Not what I expected

I've had the Zilla-Tool for about 4 months now and I can honestly say that this is more knife than it is useful multi-tool. The heft and balance is great; it feels good in the hand. The blade is solid and holds a it's edge very well; I used it to cut carpet at work and it's sharpness outlasted the razor blade carpet cutters (I can't say the same for my Leatherman's blade ). The 1/4 " screwdriver bits and integral holder are pretty useful and work fairly well in most situations and if you lose the bits it came with , you can replace them easily. My only problem with this multi-tool is the pliers/wire cutters. The jaws of the plier are too small for most work not well made enough for any precision work. The wire cutters are virtually useless; I've tried using them on many different guages of wire and different materials and it can't cut any of them. The plier design itself is great ; being part of the handle makes it feel like it should work better than it does. After using this tool at work (electrician) and at play in the outdoors (hiking,fishing,camping) , I found this device to be more effective as a kubotan type self defense weapon and knife than a good "do it all" single-carry multi-tool. This is a good knife with a convenient screwdriver built in but that's about all.
