Item was received in timely fashion and was as represented. Purchased for sake of it being compact and versatile for carrying in a RV. From the perspective of its dollar value, I feel it falls short. If utility and compact size are not critical, I feel that one can do much better with several select individual tools.
I've owned a few imitations and nothing can compare to the real thing. The leatherman is solidly built, easy to handle and the knives are extremely sharp. I'm constantly amazed at how many times I reach for it, from opening boxes to using the can opener to open the darned shrink wrap on CD cases!
I'll never use another brand ... and best of all: I got it with my L.L. Bean coupons!!
