ROVERTAC 12-IN-1

Price: $20

RoverTac’s 12-in-1 initially caught our eye because users on Amazon rated it 4.5 stars, and it lands decidedly on the less expensive end of the spectrum. While it might be a little bulky and hefty, it has good capability for the price. We don’t expect the 12-in-1 to hold up to heavy use—it’s better suited for light duty and the “save your butt” role when you’re in need of a tool. The long-nosed pliers worked well, as did the wire stripper, and the wire cutter earned four out of five points. The can opener, bottle opener, and various screwdrivers performed decently. RoverTac claims the tool includes a saw blade, but it’s more like a serrated knife, which worked, just not great. The plain knife blade was sharper than it looked and easily cut through rope and twine. A nice convenience is the sewn nylon sheath to attach the 12-in-1 to your belt.
