User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Buck X-Tract 1 Critique
I have been using this tool daily for about a month. The pliers, Knife, screwdrivers all work great and are rugged enough for most daily chores. My only concern is that the wire cutters on the pliers will not cut braided electrical wire well.
4 Stars Does What it Claims
The great thing about this multi-tool is that it works just like it’s advertised. You can do everything with just one hand, and working at an outdoor camp, that was a handy capability.
On the down side, this thing is fairly smooth in texture and had an uncanny ability of working its way out of my pocket and falling to the ground. Which is how I lost it.
5 Stars Excellent Tool
Tool has only the essentials the are used most often – knife, pliers, flat and phillips screwdrivers and bottle/can opener. It’s not cluttered with useless features. Well made. I’ve used all the features and they can indeed be opened with one hand and, with the exception of the pliers, closed as well. A great value and highly recommended.
1 Star 3″ or 4.5″ ?
this product is listed as a 3″ blade everywhere else but Amazon lists it as 4.5, so I’m not sure. no one saying whether the blade is locking? or if it is a one handed release, if it is locking?
5 Stars pretty impressive one-hander.
I have three knives. The swiss army knife goes in the glove box. It has a corkscrew. That is a very important tool, and I have often been the only person able to provide one. I have a Ka-Bar that I take camping. It is the most useful camp knife on the planet. It hammers tent-pegs into the ground, it cuts everything, and — according to legend of the Ka-Bar name, it will protect you from larger carnivorous wildlife. It scares the grocer, however. And with good reason; it’s big.
The Buck X-Tract lives on my belt. I use the knife often, the pliers regularly (and despite their relatively small size they do an impressive job), and the screwdrivers lots. Though the handle, when the tools are deployed, feels a little hollow and flimsy, it has yet to prove so. And ever single tool opens with one hand, locks in place securely and automatically, and easily unlocks and closes with one hand. That’s pretty impressive.
