Review Request: Crescent Toolzall

[cardimon]

Does anyone actually have one of these multipurpose tools and enjoy using it? These seem geared more toward hobbies and occupations than survival and preparedness. Here's one URL at which I found them: http://www.ironbottom.com/tools_hand/multi_purpose_tools/toolzall.htm

I picked up the TZ6V Toolzall electrician model at Lowes because I do some electrical stuff at work and to add it to my collection,of course.In comparision to Leathermans,Gerbers,and SOGs, the manufacturing is rough.The pivot points have an adjustable allen screw which I managed to strip the first time I adjusted it.The implements are standard and have a locking system similar to the PST II.The wire stripping head is the best feature on this tool and IMO makes it worth what you pay for it.This is nothing to get too excited about but I wouldn't call it junk either.Thanks for the URL, I wasn't familiar with some of the rest of their line.

Interesting...I have been to several tool places and have only ever come across the electricians model.I also receive several tool catalogs and the other crescents aren't listed there either.From the picture and description on the URL, I'd say that the tool shown is of a higher quality than the electrician model.Too bad I don't see the others in the stores!

Heck with brick-and-mortar stores. Buy off the Web if you're interested. Here's another URL for you:
