Winchester 22-01347 Small Wood Handle Tool Review

I got this tool for free with another (Gerber) multi-tool. I would not buy this tool for much money.

If you want a folding pair of small needle-nose pliers, this is a pretty good choice. The motion is smooth, the machining is fairly precise, and the spring-loaded action is really handy. The pliers are indeed small; they are suitable for items no more than 1/4 inch (8mm) wide. The handles are an adequate 2.5 inches long, and while they are not quite level with one another, it's no big deal. Pliers feel quite strong, with minimal flexing.

The large straight screwdriver is poorly made, with a rounded-off instead of perfectly straight shape. The can and bottle openers are abnormally shallow. The serrated blade is very thick but not very sharp. The straight blade is tiny and not sharp. The cross-head screwdriver is tiny, like a sub-#1 Philips but more vaguely shaped. The nail file looks and feels like a student project. In short, none of the fold-out tools is of a quality to match the pliers and handles -- they say "made by the lowest bidder in China".

The wood accents on the handles are attractive and feel good, but they do make the handles surpringly thick -- about 18mm at the thickest point.

For the pliers and appearance, I would give 4 stars. For the other built-in tools, I would give 1 star (a failing grade).

I am in the Army and currently serving in Iraq.Being here I have received several different models of multi-tools by manufacturers such as SOG, Leatherman, Kershaw, and Gerber.This particular Gerber is by far my favorite and the only one that I brought from home.It contains the tools that I need most, and is at a size that I find comfortable to wear on my belt and it's being there does not interfere with the fit of my body armor or other equipment.I'm amazed at how often the scissors come in handy too.I thought that a goofy thing to have until I got this tool, and now I cannot imagine not having them handy.The pliers are just the right size for most jobs, and the cutters are just fine for cutting the bands off of equipment when needed.For my money Gerber has a winner here and if I ever lose this one I will replace it with the same model.
