The tool’s components are made from heat-treated 30Cr13 stainless steel, known for its durability and toughness, while the scales are constructed from a tough polymer, making the multitool lightweight and sturdy. 

The screwdriver is a standout feature; if you like it, you can purchase a 10-bit expansion pack The scissors on the NexTool E1 are awesome!

I’ve tested all the tools, and they are sharp enough to handle tasks effectively while retaining their sharpness even after extended use. The knife and the mini scraper have thumb studs on the blade to make opening easy, while the other tools use nail nicks. 

Also: I found the ultimate toolkit for tinkerers – and yes, it’s actually practical

Some tools might feel a bit stiff to open at first — partly because the joints need to loosen and partly because there’s a knack to it. However, after a few days of use, it becomes second nature. 

The utility knife, in particular, requires some practice to open, but this is actually a good thing since it prevents accidental openings in your pocket.
