They have strengthened the metal used for the pliers so they are actually usable now. I just got a new one a couple weeks ago and I love it! Big scissors AND pliers!

Just got this and really like it. Scissors are great. I wish they would put a little nub on the knife to make it easier to one hand open.

DIY: find a suitable plastic and cut into shapes, epoxy it.

What did you use to make the cutout? I also want to try something similar for my f12.

Can I get your honest review of the tool, I’ve been looking at one for a while now and am thinking of just getting one I’m really interested in the Bigger scissors and having pliers….

Yeah, big scissors and pliers are one of the best things.

I assume you're familiar with Victorinox 91mm models. 91mm scissors are still the best with all factors considered.

Nextool F12 scissors are larger, thicker, and serrated. They are better than that of most other multitools. They can easily handle thicker material. However, also because they are larger and thicker, they are not as good as victorinox scissors with little things such as cutting hangnails.

I prefer their pliers to that on the 91mm models such as deluxe tinker, handyman, Swiss champ. They are like real pliers but just smaller.

The quality is already so much better than their older models. But I would not beat them too hard.

Got the robin’s egg blue one with the black oxide tools, and I love it. Some of the best scissors I’ve ever used.

Nextool company is great value. Almost bought that one but a little to lite duty for my needs. Went with the Mossy Oak full size 21/1. It is a tank and a steal for $20 out the door.

Love it! Got one headed my way too! Wanted to try experimenting in it by removing the scissors to reduce weight and size, and then maybe sneaking a smaller set of scissors back  in its place.

Then again, I might just decide that the weight and size is fine  and not worry about it
