The no branded one is very bulky but feels solid and the cutter and pliers are pretty good. What I dun like on it is they have individual spring bar for all the tools. It's too complicated to build and prone to damage.. The tool set doesn't look too very functional.. But the philips is very well formed and performed very well.
The guidesman's design, the tools are very functional minus the fish scaler... The pliers is a big fail. The spring pliers stop flex on pressure.. I can squeeze the 2 handles together without using much strength..
If, they have the China pliers on the guidesman, I wouldn't mind paying even $30 on it..
Well, that doesn't mean the sidekick have no flaws...
