BIBURYMultitool Pliers Pro BI2045, Stainless Steel 31-in-1 Multi Tool Pliers with Replaceable Wire Cutters and Saw,Foldable Multitools with Scissors and Screwdriver, Ideal for Camping,Survival,Repair

I have something of a weakness for buying multi-tools, and most of the ones I get are kind of meh or at best close copies of other multi-tools already on the market. I can honestly say without a sense of exaggeration that this multi-tool is in a class of its own.After a while you get a feeling for the level of skill and dedication that went into designing something. It's obvious when you look this tool over that the designers took great pride in doing the best possible work they could.Each individual tool is among the best I have encountered: large, usable, well executed and thought out, and replaceable in many cases. It's obvious that whoever did each item, the scissors, file, knife, can opener, saw, awl or whatever was not just trying to check a box, but was sincerely trying to come up with something that worked, was sturdy, and safe to use.The overall conception of the tool was also excellent with obvious tool locks, good tool placement, a well-made belt case, and set of quarter inch ancillary tools that increase the value that much more. This tool is far nicer than the usual name brand multi-tools like Leatherman, and to top it off the price is ridiculously low.If you like having a well-designed tool you can be proud of in your possession, by all means order yourselves one of these or give one to a close friend (I bought one for my son).

I'll address the elephant in the room right off the bat. This is obviously a low cost option of a Leatherman Surge. Its approximately the same size and has the identical tool set. That being said, it is a fraction of the price and is a very functional and excellent quality construction for its price point. So if that criteria is goid enough for your purpose... Then this is a no brainer snd buy with confirmation.Despite the fact that this is an excellent bargain option for a higher level tool there is some constuctive criticism I have on how this product could be improved.1. The plain edge knife blade doesn't have a blade stop when in the closed position. This ends up blunting the belly of the knife if the tool gets rattled in the clised position. There should be a muchanism in place to prevent the shapend edge From striking the internal metal components when closed.2. The serrated blade is not sharp enough to cut. I think this is because they grind the serations before the coat the blade in the black coating which appears to be paint. So while the blade might have had a good edge when it was tooled the coating gunks it up. This is an easy fix if you have the proper tools to sharpen serrated blades, but many people do not. So to those people that cant sharpen serrated blades end up with a useless tool.3. The 1/4" driver comes with a bit set that has 4 flat tip screw drivers. This seems redundant to me because the multitool already has flat tip screw drivers in it with needing to use the bit set. Obviously the bit driver is better for screwing tasks, that is a valid argument. However if you are carrying fkat tip bits the perhaps replace the integrated tools with something else more useful. There should be either different intergral tools that are not redundant to the bit set, or the bit set should replace the flat tip bits with something more useful like additional allen or torx wrenchesSome things I prefer on this tool over the Leatherman. I like that the bit driver is a standard bit driver and not some sort of proprietary bits. You can buy additional bits or use those you already have with no issues. I also like the way the file is removed and replaced with standard jigsaw blades which are available at any hardware store. I understand that companies like proprietary accessories,particularly those with extremely long guarantees and warranties. It helps ensure that their tools are being used in the way they were designed with implements that meet specifications. However, with smaller companies that doent have the same market share its difficult to find replacement accessories so having a tool that accepts easy to source parts is definitely a plus. To that argument, it is also appreciated that BiBury included an additional set of wire cutting blades with this tool.To wrap up I think this is a great tool for the glove box or tackle box for emergencies or a backup system. It would also be good for tinkering or weekend hobbyists. However, if you're the type of person that relies on a multitool for hard everyday use, i think this is less polished and easy to use and theres too many rough spots in the ergonomics of it for more than just occasional use. I keep it on bike rides, camping, and I occasionally break it out at work so it is good enough for my purposes, your mileage may vary.

Some of the cutouts in the handles weren't beveled, so they're rough on your hands while others were. Why were some skipped? The pivots were too tight to be able to open some of the tools without the use of another tool or hurting yourself in the process. Primarily the screwdriver bit holder. The serrated knife lockup is way past safe. The only thing keeping the lock bar behind the knife is the pivot screw that sticks out very slightly farther than the blade at the pivot.Then, I adjusted the pivots for the pliers because one side is much harder to open than the other. This made a lot of side to side play in the blades, compounding my concerns about the lockup. I had to tighten the pivots back to a point that wasn't ideal, but brought the knives back to a useable and safe tightness. The pliers themselves have no friction in the pivot, so they easily drop open or closed. I don't like that personally, but some people might. The scissors cut better than the ones on my SOG powerpint though. Have not tested the can opener yet, but the design looks effective. The plain knife blade also arrived with a chip in it and it wasn't very sharp out of the box. It couldn't cut the hair off my arm or cleanly slice paper.I'd return this if I hadn't already tossed out the packaging. It has some very nice tools and features, but it's just feels a bit too half-done and needed my effort to fine tune the pivots and sharpen the blade.UPDATE: I got a replacement and it is notably better than the first one I got. There is no damage to the knife blade from the factory. The pivots aren't as tight and the pliers are slightly stiffer, for a better feel when using. They don't just drop open and shut without input, though it doesn't take much or any effort, if that concerns you. The holes in the scales are still not beveled on the outer row of each handle when in the plier configuration. Not sure why they designed it to be that way. It's not painful or anything. Just feels unfinished. I was able to test the can opener on this tool and it works great! However, the black paint they use does come off easily. One use around about 1/4 of a small can and some of it was worn off. I haven't used the file, but I like that it comes with saw blades that can slot into the file position as needed. The scissors work great. The knife did need some honing on a ceramic rod to get sharp enough to shave hair off my arm. I'm much happier with this tool than the first one I got. For the price, it is hard to beat. Overall build quality is good. One thing I wish they would consider is instead of the double sided philips and slotted bits, they include two sizes of bits with philips on one side and slotted on the other.I'm updating the review from a 1 for the build quality and damage I had on the first one to a 4 for the second one. Not a 5 because of the paint and production consistency.
