of stuff.

Is small, but sturdy, and very useful. Fits everywhere

As advertised and good quality. A handy, easy-to-carry tool for minor projects.

I doubt I'll ever totally abandon my Victorinox pocket knife multitools, but I read some reviews of the NexTool Mini Sailor and decided to purchase it for times when I need to travel lighter. The Mini Sailor is a well made quality small multitool. The unique scissors work very well as do each of the other tools. The knife blade was very sharp right out of the box, and the drop point shape is very useful. Having all the tools (except the pliers) accessible from the outside of the assembly is a good feature, and when the tool is opened up to get to the pliers, the back sides and edges of the handles are comfortable even when applying a lot of pressure. All in all, while a bit large for true keychain use, it is certainly small enough to ride in a pocket, which is ideal for "traveling light" but still being prepared for most any situation,

I was so disappointed when Leatherman discontinued the Squirt, which for many years had been my choice as a "always-in-my-pocket multi-tool". I decided to put in the effort to trial the best replacement candidates, send them back if they were not as good, until I found a replacement. I carefully tested a half dozen from different sources, including Amazon. This multi-tool is my clear winner for function and quality and pocket-fit, and is better than what I used to use. The knife blade is even hollow ground on both sides! I always have one in my pocket.
