Winchester 22-01347 Small Wood Handle Tool Review
I bought this item to put in my tacklebox. Though compact and small, I found it to be quite useful for the purposes I got it. For one thing I don't want to carry a lot of stuff because I usually hike in to my spots. I carry only the necessities in a small plastic case. This multi tool is just right for this. It can unjam fishing line, it can cut line, it can hold a hook for sharpening or for tying a fly, and it can help loosen the hook from the fishes mouth. The Phillips screwdriver is just the right size for quick adjustments to my reels. The knife (with a little honing) is very sharp and holds it's edge. I don't use the other tools much, but I don't see why they could not be used. Yes, this multi tool is very small, but that is precisely it's value to me. I wouldn't buy a sledge to put a nail in the wall, so why buy a big Leatherman when you have small size jobs?

Winchester 22-01347 Small Wood Handle Tool Specifications
Packed with ten handy implements, the Winchester multi-tool from Gerber slices oranges, drives screws, cuts wires, clamps down on work pieces, and opens refreshments on the fly. The Winchester is constructed of surgical stainless steel for optimal durability and corrosion resistance. Handsomely-stained, wood handles smack of heirloom quality and are ergonomically designed to ensure comfort and control. Implements snap crisply into place for steadfast performance and safety.
Now for the guts: The tool’s stainless steel needle nose pliers are precisely forged with jaws perfectly aligned, so their full surface areas make contact with work pieces offering optimal gripping power. The pliers have integrated wire cutters for flush cuts through a wide variety of gauges. A fine-edge blade with a pinpoint tip, uncommon in most multi-tools, ensures long-lasting sharpness and is great for detailed cutting applications. Where most multi-tool drivers tend to loosen up over time, the Winchester’s cross-head screwdriver stands up to plenty of torque for driving larger screws. A medium-size, flathead screwdriver with bottle opener easily cracks open refreshments on the go. As though these fine implements weren’t enough, the Winchester also includes: a serrated knife, a large flat head screwdriver, a can opener, a small flat head screwdriver, and an awl with a file—an impressive array that’d normally require packing along a second multi-tool, but one that’s organized and easily accessible with this single, lightweight unit. --Brian D.
