*Somewhere in South Eastern, U.S.A… a man who calls himself Old Happy Tiger (OHT) holds up his new multi-tool over his head and says to himself.. “Now THAT is worth the price!” 1.jpg (Filesize: 288.43 KB) 2.jpg (Filesize: 293.83 KB) I’m a bit excited to share this one with all of you. This is the WorkPro 15-in-1 Multi Tool.
There is not really any videos out there, except for one guy that has a different looking one (he rated it as pretty good). There was a few reviews I saw on Amazon that said the pliers are not good.. and those review seem very weird to me. I totally disagree 100%... At least with this one that is in front of me.
This was $19.00 USD and like you can see in the second picture above this thing is
THICK and solid! Like don’t drop it on your foot because you’ll feel it! The knife hair shaving sharp.. I took a patch of hair my arm.. No joke. Everything on this one works great. I did test this one a bit more and I did not think you guys wanted to see static pictures of me sawing wood ect.. But I can say this thing is awesome!
To note again, I do not get any money / monetization from Amazon or this company. This company that makes this WorkPro brand is called “GreatStar”. The tools are made in China.. HOWEVER
there is customer support and sales in the U.S.A. Their headquarters are down my way in the South East, U.S.A they are in North Carolina and I was able to call them today and talk to the sales department. They also make tools under the brand names of Mossy Oak, Haushof and flashlights under the Everbrite name. They also have standard tools that they sell as well. I was told that they have contracts making tools for other retail stores like Home Depot.. Very interesting to find all of that out today.
I did the same thing that I always do, soaked the multi-tool in hot water and dawn dish soap to de-grease it, then used Balitsol gun oil on all the pivot points. Pivot points for the tools have all steel washers, The pivot points use a T-9 size Star/Torx bit. They ALSO are also
double coupled so you’ll need
TWO drivers to tighten both sides at the same time. They seems fine however as-is. Pliers are great and the wire cutter work great I chopped some wire with it and no issues.
I’m also honest in what I say, and this was $15.00 USD two years ago.. Every multi-tool that I have seen is up about $5.00 more because of inflation (at least here in the U.S.A.). But this one, I would be happy to have on me 24/7 on site (I work in various security fields 30+ years) OR putting this into an emergency pack / bug-out bag…
I think it is that good, really! Will it hold up for the next 15 to 20 years like a Leatherman or Gerber? I don’t know....| And it’s not going to have any collector value years later on, either. This thing feels over-built… All the tools also lock into place, the two metal tabs are on the top of the handles and the locking mechanism seems very solid to me with no play in any of the tools. Probably again, 420HC steel not sure about pliers.
Pros:Heavy at least 13 ounces, Heavy is great behind unscrewing, sawing ect.. with the tools
Tools work, knife and saw is sharp and all of the tools lock.
Local help desk as U.S.A. branch office is in North Carolina.
Cons:Heavy! So tighten your belt. Also, not for pocket carry.
Packing grease and A LOT of it all over the handles as well. While it did come in a plastic bag to protect the sheath you’ll need to give it a wash.
Dual coupled Star / Torx bolts in pivot points. You need two drivers to tighten.
