1900CP IDL Tools, Neat design, poor assembly..

Overall Rating2.52.52.52.52.5

Neat design, poor assembly quality.

It’s a better design than the Swisstech, because the handles hinge outward and won’t twist when you try to use it, and the handle is not as slippery. The handles are also shaped like more useful pliers, with a concave profile and wide stance.

Both handles are slightly crooked. When closed, it just looks like junk.

It is hard as heck to open, but one of the smaller screwdrivers tends to flop open.

I had one of these many years ago, when it was “Sebertech”. The old one was not junk like this. “IDL Tools” apparently has low standards, which is too bad because they have a superior design.

The competing SwissTech is of slightly higher quality, but it too was once better.

If you want this as a gift for someone, the Swisstech looks much better. Or maybe you want to pay more for a Leatherman Squirt.

Update (5/18/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen.

IDL Tools Keychain Multi-Tool
This is a nice little tool to carry on a keychain or leave in a drawer when you can get relaxed in the joints. Also in contrast to her appearance, she is not out-brush finished stainless steel - it rusts very quickly when exposed to moisture in a wet pocket. The shape of the gun is particularly good for the attack and drew brackets, which was brought about by a standard drawing tool and insert the left parenthesis in a thick bundle of pages.
