Hi, recently i found out some interesting multitool which I wanna to purchase
[https://wiki.multitool.org/tiki-index.php?page=MultiMaster](https://wiki.multitool.org/tiki-index.php?page=MultiMaster)
The original design from 1980.
I liked the version from klein tools (TripSaver), because they have nice wire strippers. Yeah, this tool looks like a dinosaur but for me, it seems quite tough and reliable because of it’s simplicity.
​
Does anyone own this? How good is it?

Yes. I have three versions of the Utica Kutmaster Multimaster on which it is based–standard/needlenose, Caterpillar-branded blunt-nose, and a special variant intended to be sold to Malaysian Police, but was canceled last minute and sold off as a factory second–which has a tanto blade and strap cutter not used on any other model. Got them as a lot because they were “overruns/seconds” but I never really found much wrong with them.
The only complaint I’ll have about mine is that the cutters aren’t really good at steel wire. One of mine dinged on rebar binding wire. But, it’s heavy, tough, and unkillable. Plus, they had a center-axis bit driver LONG before Gerber.
