Best multi tool I've ever owned. I bought all the blade types, and customized the 4mm bit set for my job. Best part is, the bit holder fits in the case with the tool. I use the scissors quite frequently, as well as various screw driver tips. Never had, or seen another multi tool that covered all the bases for my needs.
Sounds good!!
I really like the looks of that tool, the scissors are two cuts above most multitool scissors, and that large tanto blade looks very functional. Good review, and glad to see your channel growing.
Thanks!!
I have this tool and I agree about the 4mm adapter bit kit, I don't understand such a great tool why wouldn't they use a 1/4 inch drive? That would put this over the top..
I agree!!
I found an adapter that when used in conjunction with the provided 4mm bit driver and 4mm to 4mm adapter works to convert to 1/4" drive. It extends the overall length from the base/butt of the tool to 3&3/8" and is entirely magnetically retained.
Also remains completely slim the entire distance.
Yaunhoaurty is the brand on Amazon. I tried posting the link and was ghosted for some reason.
Anyways... They fluctuate in price from $3.49 to $4.20 with $1.99 delivery.
Hope that helps.
@@D-Man-lv9vu Wow! Great find. I'll look into getting one!
@@hvacbudget8600 it's definitely a worthwhile addition. Thanks for all the tool reviews I really enjoy them!
@@D-Man-lv9vu Thank you!
I just bought the roxon M3 because I needed scissors for my EDC pouch and I can't complain it's a perfect little multi-tool and it's so cheap. 👍🏻
Sounds good!
A very useful review. I wasn't aware that there was a revised model. I've been debating getting a phantom, but it's a bit steep for my budget. I currently have the basic model with blade and scissors only. Now that I know there's two flavors, I'll make sure to get this one. Thank you kindly. 👍
Glad to have helped!
just received my s802 from aliexpress. I got the s802s (updated version). Came with the replaceable cutters and bit kit. Pretty nice for its price. The scissor is huge and very good (kinda put some shame to my leatherman; in reference to those scissors on surge, P4, the tiny ones on charge tti & g10+, wave).
Very nice! It does have great scissors!
I've been using this for a little over a month now. Got a a set of alternate blades (they come in a better steel). I will say that the utility blades holder, while novel and very tempting, adds a lot of extra width to the tool that makes it cumbersome to put in and retrieve from the sheath, so don't go in expecting it to be amazing. The clip point and sheepsfoot blades that came with the utility blade holder are excellent, though. The pliers are really comfortable and the scissors have saved me a ton of trips. The lack of a file is disappointing, but I haven't found the tools it does come with lacking. While the pouch is on the larger side, it does have room for the bits inside. Overall, a fantastic tool for the price.
Really good info!
I had almost exactly the same experience, all I would add to it, is that with the utility blade holder - because of the extra width - the pliers do not close all the way. Also not all utility blades fit into the holder, for instance I'm using dewalt carbide blades, and while you can insert it into the holder it doesn't lock in place :/
I have both the multi tool and knife it’s a great multi tool knife system. Just a little heavy but you can use it as a EDC I use a couple of other tools and maxi pendition fatty pouch.
Nice!
I love all the different options roxon made!!! The best in my opinion the the knife scissor combo, but I was wondering if they made this combo with the options to change the blades?
They have a knife only with replaceable blades
Always informative as usual..!
Thank you!
I have the Roxon Storm and love the scissors on it. I used mine daily at work for a year and now it's pretty beat up
That's cool it's been so useful!
@@hvacbudget8600 I'm a tradesman, so always have a multi tool on my belt at work. I'm hard on them, so I rotate them to balance out wear and tear.
I tried the utility blade in this and agree with Top that it doesn't work well. The worst thing is that it sticks out so far that when trying to use the pliers the utility blade blocks the handles from moving to where the plier jaws are fully closed. A great idea but not executed well enough to be practical, so I put the sheep's foot blade in instead. The utility knife did work well in the separate knife handle that Roxon sell with the same interchangeable blade feature.
Really good info! Thanks!
Bought one and had to send it back. One of the plier pivots seemed to have not been heat treated properly and after I had opened and closed it a dozen or so times it got extremely gritty feeling and started shedding metal dust like crazy.
