Why cheap multitools are a scam - and which ones I actually trust


Looking for a premium multitool that won't scam you? I've got two recommendations.

Many of my readers are like me, often finding themselves doing random and unplanned DIY tasks throughout the day, so having a portable toolkit that can handle the basics is essential. I use them not only to cut wire but also to chomp through small bolts, nibble through metal, and gnaw through screws. The cutters are easy to replace, allowing you to get your tool back to an as-new state in no time.
