I got my first multi tool yesterday and have already gotten a chance to use it to set up my grandparents new t.v haha. I got it at walmart, i didnt have alot of money so i got the cheapest one i could find it was 10 bucks but I like it.

I like it, its comfortable to hold, but next one I get its going to be like my grandfathers which is a leatherman super tool.

Tell me what you think of it.
 
I got one of these to hold me over after I lost my first leatherman and it worked just fine. After I got a new one I gave the winchester to my nephew who has since abused the heck out of it, and it is still holding together.
 
Well I am saving up for a .22 revolver so I can't spend alot of money on multi-tools or knives. So I bought a fairly cheap one. I do eventually want to get a leatherman supertool, probably somtime next year after I get my revolver.
 
for the price, for all it has, it's not bad, way better than nothing!

but when you handle a good MT, no sharp edges, smooth opening
tools, way better finish and steel, life-time warranties when
something goes wrong, you understand the difference

the new LM Supertool300 is coming out soon and does look sweet!
but don't forget about Swisstools, and Sog, just as good, Pros and
Cons for them all, it depends on your needs and likes ;)
 
The first multi-tool I bought was a Winchester as well. Better than I thought it would be. The knife blade was dull (which I didn't need anyway) but the best thing about them was that the pliers had a spring!

I don't think this one has a spring?
 
Hi,

I've had a few of the Sheffield ones. I think the Sheffield and the Winchester come from the same factory. I do like the way the pliers open up with tools on the inside. I think it makes them a bit more comfortable to use. The pliers are amazingly robust and durable. And I like the spring opening jaws also. I wish that the better makers would include that feature. The tools can be somewhat variable in quality though.

Enjoy it. It should serve you pretty well.
