This one is a NexTool Silver Card Tool.

They advertise it as a 20 in 1 tool, so far I've actually found 10 of its features useful, meaning I've found use in literally half, 50% of its features.

Its actually pretty well made too ๐Ÿ‘

I've found good use in the obvious bits, the pliers, wire cutters, wire strippers, wire clamps, knife, box opener, flat and Phillips head screwdrivers on the corners, and 2 of those 6 wannabe socket things.

I have not yet used the other 4 socket things, bottle opener, bike spoke wrench, scraper thing, and a couple other things I forget.

Still a pretty handy tool in a pinch, I managed to use it to fix damaged jumper cables about 2 months ago ๐Ÿ‘

I also rock a skeletool and came here to say the same. I used pliers flathead and knife daily. Wire cutters often. Bottle opener and cross head driver rarely. "Hammer" more often than I ought.

When I'm feeling lazy I sometimes use the back corner of the blade to cut tape on packaged so I don't need to fiddle with the knife.
