Smith & Wesson mini pliers tool

Hi all,
I mentioned in a Leatherman PS4 post that I had (what I think is) an uncommon mini multi tool. I figured Id post it here for general interests.

It is a Smith & Wesson mini pliers tool. It's frame is nearly identical in style and size to a leatherman micra. it has a pliers, a regular blade, a serrated blade, a nail file, large flat head screw driver w/ bottle opener, phillips screw driver in leatherman style, scissors, small flat head, and a circle thing

.

Here is a picture, sorry for the bad quality I took it with webcam but can repost a better picture if people are interested.

Smith & Western knives tend to come from China

I have never seen a Smith & Wesson multitool, but I assume it's likely the same build quality as the rest of the S&W/Taylor line, which is unimpressive at best.

Remington and Winchester tools are also pretty well the same- absolute bottom quality tools with a fancy name on them to bump up the price and maximize the profits.

Don't you have a theory about this kind of stuff?

Seems like it might be a mash-up of Taiwan and USA parts.

As for other comment, Its quality wasn't good enough to prevent me from buying a PS4, but I just leave it in my fishing kit as extra knife / pliers. On the same note, its quality isn't as poor as some of these "value" tools from walmart.
