Except for the part that my pliers aren't snapped in half, I am in agreement with this multitool. As an electrical person, I find myself using this when the proper tools can't be found (happens too much on our team, I don't know where 3 pairs of wire strippers can go to when only 3 people know how to properly use them), and for any last minute queue repairs.
The problem is that Paladin got bought by someone else (I forget who) and they are no longer manufactured, and you now would have to spend a good amount of money on eBay.
