Reviews
"The "inside" handle can move a bit toward your palm, allowing the handles to separate ever so slightly, and allowing the plier to extend with a satisfying click."
"Great for fishing and tasks where I don't want to pull out my tool box from the garage."
"In MultiTools I buy GERBER."
"My old one it was easy to open with one hand."
"My only real problem with the multitool is the locking mechanisms for the tools , for me it required 2 hands to unlock the tools and that kind of defeats it's purpose as an edc tool."
"What helped me make my ultimate decision was the one-handed operation of the pliers, a feature that has helped me more than a handful of times in the months since I got this. When new, the pliers are tight, as you'd expect, and the single-handed operation was not a guarantee- sometimes, they'd slide right out and snick into place, other times, I'd get a half-deployed pair of pliers which meant I had to use two hands to fully extend them. The design of the handles and pliers is such that as the pliers extend, they spread the handles apart slightly. So no amount of force will get this to work- they'll either not extend or you'll have flick with so much force that the tool will likely slide out of your grip. If you hold one leg of the tool and flick your wrist, you can usually get them to extend, but the problem is that the pliers and handles can spread open, and you usually have to re-adjust your grip before you can use them. If you flick your wrist in an arc, the pliers sometimes want to fly out of your grasp. The way to get them to open consistently is to spread the handles apart as far as they'll go, by holding the handles on the top and bottom (as opposed to the sides of the handles, which is what you'd grab to use the pliers). The key is just to spread the handles apart before flicking."
"So far I like the Diesel, though compared to my previous multitool, it has a few minor issues: *Pliers aren't spring-loaded. Not so with the Diesel."
