The thing is built like a brick outhouse. The blade is sharp, the wrench is strong and opens to 1/2 inch. To those who say you can't grip it very well.... try to turn a nut with a Leatherman (I'll be happy to supply you with bandaids after you bust your knuckles bloody). The bit driver is strong enough to bend bits if you want to. The tool comes with 4 bits, a bright white LED, and has a bottle opener when the gate is open. It also has a cool pocket clip on the side like a tactical knife. This stainless steel tool is a great bargain at $30. Pick one up in person and I bet you will like it. Order one and try to break it.

That's not a carabiner, like you'd use when climbing; it's "carabiner-styled." If it were something you could use as climbing gear, it would have its strength in the specs. It doesn't. None of its other features are things someone would be likely to reach for when climbing, either. “aimed at climbers”?

Take the carabiner part away from this tool and it is not much of a multi tool...

I wonder... does it come with specially sized bits or does it accept standard ones? Hmm, the website says that it comes with magnetic bit carrier.

That would be pretty handy. The crescent wrench looks more interesting than the carabiner-like styling to me. That would be pretty handy.
