My job involves a lot of low voltage work so I got this to replace my Leatherman and stripping tool. I just received it and it's not as nice as it looks. When you have the tool in the plier position the jaws barely open wide enough to get a wire into the strippers and at the wire cutting portion there is no separation. One of the handles 'breaks away' when trying to open the jaws. I tried to tighten the screws that place the tension between the handle and the jaws but it didn't help. The levers to unlock the tools in the handles also stick out when the tool is folded up -- making it a pain to put in your pocket. The included belt case is a little on the cheap side. Great tool that is needed but the engineering on this one needs some work compared to a Leatherman or Gerber.

For $59.95 this tool is not worth the price. The jaws tend to cross over and jam when stripping wires,the spacers in the handle used to separate the accessories wear uneven causing the tool to become flimsy. Using an uninsulated tool like this is dangerous for electrical work.

Thank you for your input, Sunnah. The Electrician’s Multi-Tool is made by a very fine US firm, and we have sold many to generally good response. However, your comments are quite reasonable and we have forwarded them to Bear & Sons for review. As far as the cross over jaws, you may have received a damaged tool. We will, of course be happy to offer you a replacement, or you may use the merchandise return label to return the tool for a full refund. Best regards, GW

| I bought this tool for my son's electrical toolkit. He frequently is working "aloft"on installations and I thought that this would be very handy to have in his pocket, just in case. I couldn't decide which might be better, the multi-tool or the electrician's knife, so I bought both. Now his back-up has a back-up. They both are excellent tools and will be used everyday. |

| The first one I bought worked well but the jaws sprung a bit over a few months and would not grip or strip wire as well. Called customer service and was instantly sent a new one. On opening it up the jaws did not work at all. Will now be sending this back for a third one. Not as well made as it looked. |
