Summary : Great gadget
I have replaced my old pocket knife with this handy pocket tool. The blade is enough for most everyday needs. And when you run into that special need for a screw driver or small wrench, you have it in your pocket. I carry it every day.

Summary : Handy, convienent, dont throw away your Leatherman yet.
I have only had this for a few weeks but have tried to put it to the test. The little flashlight is handy but not quite what I would consider bright, the magnet feature is really handy for holding a few loose screws. The screwdriver inserts seem to be of high quality. I have not tried the wrench yet, but the size range seems limiting (Mountain biking, great), more on that later. The knife blade seems to be fairly high quality.
This is not a tool box. It is small, handy, light, convienent and has some great features. The wrench feature seems limiting, would have nice up to 5/8". No pliers, but that is the point. Small. clip in on your belt, backpack, whatever you carry with you. At some point you will say to someone, "Here, use this.".

Summary : Disappointed
When I first saw this item I was intrigued. I used to carry a very small crescent wrench and have missed having it since it was lost. The wrench on the guppy is not well machined.I don't care for the bit holder/led light. It's big for it's intended function and adds a lot of bulk to the tool. Seems to stay in place fairly well but I have been carrying it in my baggage. If the caribiner or belt clip were used I wouldn't be surprised to lose it. The screwdriver is awkward to use. There is a reason for screwdrivers to have shanks on them and the guppy doesn't . The led is a weak light, batteries were done in short order and replacement is NOT user friendly. To top it off the darn thing is heavy too.
This tool might be wonderful for some folks...I see a lot of good reviews...Myself, I'm going to replace my 4" crescent and keep my Leatherman.

Summary : good but limited
This is a well-made tool, but rather limited it what it can do. The pros: low price, generally good construction, a very sharp blade, and the wrench is a neat tool that doesn't show up on many other products. The cons: it's heavy, the blade doesn't lock, the bit holder / flashlight make the tool cumbersome, the bits slide out of the older too easily, and overall the tool lacks a lot of tools found on other multi-tools. This will go in my truck or perhaps my desk at work.

Summary : I just wish I could keep mine
I have purchased 5 of these now, and have been pursuaded to give them away to friends and family members. I am from the US, but I live overseas and my reletaves and frinds here are amazed at this little knife, wrench, screw driver, flash light, combo.
Blade is pretty sharp from the factory.
Only draw back is that I don't trust the magnets 100% to stay in place so I use a small string to keep it attached to the knife.
