Adjustable Multi functional Wrench Folding Knife Pliers Screwdriver

The nut you need is never near the toolbox.

You are forty minutes down a station track when the rack starts talking to you. One nut has backed off. The spanner set is in the shed, the pliers are in the other vehicle, and the only thing in your pocket is a knife, which will not turn a nut.

That is the chain this thing sits at the top of. A fastener works loose, you cannot nip it up, so you either turn back or you drive on listening to it — and the part you drive on with is the part that comes off, usually at the worst spot on the track.

So this is a folding multi tool built around an adjustable spanner head instead of the usual stack of screwdrivers. The spanner is the whole point of it: one jaw that covers a range of nuts, rather than a set you have to carry. Everything else — pliers, wire cutter, blade, bit driver — folds into the same 165 mm body.

What It Does

• Adjustable spanner: the head opens and closes on a screw-thread worm adjuster, so one jaw covers a spread of nut sizes instead of one.
• Needle-nose pliers: fold out of the handle for grabbing, twisting and holding small parts and fasteners.
• Wire cutter: a cutting notch built into the pliers jaw for soft wire and cable ties.
• Knife blade: a plain-edge folding blade with a black finish, for cutting rather than prying.
• Slotted screwdriver: a fixed flat tip on the second folding tool, for slotted screws and lids.
• Bit driver: a hex bit socket at the nose of the spanner head, with two Phillips bits supplied.
• Bottle opener: a hooked opener on the spine of the same folding tool.

Key Features

• Seven named functions: spanner, pliers, wire cutter, knife, Phillips driver, slotted driver and bottle opener are the seven the supplier labels on its own callout panel, and the seven you can count in the photographs.
• Why others say twelve: sellers of this class reach a bigger number by counting each supplied bit, the bit socket, the storage slot and the lanyard holes as separate tools. There is no number in our title, because seven is what is actually there.
• Screw-thread adjuster: the worm sits in the middle of the head where your thumb already is, so the jaw is set one-handed while the other hand holds the job.
• Two bits supplied: stamped CRV PH1 and CRV PH2 on the bits themselves — chrome vanadium, the two Phillips sizes most household and vehicle screws use.
• Bits live in the handle: a channel inside the handle holds the bits, so they travel with the tool instead of loose in a console tray.
• Pocket size closed: 165 x 41 x 25 mm folded, converted from the supplier's own dimension panel, so it fits a crib bag, a glovebox or a door pocket.
• Metal handle scales: black-finished metal scales over steel liners, with torx assembly screws and three lanyard holes down one side.
• The knife is in the name: the title says folding knife on purpose. This is a bladed tool, and you should know that before it arrives, not after.

Limits

This is a carry tool, not a workshop. Read this bit before you buy it as a spanner replacement.

• Short handle, short leverage: the whole tool is 165 mm folded. A seized or properly torqued fastener — a wheel nut, a suspension bolt — will not move, and leaning on a short handle is how you round the flats.
• Stainless is softer: the head is moulded with the word stainless and nothing else. Stainless spanner jaws give up before chrome vanadium jaws do. Pull towards the fixed jaw, and stop when it starts to slip.
• Jaw capacity is unpublished: the supplier does not state the largest nut the head opens to, and we are not going to invent one. If you need a known maximum, buy a spanner with the size on it.
• Blade steel is unknown: nothing on the tool carries a steel grade. The old listing named specific grades; none of them is marked anywhere on the tool or tied to this model, so they have come off the page rather than been repeated.
• Blade lock unconfirmed: whether the blade locks open is not stated by the supplier. Treat it as a non-locking folder: keep your fingers out of the closing path and do not use it as a pry bar.
• Cutter is for soft wire: cable ties, light copper, fencing tie wire. Not hardened wire, not spring steel, not nails.
• No saw, scissors or file: there is no saw blade, no scissors, no can opener and no file on this tool, whatever the category name suggests.
• Nothing is tested to a standard: no standard number is marked on any part of it and no test certificate was sighted. It is a hand tool, not protective equipment.
• It carries a blade: knife carry rules differ between Australian states and territories, and between countries. Checking what applies where you live and where you travel is yours to do, and not something we will advise on.

Q & A

Will it undo a wheel nut?

No. A 165 mm handle cannot generate wheel-nut torque, and the jaws would round the nut long before it moved. This is for the fastener that has worked loose, not the one that went on with a rattle gun.

What steel is it made from?

The spanner head carries the word stainless moulded into it, and no grade. The two driver bits are stamped CRV, which is chrome vanadium. Beyond that no grade is marked and none could be tied to this model, so the spec table reads not specified rather than a number nobody can stand behind.

Does the knife blade lock open?

Not stated by the supplier, and not something a photograph can settle. Work on the basis that it does not lock until you have it in your hand and can see for yourself.

Does it come with a pouch?

The supplier pack shot shows a black nylon pouch with a flap sitting beside the tool. That is the only evidence there is — inclusion is not stated in writing anywhere it could be found, so treat the pouch as likely but unconfirmed.

How big is the biggest nut the spanner takes?

Unpublished. The supplier gives the folded size and the weight but never the jaw capacity, and a photograph will not settle it. If that number decides the purchase, this is not the tool to pick.

How long does it take to arrive?

Allow 10 to 14 days from the day the order goes in, and up to three weeks in regional and remote areas. Shipping is free to Australia and New Zealand.
