It's main downside is its size/implements ratio and its plier head, but you can't always win...
I've wanted an X-Tract for a while now, but never bust a gut to get one because I had some doubts about whether it was worth the money. I had an impression that it was plasticky and gimmicky in equal measure.When I had the opportunity to but a used one from Noth at a sensible price, I bought it, but expected not to be overwhelmed by it.It arrived this morning and I've been pleasantly surprised by it. Specifically, it doesn't feel light or cheap as I expected, the pliers are far more useful than I thought they would be, and the blade is unrivalled amongst the other MTs I own - it is massive compared to the compact chassis.I'm also impressed with the screwdrivers - really useful and quite superior to the drivers on many tools I've tried.I'm really pleased with it, and will be incorporating it into my EDC somehow, if only to mess with during long work-related telephone calls!
