After seeing a bunch of people online raving about the Workpro Multitool, I had to see it for myself. At under $20, delivered via Amazon Prime, it was a low-cost investment.
Man, am I super-impressed with this tool! I’ve had a Leatherman Wave since they were first introduced and love it (and I carried the original Leatherman for a decade before that). But, after spending arguably a short amount of time with the Workpro, I think Leatherman should be nervous.
This 18-in-1 multitool feels surprisingly high-quality and substantial in the hand. It is handsomely designed and has a really impressive toolset. The pliers are spring-loaded (yay!) and are designed to not pinch your hand like a Leatherman can. The wood saw has nicely aggressive teeth and the knife is surprisingly sharp. It has two sizes of Philips drivers, mini scissors, decent metal/wood file, strap cutter, wire cutter, wire stripper, among other tools. Several reviewers have commented on how good the scissors are — better than a Wave, even.
At this price point, this is a tool you can get multiples of to keep in the car, tool/tackle box, laptop bag, etc. I might also be buying these as a fun gift for maker family and friends.
