![]() ![]() The folding action on this multi tool is a bit stiff. It's not a lot of oil, but enough that you'll probably want to wipe it off before putting the tool in your pocket or tool bag. This oil seems to be a common issue with this model. If you buy this tool new, still in its original packaging, it will probably have some excess oil around the hinge in the pliers. The outside of this multi tool has a shimmery appearance to it, which is probably meant to look neat but comes off looking a little tacky. The tension on these tools is not adjustable. There are four tools on each handle that fold out, but the inner two tools on either side can be difficult to get to without folding out the exterior tools first. The multi tool is metal, but it has soft plastic grips on the handles which are comfortable and easier to hold onto than the bare metal would be. The knife is also good, with both a sharp blade and a sharp point. The pliers are decent, and are spring-loaded unlike those that come with some other multi tools. Anglers may like this tool because it includes a hook remover, a fish scraper, and a small ruler. Other tools fold out from the handles - screwdrivers, a knife, an awl, a can opener, a bottle opener, etc. It folds out into a pair of pliers, with wire cutters at the base of the jaws. This tool is similar to other multi tools in many ways. The Sheffield 15-in-1 multi tool (model 12000) falls into the latter category. Some of these tools are a great value at their price, while others may or may not be worth it, depending on what you are looking for. Sheffield makes several different multi tools, most of which fall on the lower end of the price spectrum. They can range in price from Shop Basics or Olympia multi tools that are often sold for $5 or $10, to Gerber, SOG, or Leatherman multi tools that can cost $100 - or more. There is a huge selection of multi tools on the market today.
