I recently bought this huge fat SAK on impulse because it was a great deal , about 50% of the list price .
I'm not normally a great SAK or multitool enthusiast , but I do admire the RangerGrip models . I own and use the 78 . The saw is quite useful for small jobs and the handle is nicely ergonomic .
This 71 has a much fatter / thicker handle , to the point of being barely functional for my medium male sized hands .
The 71 is all about the scissors . And they are very cool in in a "gentlemen's knife " sort of way . Mostly a cool toy and fun to play with for me .
But just not that great compared to regular dedicated tools made for pruning . Even some much cheaper multitools have better shears ,IMO , for heavy use .
The 71 is also kinda huge for practical EDC carry .
I'm not saying it's useless , but I don't think that it's niche is as a "Gardener" .
Maybe something you'd carry along for wilderness foraging or whatever ? It also has a nice sized knife and saw blade . And a corkscrew .
I'm still very new to this tool , carrying and playing with this thing and so maybe will find more uses for it , if it's in my pocket ?
Anyone have and use this thing ?
