Gotta love a no questions asked warranty.

I've never been a fan of multi-tools for robotics. The idea seems nice, but all the tools they come with are never really the right tool you need. I see more people fight with them in haste to use one, but I can usually find the right tool for the job quicker than they can get a "yeah...it'll do the job...if you really try" tool out. I'd really only find maybe the knife to be decently useful, but at that point, just get a nice purpose-built pocket knife.
