I accept it: I am addicted to multitool. My daily carry has been for the last one year Gerbar dual forceWhich is the most powerful below and the best screwdriver on a multitool that I have used. But dual force is large and heavy, and is not suitable for light applications such as hiking.

I have some hikes on the horizon where I want a flexible multitool that can handle things such as opening bottles, tightening of odd screws and cutting and fixing things. Such a compact, with a good selection of equipment in search of light multitool, I came across Nextool S11 Pro,

Placing the name aside, which gives it a sound like a smartphone, the S11 Pro is marketed as a 12 -in -1 EDC (everyday carry) multitool for the purpose of hicker and tourist.
Small but very effective bottle opener.

It measures a compact 1.97 x 0.63 x 4.12-inch and its weight is a miniscool 2.9 oz. It is much smaller and lighter than my double force, which weighs 12 ounces.
The next S11 Pro is much smaller than the Gerbar dual force.

It is also packed with the characteristics that I trust out and when. There is a good compromise of ulcer shape and performance, the blade is faster enough for most functions and keeps an edge well, and screwdrives and scissors are well designed and do their work well.
It also has some more specialist equipment, such as a SIM tray eject tool (which is useful for much more things than taking out the SIM tray), and even dark inserts have some clean glows that find multitools on the bottom of a rokesack or you have made it much easier in the underground.
I like a little glow in the dark!

The instruments are also difficult, upgraded to the 8CR14Mov stainless steel for knife blades with Nextool, a metal that has decent hardness and wears resistance and corrosion resistance, while scissors, screwdrivers, bottle openers and pliers use 5cr15mov, a more common use steel that is a more common use steel.
These ingredients are ideal for a device that is going to be exposed to rain, salt spray and sweat, and whatever tasks are being handed over to handle, by tightening a screw, being used as a cave hammer.
If you try enough, anything can be a hammer. This is that you safely hold a multitool like a hammer.

While traveling, remember that this multitool has a blade on it, and it can run dishonest by the authorities in some places (airports feel everywhere, and places like train stations in Europe). If you want something that is suitable for more travel, I advise Next mini sailor light,
The blade is easy, but it makes the Nextl S11 Pro airport unrestrained.

Why do I recommend this product
next Recently impressing me. As is someone who used to be a fan of expensive multitools, this company proves that a decent quality equipment does not have a hand and one leg cost. Of course, there is always a compromise, and you don’t get a 25 -year warranty like you meet with a letrian, but with Nextool S11 Pro You are buying a device that costs $ 30, and for this you still get a 10 -year warranty.
For me, this is the right tool if I am trying to keep the least weight. I get a set of devices that will handle the original things, without a heavy lump of metal on the mark with me.
