Title: Overpriced for what you get.
Review: This item is frequently advertised as an 18-in-1 tool. However, I would really classify it as about 8-in-1. They (Paladin) mislead you by listing each wire size it can strip as a different tool even though they are the same tool bit. Essentially you have PLIERS, WIRE CUTTERS, KNIFE, PHILLIPS, SLOTTED, PUNCH DOWN, WIRE STRIPPER, and FILE. It is decent quality, but I don't really see the point in Paladin contracting with SOG for the pliers that have 'double the gripping power' if the open edge of the handles kill your hand when squeezing them. I'm not soft-handed, but trying crimp with the pliers can get quite painful.The punch down tool is handy to have, but if I could go back and change my mind, I would rather carry a different tool that offers more than this one whether it be a true SOG, Leatherman, or Swiss.
