Multi-tool "Piranha" from China

Weight Multi-tool "Piranha" from China about 150 grams. Length approx. 120 mm, maximum width 65 mm, thickness 10 mm. The tool is equipped with a rigid polished metal clip-fastener, which allows you to attach the Multi-tool "Piranha" from China to your belt and makes it very comfortable to wear.

Details fit well and don't wobble. On one side there is a stopper lever that locks the spring-loaded handle of the pliers. It is very pleasant to hold in your hands. I tested the nippers in the garage on a wire from under the battery. I changed the clamps. The pliers did their job perfectly well. At first, the pliers rubbed a little in the places of contact, but after getting a little dirt and machine oil on them and after cleaning, they began to work perfectly. A switch that locks the handle of the pliers holds it securely in place.

Pliers and their teeth resemble the head with jaws of a piranha fish, and that's why this set from China was called "Piranha". An adjustable wrench is located at the other end. This is the first time I see such a tool on such sets. This key extends 11 mm. I tested it on nuts when I unscrewed the battery, there are just 10mm nuts. Everything turns without problems. But it is still advisable to process the surface and thread of WD-40 before turning some rusty nuts or bolts. Anyway, after using the Multi-tool "Piranha" from China a dozen times, a slight backlash appears, but such devices, as far as I know, always have it. Does not interfere with work.

Now let's move on to the knife. This is one of the most important parts of any set. Piranha from China has a knife with a 4 cm blade, black, with the inscription "Piranha". The blade steel of the 3Cr13 grade, from which the knife is made, has a hardness of 54-56HRC. At least that's what it says on the store's website.

3Cr13 Chinese stainless steel, which is a modified 440A steel hardened to approximately 57 HRC. Due to the increased carbon content, its cutting properties are superior to 420J2, but inferior to 420HC. It is used on knives of the middle price category from different manufacturers

There is a large protrusion on the knife to open it. The knife, as you already understood, is small and it is not convenient for them to cut bread, although it is possible. But it is quite possible to strip the wires or open a can of canned food. The knife is not sharpened too sharply, but if you sharpen it, you can cut almost anything that a standard knife usually cuts.

There are also three screwdrivers in the set. Two flat screwdrivers of different widths and one cross. These screwdrivers are located in a recess at the end of the pliers and are held by a magnet. It seemed to me that the screwdriver in this set is designed for loosening small bolts and screws. For larger ones, it has little functionality.

The verdict. Multi-tool "Piranha" from China interesting and functional for little money. Some tools are at first glance useless, such as a screwdriver and a short knife, but there are situations in life that you will be happy with such tools. They will come in handy anyway. The adjustable wrench, pliers and wire cutters have worked well. Such a set from China will be indispensable for a car, so that its place is in the glove compartment of my car. I personally liked it. Do you need such a set from China, decide for yourself.

Happy shopping!
