BIBURY Multitool Pliers BI2045, Stainless Steel Multi Tool Pliers with Replaceable Wire Cutters and Saw, Foldable Multitools with Scissors and Screwdriver, Ideal for Camping, Hiking, Survival, Repair

I have a few multitools, Leatherman Surge and Wave included. I bought this and was very pleasantly surprised. The quality on these knockoff multitools had improved a lot and this one is very good indeed. The tool is bigger than the Wave about the size of the Surge. Materials and fit and finish are excellent, the tool is tight. Everything locks into position with zero play. The blades, file and scissors are all well made and finished. There is a carbide insert (spares are provided) for the pliers to cut hard wire.What I especially like is the screwdriver bit implementation. Unlike the Leatherman that uses those kluged shaved down screwdriver bits, it uses standard 1/4 inch double sided bits. 8 are provided and you can even put a standard 1/4 inch hex bit adapter in it and use the thousands of bits out there.I also like the ability to replace the double sided file with standard T scroll saw bits (my Gerber does this as well).For $40 this thing is well worth it.

This tool is similar in size and weight to a Leatherman Surge. It weighs 317g / 11.2 oz, so it needs to be carried in a case. The tool itself has better features that the LM Surge. It's driver locks and uses standard 1/4 hexbits available literally everywhere, where the Surge at about 3X the price uses special LM bits that are soft, expensive, and hard to find (like only by internet!). Additionally the tool carries a T shank sawblade holder and includes 3 blades. You could carry drywall , wood or metal blades that are also easily found at bigbox stores. There is a good quality file with diamond on one side that fits the blade holder. Fit and finish are excellent, tools open easily, outside tools can be one hand accessed, sharp edges are beaded to soft edges. Overall it has a better feature set and a better price than a LM. Watch YT reviews. Includes a selection of double sided torx, screwdriver and hex bits. Wirecutter blades are replaceable and a set are included. The case, to me, is undersized. The bits are retained with elastic and there isn't room inside to carry a driver extension. Pair this with a decent case if it's for daily work. Mine's a backup tool so it's fine.

Bulky, heavy, but solid. Bought to live in my car. Cheap enough I won't be too annoyed if it gets stolen from my (usually unlocked) vehicle. My EDC is a Leatherman Arc--I also have a 25 year-old Gerber Paraframe Multi-tool kicking around. Compared to those tools, this one is not as refined--the pliers hinge feels a bit rough and it's not easy to use 1-handed. Handle is nicely rounded so it won't dig into your hand. Tool came with a hefty oil coating on everything, and it's a bit stiff to open all the tools.I like that you can use standard screwdriver bits, but I anticipate the design making it hard to get into small spaces--I may get an arbor/extender to get the driver bit farther away from the handle.

You get what you see in this item. Packaging is also nice, so it’ll look well presented as a gift. I like the thoughtful inclusion of usable tools and that they are all plenty sharp out of the box. Easy to use and easy to switch between tools. I’ll be keeping this one in my car.

I love this multi-tool. I carry it with me all the time. Very very functional and handy. Well built. I am very satisfied with its functionality how sturdy it is and it's purchase price. I would recommend it to a friend.

I like this tool better than the FAR more expensive ones made by 'you know who' ;). In fact, I like mine so much, I've bought several for my relatives:). Extremely well made, the wire cutters CUT! The blades and scissors cut, the files file, etc. the thing just works and is just well made, from metallurgy to design. Highest Rating.

I decided to order a multitool and after over two hours of research I'd narrowed down my options to 4:+Bibury 32-in-1 model BLT-PRO, ASIN: B0C2Y688Q8, $35.99 (This product, very similar to the Leatherman Surge)[Edit: the model ‎‎BI2045 SERIES S, ASIN: B0CR5M5JBY, appears to be this exact same item for only$30.99 and it's not clear to me why there are two listings]+Multper model MP2049, ASIN: B0DFPVMPC3, $53.99 (A similar product with a better(?) knife steel, strap hook, 1.5 mm combo screwdriver, and included scalpel accessories)+SQT model 2048, ASIN: B0CSD2SF4R, $29.99 (A model about 0.5 inches shorter in the longest dimension with a fixed saw, smaller file, 1.5 mm combo screwdriver, no spare bits, and a pocket clip. Similar to the Leatherman Wave)+Bibury 19-in-1 model BL2038A, ASIN: B0C2Y688Q8, $23.99 (A model about 0.5 inches shorter with a fixed saw, smaller scissors, and fewer spare bitsI ended up picking this product because I wanted the larger scissors (for cutting zip ties) and the bit set. I would've liked the 1.5 mm combo screwdriver but not enough to splurge on the Multper (The knife steel didn't matter as much to me because my workplace doesn't allow knives so I'm taking both knives out.)My frame of reference for multitools is my Leatherman (LM) Crunch, which I've had since 2012. Here's how they compare: The Crunch weighs 192 grams and the Bibury (tool + 1 bit) weights 322 grams. I feel like the Crunch is better suited to be worn on the hip, though maybe I'd get used to the added weight. Cutting 10 gauge/2.65 mm copper wire is about as hard as I'd want to push these cutters out of fear of hurting my hand but they cut quite well. I tried these on 2.65 mm steel baling wire as well and they cut it, but not easily. My much smaller LM Crunch cut both these wires much more easily thanks to the vice-grip-like locking pliers mechanism. The steel quality between the 2012 LM and this product seem equal to me.Pros:+The pliers come together right at the tip, making them perfect for very fine work like pulling small metal shavings out of one's skin+Great versatility, the good scissors and variety of bits is a huge advantage+Good modifiability, the knives can be removed and replaced with a 2.3 mm thick spacer for working on knife-free sites+Fair knife sharpness, out of the box it can slice printer paper if held right+Great robustness, all the critical parts feel strong and not at risk of failure when used heavily+Excellent price for value, I paid $35.99 in Nov 2024. Even if the LM Surge price dropped to around $85 I feel like the Bibury would still narrowly be a better bargain.Cons:-The cost of the tool's versatility is that it's heavier and bulkier than most (I see now why the LM Wave is a better seller than the LM Surge)-There's no magnet to hold standard bits in the bit holder-The file and straight blade are very stiff and hard to open and stow out of the box. Doing it one-handed is difficult and/or dangerous-The scissors and serrated blade are not held tightly in the stowed position and flop open too easily (the detent meant to hold the scissors in the stowed position will not engage.)-There are some rough edges where the metal was stamped, you'll want a dremel to round things over (particularly the cutouts in the stamped "scales" and the corners near the pliers.)-Bits are hard to remove from the hard plastic bit organizer-The sheath isn't as stylish as the leather sheath from my LM Crunch, the stitching is not straight and the belt clip isn't centered on the back. Further, the plastic belt clip feels like it's at risk of breaking.Suggestions for Bibury:+Instead of a bulky, hard belt clip that feels like it might break, consider sewing the sheath with a loop for the belt+Make the bit organizer out of silicone instead of hard plastic+Make the pliers spring action+Add a tiny magnet to the inside of the bit holder+Advertise the crimper tool on the hand side of the pliers+Add a tiny bit of metal to make one flathead screwdriver a designated bottle opener (look closely at the smaller flathead on the LM Crunch) It feels much safer than using the sharp can opener to open bottles+Use the scales from the BI2049 instead of these for better grip and minimized sharp edges.+++And finally: Please release a multitool with locking pliers like the LM Crunch and I'll buy one for every member of my family! Locking pliers, AKA vice grips, are the most useful tool a multitool can offer.
