So far, it's been well-designed and sturdy. It's a bit on the spendy side, but hey...so was my Charge Ti.

Although it does appear to have the swiss army knife standard wire stripper notch at the end of the blade. If you want a great multi-tool with heavy scissors or very light tin snips on the end get the toolz-all maintenance pro made by Crescent which is ultimately owned by Cooper tools. They also make an electrician pro model with proper wire strippers if that is what you need. I have both along with an old leatherman. The toolzall stuff is hard to find but at least as nice quality wise (in my opinion) as the more common types.
