Bear Jaws Multi Tool (155 Model)

[jtb49er2000]

Good afternoon. I recently purchased a Bear Jaws multi tool (13 function version, model 155) at what I think was a good deal. I've been toting some sort of multi tool for years now, but have never messed with a Bear brand before. It feels good in the hand and appears to be a good quality tool. I'll of course put it through my own tests at work and home and such, but in the meantime I'm curious if anybody has any experience with this or a similiar model from Bear? I'd love to hear any input on how well Bear holds up and performs. Thanks everybody!

In my experience, Bear made good quality lockbacks and multi-tools, but their slipjoints haven't been as good. The company was associated with the Swiss Army Knife brand but is now run by one of the original owners (re-named Bear and Son).

I have an old Sears Craftsman model 45201 which is made by Bear, I like it quite a bit.
