NEXTOOLMini Multitool - 9 in 1 Keychain Multitool with Needle Nose Pliers, Scissors, SIM Extractor and Screwdrivers for Travel, EDC, TSA Approved

I was able to take this on multiple flights and secure events without issue. The build quality is great, and the tools work well. You don't realize how much you need these tools until you're traveling with limited access to things.I'm not using this as my every day carry when home, but it's the perfect EDC when traveling!Pros:• Build Quality• Tools Accessible without Opening• Great Scissors for Size• ClickyCons:• None

I saw this advertised (not by the seller) as TSA-safe (due to size and lack of a blade). The construction seems fine, although the tools can be difficult to extract (but how often does one use it?). So far, I've been through a number of domestic and international legs without it triggering even a bag inspection. I can't guarantee that some zealous agent (esp. internationally) might not stop it, but so far, so good.

BLUF: A nice resource at a very reasonable price point. However, durability is unknown since I just got this, and my use case is relatively light.Pros:(1) No knife, no awl, no saw means that this can be carried in places where a traditional multi-tool would not be accepted either by formal rule or by custom.(2) The flat head and Phillips are surprisingly sturdy. I used them to adjust an interior door by tweaking the hinges without difficulty - a task that my similarly sized Victorinox Office Manager struggles with. The shape of the flathead also works ok’ish as a two-dimensional Phillips.(3) Scissors can cut through zip ties and (admittedly cheap) string trimmer easily. To be honest, many things that folks use a knife for can also be done with a good pair of scissors. Without freaking out the Karen in the cubicle next to yours in the office(4) Price point means that this can be a “disposable” tool that can be replaced after a couple of years if – for example – the scissors spring breaks.Cons:(1) The Nextool web page says there is a one-year warranty. It would be nice if that was a little longer and/or there was more obvious guidance on how to access that warranty. Though, that would likely increase the price.(2) I’m not sure what I can use the sim card tool for at this time. It has been a while since I’ve gone on international travel, but is changing out sim cards in one’s personal phone still a thing that happens on overseas trips? Some of my electronics have tiny reset buttons that this could be used on, but do I need that tool in my pocket every day?(3) Scissors are extremely impressive, but the shape and size make them a bit uncomfortable to use as the handle digs into the pad of my thumb.(4) There is some play in the handles in general and, noticeably, when using the Phillips.I’ve included some pictures to compare tools/sizes to a Victorinox Super Tinkerer and Office Manager.Recommendation for manufacturer:I think there is a small but very real market for a bladeless multi-tool. I suspect Roxon with their Flex Tool may take the lead in this area (since one can build a bladeless tool on that architecture). But for what it is worth, I would recommend something bigger than this tool, but around 90 mm or so. Include a flat head, Phillips, (or a bit driver), larger scissors, and a bottle opener. I don’t think pliers/wire cutters are needed for this type of tool, but I may be wrong. Consider adding something with a removable blade like a scalpel holder or utility knife or hobby knife. This would be great for nurses, teachers, office workers, or anyone that likes having a functional multi-tool but doesn’t want to make others feel uncomfortable in a non-knife tolerant environment.Conclusion: I like this product and assuming I can get a couple of years of use out of it, would buy it again.

Well built and scissors come sharp. I attached a pocket clip keychain to suspend it in my jeans pocket and I would forget its even there. Fits well in the 5th pocket as well. I took it on a trip from SFO to DUB and back. Got through SFO TSA no problems, but going through DUB security on the way back from my trip it got taken by the agent. He said "No tools," which seems conveniently vague. But it is only a 20 something dollar tool, and I got good use out of it on my week long trip. I would buy again for my next trip.

I'm going to give this five stars for now because it is practical and useful for what it is. I have to take a flight in a few weeks and I will see if it gets through security. If not I will come back and update the review.

This item appealed to me mainly because of its size and the fact that it is TSA compliant. I had not seen a similar tool advertised this way. It will easily fit in the watch pocket of a pair of jeans. It appears to be a quality item, not cheaply made. It snaps together securely, yet it easy to open and access the tools. The tool, although small, is easy to use, and fits comfortably in your hand. Although I will not need all of the 9 featured tools (e.g. the SIM extraction tool), it contains the essentials one would need for average jobs around the house or office (e.g. pliers, screwdrivers). I will make sure this goes with me the next time I fly.

Multi-Tool is excellent and based upon my understanding it is TSA approved!

Well constructed. One point off for being a multi-tool without a knife blade, which I admit is kind of on me for missing. Consider this an affable observation to anyone as careless as me in reading the product description.
