Yes, arguably not a perfect multi, but much more good than bad for me

T thnigs i point are bad because i didnt exspect them. the good things are things that are normaly required ... i havent found much that is exciting on this tool, other than the little sliding lock ,, and the general fit of the blades.. as for the black tool.. it is more bad than good in my eyes... the tool combination is.. not useful.. and it is not offered in other combinations.. i make the review to list things that are not good, if i was making one to list good things i must first test it out ....ill have some pictures for the review later...
To me, the most important point was cast pliers head instead of forged.That is a huge difference in strength. I suspect that is part of the problem with Skeletool pliers breaking.Forged > cast.

Hmmm I'm thinking maybe this isn't the tool for you . You really don't sound that happy with it .I disagree with so many of your points that I think you should try a SOG powerlock . I will just say that the wire cutters are very good and heres a couple of videos .
Might I go out on a limb here and say (and hey if I'm wrong I'll swallow crow) but I don't think there are many forged plier heads out there? I mean as soon as you snap the jaws I guess you can tell pretty quick can't you from the look of the inside of the steel? I think there all cast heads? sean
