I have owned several Leatherman tools for some two decades, both full size and mini. My VEVOR Multitool at ~30 dollars is an amazing value, and in terms of quality is in some ways the equal of the Leatherman equivalent, in some ways better, and my only complaints are that quality of the file is not as good as the Leatherman's. The file is only single sided, and its double-cut teeth are much shallower than the Leatherman's. It does not have a single-cut side, that is taken up by a ruler, whose utility is diminished by the fact that the graduations do not begin at the tip of the ruler, but some fraction of an inch, making it more problematic to take measurements than of they began at the end. I must say that I tested the Vevor file against the Leatherman file, by filing a common steel nail held in a vise, and both worked equally fast . The scissors are excellent, but they are of the bandage design, with one blunt point and one sharp point, not as generally useful as two sharp points, but perhaps more versatile. The very well executed belt clip is far more convenient than a sheath. However, the accompanying nylon (polyester ?) sheath is useful to carry the set of screwdriver bits, which are attached to the knife's Philips head screwdriver by a magnetic adaptor. The bits are metric, and can readily be switched to whatever types that you normally use. The finish and build quality are first rate, and not comparable to the many cheap Leatherman knock-offs that one sees. The pliers are spring loaded, making it very convenient to use. The wire cutters are inserted, held in by Torx screws, and presumably of hardened s teel, but I doubt if any spares are available from Vevor. The locking catches on all blades are well designed and work well. All in all, this tool is a real steal, an excellent buy, and bargain, both in terms of cost and of quality. I could not recommend it more highly. You cannot go wrong to invest your $30 on this tool!

Having two Leatherman "Wave"s, and a "Supertool", I am comparing this unit to those. I broke my waves (foolishly prying) and sent them back for factory repair, and meanwhile I bought the VEVOR as a temporary replacement, expecting a lessor quality tool. Surprising to me, the VEVOR seems similar in quality, and has a spring-loaded plier (self-opening) which I find super helpful. It has many similar features of the main competitors, and some clever additions. The cost is less than half the price of a Leatherman. I am yet to experience how long it can hold a sharp edge and function without trouble but at this writing I must say that this unit is a great value. It is slightly larger than my Wave (see photo). Compactness is important to me, but this isn't too big if I leave the "snap on" parts at home. I'm referring to the included strip of bits that plug into the Phillips driver. Useful for sure, but my belt is crowded enough. It should be noted however that since my purchase of the VEVOR, my Leatherman's have been repaired and returned to me free of charge (except for shipping to warranty center), including new blades that were just dull from long use. That wasn't the first time I cashed in on the excellent warranty of Leatherman. That warranty is indisputably valuable for breakage (not loss), but I must admit that one could afford to buy a spare VEVOR and put it in the drawer in case of loss.
