![]() The head is a tad smaller than a true #2, I'd say #1.5. The 3mm flathead matches the one on the Wingman's file. I removed two screws with it, and the paint did not survive. I am confident it can open cans, but the paint will be removed. It does fit Philips #2 screws, but it flexes if the screw is tight. It has the bevel on the opposite side of the Victorinox can opener. Modeled after the Victorinox can opener, with the 3mm flathead on top. I can also cut small gauge wire, but it will not be a clean cut. There is some play between them, but if I push them together, I can cut paper. They are needlenose, but do not come at as fine a point as the Wingman. I feel like I'm fighting the spring, and were I to use the tool for any length of time, I'd eventually switch to another multitool. The pliers are spring loaded, which is nice.

Width: At the widest point, 1 7/8 inches.This is slipjoint, so there should be no issue there. Slipjoint: In some countries it is illegal to have locking blades, or one-handed opening blades.If the only thing different was the brand name, it would cost much more. Granted, it is not very bright, but it is adequate for looking at what you're working up close. The rubber inserts give some traction, and there are no sharp edges to dig into your hands. Comfort: The handles are wide, making it very comfortable to hold and operate.It even comes in a nice thick cardboard box. The vertical strap has velcro and a snap button, for quick attachment to belts. It comes with a very well-made sheath.The pliers are also spring-loaded for ease of use. Convenience: Tools are accessible without folding the pliers open.Useful for screwdriver tips, and for safely closing sharp tools. Half-stop: The tools snap at both 90° and 180° angles.Springs are very strong, maybe too strong. Tools are extracted individually, without clumping. Includes scissors, awl, wood saw, and file, which are often left out of budget multitools. Not like those no-name multitools at convenience stores. Throughout this review, I will be comparing it in general with the Leatherman Wingman, as well as other multitools for specific implements. ![]() It costs less than $30 US, sheath included. I had several Coast flashlights, and I was very satisfied, so I thought I'd get a multitool, just to see if it's worth it. Coast C5799B LED145 LED Pocket Pliers Multi-Tool
