NexTool Mini Sailor Lite Keychain Multitool, Bladeless

Recently went on vacay to Barbados, wanted a lil pocket friendly multi-tool. Fit & finish is nice and has a good "heft" (while still being light & small enough to not cause any discomfort). No slop with any of the tools. A very nice feature is when the tiny scissors (good for tag & loose thread removal-nose hairs too!) are folded away there isn't any tension on the spring that makes the scissor jaws spring back open when its deployed/in-use. (Unlike some other BIG multi-tool brands...)So, the scissors should work for a very long time. They're functionally sharp too. The black painted (?) outer handle finish is quite durable I dropped it a couple times on concrete- LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED! Easy to use-its good to have finger nails w/just enough length (1/32") to catch the various tools with. Some may say it's a bit spendy- I think it's perfect. Ive already given some out to some friends before their trips and I'll be sending more out for Christmas!

This is a great, small, tool! I keep it in my pocket, it's good to have handy for those times when just a little something like this will take care of an issue. It works well. It is well made. I like the needle nose pliers. I find I have need of them more often than a version with the scissors, although this has a small scissor included. It has lots of handy functions that you may need from time to time in addition to the pliers. No knife, which means it can go places that a handy tool like this that has a knife can't.

BLUF: A nice resource at a very reasonable price point. However, durability is unknown since I just got this, and my use case is relatively light. Pros: (1) No knife, no awl, no saw means that this can be carried in places where a traditional multi-tool would not be accepted either by formal rule or by custom. (2) The flat head and Phillips are surprisingly sturdy. I used them to adjust an interior door by tweaking the hinges without difficulty - a task that my similarly sized Victorinox Office Manager struggles with. The shape of the flathead also works ok’ish as a two-dimensional Phillips. (3) Scissors can cut through zip ties and (admittedly cheap) string trimmer easily. To be honest, many things that folks use a knife for can also be done with a good pair of scissors. Without freaking out the Karen in the cubicle next to yours in the office (4) Price point means that this can be a “disposable” tool that can be replaced after a couple of years if – for example – the scissors spring breaks. Cons: (1) The Nextool web page says there is a one-year warranty. It would be nice if that was a little longer and/or there was more obvious guidance on how to access that warranty. Though, that would likely increase the price. (2) I’m not sure what I can use the sim card tool for at this time. It has been a while since I’ve gone on international travel, but is changing out sim cards in one’s personal phone still a thing that happens on overseas trips? Some of my electronics have tiny reset buttons that this could be used on, but do I need that tool in my pocket every day? (3) Scissors are extremely impressive, but the shape and size make them a bit uncomfortable to use as the handle digs into the pad of my thumb. (4) There is some play in the handles in general and, noticeably, when using the Phillips. I’ve included some pictures to compare tools/sizes to a Victorinox Super Tinkerer and Office Manager. Recommendation for manufacturer: I think there is a small but very real market for a bladeless multi-tool. I suspect Roxon with their Flex Tool may take the lead in this area (since one can build a bladeless tool on that architecture). But for what it is worth, I would recommend something bigger than this tool, but around 90 mm or so. Include a flat head, Phillips, (or a bit driver), larger scissors, and a bottle opener. I don’t think pliers/wire cutters are needed for this type of tool, but I may be wrong. Consider adding something with a removable blade like a scalpel holder or utility knife or hobby knife. This would be great for nurses, teachers, office workers, or anyone that likes having a functional multi-tool but doesn’t want to make others feel uncomfortable in a non-knife tolerant environment. Conclusion: I like this product and assuming I can get a couple of years of use out of it, would buy it again.

Very nice, and very small, bladeless multitool with a good pair of pliers. Because of the size, very easy to carry around with you everywhere and every day.

This is a good quality product and it does what is says but just know, this is going to get your bag searched every time. Recently took this on a flight to Nevada and both going and coming I was pulled out of the line for a complete bag search. Also visited Hoover Dam and went through their security line, same thing. I was pulled aside and bagged was searched until they found it, inspected it, and determined it was bladeless. It won’t get confiscated, but plan on extra time for them to go through your bag.

I got this because I want a small set of pliers for my EDC pouch. My knife already has a screwdriver on it, so a fully loaded multitool wasn't needed. This tool fit the bill, and it's durable enough to actually use, it won't break unless you really abuse it.

I love it. I'll try to pass TSA. If I pass, I'll keep the 5 starts.

A lot smaller than I had imagined, but this Mini Multitool has come in clutch at times where I didn't have my tool pouch or where I didn't have anything small enough to get into the nooks and crannies while working on my bike. One of my biggest needs from a good multitool is pliers, and these little things haven't failed me yet. I haven't played around much with the wire cutters since scissors are more useful for the nature of my work. With the pliers however I've been able to hold nuts in place for the sake of driving screws into them, and they've given me a good amount of leverage where I've needed it. The scissors have been more useful than I thought, I've heard good things about NexTool's scissors and I can see why. They cut paracord decently enough and will do just fine where you don't have a full-sized set of scissors. I thought the screwdrivers were going to be gimmicky, but the Philips one surprised me and the flat will do its job. I thought that the little SIM extractor was a useless addition where something else could've gone, but even that has proven useful when I needed something that small to remove something with a fine seam. I may bump this review up to 5 later on, I'm gonna see how long this multitool lasts. So far I'm not disappointed :)

Excellent compact multitool by Nextool

I use this daily for my career as a mechanic. I keep it in my pocket at all times cause you never know when you may need a Phillips screw or a flat head or a tiny pair of pliers. Not much bigger than a bic lighter. Update: used for about a year and then finally broke the pliers from using them the wrong way. I missed having them after a month and went and bought another one. Definite keeper for me

I got into airport security check ok, as it doesn’t have ANY BLADE. The going home part was a different story, airport security took it even after I said that it has a SIM card ejector that I use (and the fact that it does not have a blade) …during this back and forth discussion I even helped a lady that left her AirPods that she unknowingly dropped on the floor. I guess I was a REALLY bad dude that I can’t get my “blade less” tool while helping another fellow passenger in a security line. Very good product though!

Decent, pliers could be made better but for it's size I'm impressed

A really handy multi tool that I brought with me on a trip abroad. Since it doesn't have a knife, you can safely bring it with you on a plane. The scissors and the screw drivers were very handy for fixing minor things during my trip. I did end up pinching my skin when closing the tool fully, so be careful with your fingers.
