Xiaomi multitools: Xiaomi Nextool 16 in 1 [Xiaomi 13 in 1 see post #135 <$10, pics added]

No sorry none of them lock, the only thing that locks in place is the saw which uses a frame lock.

Thanks a lot for confirming that.

* never mind *

What do you mean? It looks to me like the pliers are in the middle of the “main” body of the tool. The scissors deploy from inside one of the handles of the “main” body, with an extra leg, which also has markings of a ruler.

Sorry, please ignore that posting I made. I’ve had a few really rotten days that messed up my concentration. Clearly the pliers are in the center and the scissors are from inside one handle. I need to take a break…

No worries, sorry you’re going through a rough patch. Feel free to take your break right here on BLF. :wink:

Has anyone received theirs from the freeme deal? I ordered two because they have good reviews and are at a great price. They are going to my wife’s and my emergency backpacks. I currently use for my EDC a leatherman wave.

No.

But got a email from Banggood saying refunded and customs had confiscated it.

Wow that sucks!! :frowning:

Mine shipped on 6/20. It’ll probably be at least another 2 weeks before I see it.

Here is mine next to my veteran SwissTool:

So, what do you think?

Does it come with a case/pouch?

Any hot spots, unchamfered edges?

It’s a new arrival so I haven’t tested it too much. The overall fit & finish is very nice. The full sized scissors are fabulous. I think that’s a the main selling point of this multi-tool.
The pocket clip and the replaceable cutting edge of the pliers are also a novelty for me after the SwissTool.

To be honest I find the lack lack of symmetry on the handles quite disturbing :slight_smile:

Hmm… now that you mentioned it, I think this is going to bug me as well. Damn you! :slight_smile:

It comes with a velvet storage pouch. I guess they intended it for pocket carry by the pocket clip.
The first 3rd of the handle of the scissors is not rounded so that might be uncomfortable for extended use. The rest of the multi-tool is nicely chamfered.

What has been seen cannot be unseen :slight_smile:

Mine was shipped via fedex from New Jersey. They supposedly have a US warehouse option but I chose and paid for china free shipping with the coupon. I guess they sent from the US by mistake?

The joys of the UK, batteries, power banks knives. Even though this one is non locking.
