Bear & Son Cutlery 153 Mini Bear Jaws Multi-Tool Knife, 2 1/2"

I guess you could call me a multi tool collector. I have several Gerber and really love Leatherman products. When I came across this brand and saw how well received it is I had to give one of their tools a go. I am impressed. The build is great and the tool is very stiff coming out of the box. I appreciate that though as I will get to break it in myself. It has just the right tools and is the right size for easy pocket carry. Comparable to the Leatherman Micra in terms of size but the tool selection would make the difference depending on what you need. It's so small that the pliers won't get much grip but for small tasks it will more than suffice. Only question is...do I buy one of the bigger tools they offer? The struggle of a collector, lol

good minimalist multi tool made in USA...

Best bike bag tool!

I got a deal on this multi-tool not expecting high quality or workmanship only because I've never bought any bear products previously due to limited mainstream availability. I was wrong.The quality is excellent better than most of the mainstream stuff; good thickness on the blades, excellent steel, great feel, solid construction, good snap, etc.The only problem is that the overall size is very small and fairly thin. Could stand to gain a 1/4"-1/2" in thickness and length to make the pliers a little easier to use. The blade length is not a problem, however. It's about the size of a gerber clutch (I bought one recently), but the pliers are a bit smaller.Good well made stuff.

It's a well made, handy little tool to keep in a desk drawer or on a keychain. Even has a convenient bottle opener.
