  Verified purchase

  I own a Leatherman Surge & Skeletool as well as a BlackKnight Nextool.

  The Gunnar is simply perfect in quality and for everyday use. Beautiful, sturdy, durable, practical, and almost identical to the Leatherman Surge.

  It is truly worth the purchase without a second thought, especially at the 28 euros I bought it for.

  Purchased for 30€ including shipping as an economical general-purpose multitool that offers many functions at this price but does not lack in quality. It comes with a fabric case in a well-crafted cardboard box.
  Tac Maven is a brand of the famous Greek Pentagon for security personnel, which is making a strong start in multitools, beyond its clothing and military bags. Tac Maven's quality is excellent. Whoever holds it in their hands will think it costs over 80€, really a good purchase better than Leatherman, since Leatherman, for a little more quality and durability, costs 5 to 6 times more than this and there is also the risk of losing / stealing it, making it very expensive for the functions they provide. Of course, Victorinox is a category of its own in terms of quality and high disappointing cost, as everything they produce is truly timeless.
  Let's move on to Tac Maven Gunnar (a new brand in multitools) which, for me, is a must-have value-for-money multitool (perfect for IT technicians, camping, military, outdoor excursions, hobbyists, and professionals), with quality metals 440 and 420 or the simple version which is only stainless steel, consider the 420HC (high carbon content, sharper) which is found in expensive brand-name multitools.
  - The knife comes satisfactorily sharpened (passes the A4 paper test) and from what I see, it will also be easy to sharpen in the future, just like the very good scissors, it cuts several sheets at once.
  - The pliers are very good, strong enough from the first use (I would like the tips to be a little thicker, but even as they are, I have no problem), a big positive is the cutters it has (which can be replaced if they break), and they easily cut wires, cables, etc. (Caution: if they are steel wires or staples, they may wear out prematurely and lose their edge.)
  - The file has a numbered blade on the back, a satisfactory awl with a hole on top so you can sew something quickly.
  - The screwdrivers at this price are satisfactory, I don't know if they will withstand heavy use.
  - The saw cuts wood of various sizes.
  A big positive is that all the tools lock, making it more user-friendly and safer.

  As for durability, time will tell how it goes.

  A very good & economical solution at the same time! Tested for 3 months, I can say that it is worth every euro. I have also made a small presentation on my channel if you want to see: https://youtu.be/cSt3tu6je9M?si=i8Bt3h5DJ10iCnSq

  Kids, very powerful tool! Made from quite good metals for its price. Everything works perfectly, especially the scissors and the knife, they come sharper compared to leatherman! The knife and the scissors are made of stainless steel 440A. The rest is made of stainless steel 420. It comes with a belt pouch, oiled and ready to use!
  Also, you can buy an adapter for the screwdriver to use any bit you want!
  ***The regular maintenance of such tools is cleaning after each use, loosening and oiling quite often, like I do with the leatherman surge, but this specific one is so cheap that I don't go through such procedures! Sharpening the knife is as easy as with 420hc knives, so you won't encounter any problem...

  As a start, I am quite satisfied since I use it wherever needed without any problems. Compared to a leatherman, it has nothing to envy, maybe the price difference will show in more difficult conditions. Anyway, it is very beautiful, practical, and heavy in the hand, 265 gr.
