Mini Sailor Scissors

This is a great, small, tool! I keep it in my pocket, it's good to have handy for those times when just a little something like this will take care of an issue. It works well. It is well made. I like the needle nose pliers. I find I have need of them more often than a version with the scissors, although this has a small scissor included. It has lots of handy functions that you may need from time to time in addition to the pliers. No knife, which means it can go places that a handy tool like this that has a knife can't.

Recently went on vacay to Barbados, wanted a lil pocket friendly multi-tool. Fit & finish is nice and has a good "heft" (while still being light & small enough to not cause any discomfort). No slop with any of the tools. A very nice feature is when the tiny scissors (good for tag & loose thread removal-nose hairs too!) are folded away there isn't any tension on the spring that makes the scissor jaws spring back open when its deployed/in-use. (Unlike some other BIG multi-tool brands...)So, the scissors should work for a very long time. They're functionally sharp too. The black painted (?) outer handle finish is quite durable I dropped it a couple times on concrete- LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED! Easy to use-its good to have finger nails w/just enough length (1/32") to catch the various tools with. Some may say it's a bit spendy- I think it's perfect. Ive already given some out to some friends before their trips and I'll be sending more out for Christmas!

BLUF: A nice resource at a very reasonable price point. However, durability is unknown since I just got this, and my use case is relatively light. Pros: (1) No knife, no awl, no saw means that this can be carried in places where a traditional multi-tool would not be accepted either by formal rule or by custom. (2) The flat head and Phillips are surprisingly sturdy. I used them to adjust an interior door by tweaking the hinges without difficulty - a task that my similarly sized Victorinox Office Manager struggles with. The shape of the flathead also works ok’ish as a two-dimensional Phillips. (3) Scissors can cut through zip ties and (admittedly cheap) string trimmer easily. To be honest, many things that folks use a knife for can also be done with a good pair of scissors. Without freaking out the Karen in the cubicle next to yours in the office (4) Price point means that this can be a “disposable” tool that can be replaced after a couple of years if – for example – the scissors spring breaks. Cons: (1) The Nextool web page says there is a one-year warranty. It would be nice if that was a little longer and/or there was more obvious guidance on how to access that warranty. Though, that would likely increase the price. (2) I’m not sure what I can use the sim card tool for at this time. It has been a while since I’ve gone on international travel, but is changing out sim cards in one’s personal phone still a thing that happens on overseas trips? Some of my electronics have tiny reset buttons that this could be used on, but do I need that tool in my pocket every day? (3) Scissors are extremely impressive, but the shape and size make them a bit uncomfortable to use as the handle digs into the pad of my thumb. (4) There is some play in the handles in general and, noticeably, when using the Phillips. I’ve included some pictures to compare tools/sizes to a Victorinox Super Tinkerer and Office Manager. Recommendation for manufacturer: I think there is a small but very real market for a bladeless multi-tool. I suspect Roxon with their Flex Tool may take the lead in this area (since one can build a bladeless tool on that architecture). But for what it is worth, I would recommend something bigger than this tool, but around 90 mm or so. Include a flat head, Phillips, (or a bit driver), larger scissors, and a bottle opener. I don’t think pliers/wire cutters are needed for this type of tool, but I may be wrong. Consider adding something with a removable blade like a scalpel holder or utility knife or hobby knife. This would be great for nurses, teachers, office workers, or anyone that likes having a functional multi-tool but doesn’t want to make others feel uncomfortable in a non-knife tolerant environment. Conclusion: I like this product and assuming I can get a couple of years of use out of it, would buy it again.

Very handy and very high-quality, not too heavy on the keychain. But just be prepared when you’re going through TSA they will get through, but your bag will almost always be searched even though there’s no blade. Had them confiscated at an airport in Phnom Penh.

The scissor is small but works well. Not sure what the Phosphorescence was supposed to do as this sites in my pocket so no sunlight to energize the Phosphorescent activity. I carry a pocket knife so did not need one in this device. I did need a small set of tools- This tools does the job really well. I like it. Impressed with the solid construction, it’s well made. So far I would buy it again. I don’t want to be misunderstood, this is a fine tool, if I loose it I will buy another. I found the construction of the scissors especially innovative if not brilliant. My comments were more suggested improvements.

It's alright. The tools are very difficult to open at first and I had to apply some lubricating oil to even be able to get the scissors out without feeling like my fingernail was going to break. The players are very small but feel reasonably robust. The cutters are so small I'm not sure why they even included them. Not sure what I would use those for. The scissors are decent as well (if you can manage to open them) but not close to victorinox scissors. For a bladeless tool this small I think it's probably better to just skip the plyers and go with one of the victorinox offerings.

I wanted tiny long nose pliers for my bike's saddlebag toolkit. Conventional pliers start at 4 oz and 7" in length. Pass. This folds into a tiny rectangle, weighs 2 oz, and when unfolded you have a real pair of pliers (for, say, removing a Presta valve from a spare TPU tube because your bike & on bike pump has/expects Clik valves). This opens/closes easily, the other tools are usable, accessible, not in the way, and TSA approved (no blade). It's a tough, well designed mini multi tool.

Nice product , well made, affordable but No Knife! I didn't look closely enough and made the mistake and assumed it also had a knife! That is an offer site on a tool like this. The images are not misleading, it was my mistake. But I just wanted to spare anyone else from making that mistake.

Love its size and usefulness

Excellent compact multitool by Nextool

I got into airport security check ok, as it doesn’t have ANY BLADE. The going home part was a different story, airport security took it even after I said that it has a SIM card ejector that I use (and the fact that it does not have a blade) …during this back and forth discussion I even helped a lady that left her AirPods that she unknowingly dropped on the floor. I guess I was a REALLY bad dude that I can’t get my “blade less” tool while helping another fellow passenger in a security line. Very good product though!

Decent, pliers could be made better but for it's size I'm impressed

I use this daily for my career as a mechanic. I keep it in my pocket at all times cause you never know when you may need a Phillips screw or a flat head or a tiny pair of pliers. Not much bigger than a bic lighter. Update: used for about a year and then finally broke the pliers from using them the wrong way. I missed having them after a month and went and bought another one. Definite keeper for me
