Sports reviews of Eddie Bauer® Outdoor Multi-ToolCustomer Review: Almost perfect but has build quality issues Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
I've been wanting a pocket knife that had a compass, flash light, phillips screwdriver for quite a while and gave up on the idea that one existed until I came across this guy at Target. It's strength is its versatility, it has a socket set for goodness sakes!
The good:
Very Versatile! Compass, flashlight, socket set with 6 different heads, pliers, eye glasses phillips screw driver, scissors, 2 blades, etc!
The bad:
No tweezers or mini saw! Would prefer a white light flashlight, but the red will do. Metal quality is not as good as Victorinox Swiss Army, but sufficient. Bulky for putting on your keyring. After 1 week of ownership, the top panel that has the compass and the flashlight popped off. It was glued. Exchanged it for another one and upon stress testing it, I was able to pull off that same part easily. Shame on Eddie Bauer for this!
Despite the poor bonding of the compass/light unit, I decided to keep the knife and bond it myself with industrial adhesive as it's versatility is unmatched for day to day applications but when I'm in the field, I will grab my Victorinox as well.