That sounds awful!
Great Multitool, however, there are some issues with the liner lock. Mine has a little offset for the saw blade, so I need to push back on it to get it to work, but for $50, it’s hard to beat!
The day has come. A little shy of 3 months later, my Roxon Phantom is retiring. Luckily, the Gerber Dual Force is here to stay.
Ive ordered 1 yesterday off amazon (uk).only problem is when i ordered i didnt know there was a 2nd version 🙈.on the uk amazon site it only says s802 not an option for s802s and it doesnt show the bit kit included.im hoping i get the 2nd version as i wanted the bit kit and saw your older review,fingers crossed!!
Your videos are a great watch bud,thanks for the content 👍
Thanks for watching!
Great videos bud,dont suppose you know anything about my querie regarding the s802 on amazon uk,cant find the s802s anywhere in the uk,if its the old version im sending back and ordering the new one from the states,or wait out for the flex 😎
@bigrockets68 Not sure about the versions there but it sounds like it might be the first generation. You might want to order direct from Roxon's website.
All good,its the new version 😎
@@bigrockets68 Great!
which do u think is better in terms of built quality and tools implementation? the roxon phantom or the nextool flagship pro? Thinking of getting either one to put in my car. thanks
Because of the Roxon's modularity I would probably choose it.
U didn't mention any of the updates from the old one...
Wonder if washers would stop the rattle cause its a pass for me with my ocd lol shame like the multi blade option 🤔
Check out my Roxon flex videos. It's a new modular tool out soon!
@@hvacbudget8600 awesome will do
also check out the roxon ks2 its a pocket knife with 14 tools
I think that’s a good choice. It probably my next multi tool purchase.
Hello, i have a question I am going to buy my first multitool, and I am looking on Daicamping dl30 and this Rexon Phantom from those 2 which would you recommend? Thanks
Definitely the DL30 Daicamping. It is essentially a Leatherman Surge style tool at a fraction of the price!!!
Is the model name of this officially S802S? can't see any mention of that model number anywhere for sale or on their website
On Amazon they list one as an updated version. It is listed as the S802S.
Yes but will it fit in an altoids tin? 😁😁😁
You might get a M2 or M3 to fit, maybe.LoL.
Is the maon difference between this and the s801s just the replacable blades ? Ia build quality the same ?
Someone mentioned it has better steel I can't really find that anywhere. Also the can opener and chisel have been switched around some.
I've looked everywhere and I can't find the tanto blade for sale.
Some of these options seem out of stock. I will try to get more info on them.
tanto only comes with this multitool, and droppoint comes only with knife (s502), others are sold separately (3 packs with 3 different blades)
also unfortunately tanto doesn't fit well in s502 knife - it has differently shaped hole for opening, and in knife this hole is partially covered by handle when blade is closed
Where do you order extra wire cutters at? Thanks
Officially it sounds like they say at their Amazon store or at Aliexpress. Couldn't find any on Amazon, Aliexpress might sell them.
Mr. Multitool, what's the difference between the older and new version?
It seems the newer version is different in it comes with a chisel bottle opener instead of a bigger wire stripping tool. And the Phillips driver used to work as an adapter for 1/4 but now works as an adapter for 4mm. Otherwise most things look the same. Someone mentioned some of the metal was upgraded but I can't confirm that.
I don’t see a pocket clip for it. Does it have a pocket clip?
No it doesn't unfortunately.
What blades are available to swap out with the saw?
Thanks. J
I don't know if any blades can replace the saw. The knife has options from Roxon like a file, Comb, utility knife, multi function cutter and several other knife blades to choose from.
@hvacbudget8600 oh thank you I do have 12 blades including a file and various blades. I guess you only switch out the saw with another saw. I never use one, but do like having 2 blades at the ready.
Does it come with the bit adapter?
I believe it comes with 4mm bits and adapter. It's been a while since I bought mine though. But that's what the Amazon site seems to indicate.
I get the budget factor but like you said. Many of these cheaper chinese multitools can't hold up to real work. Mostly the bits n screw drivers.
They are good as back ups, but it really sucks when you half way threw a job and you Philips strips.
I lost my wave on a camping trip and my bibury wave clone... Is pretty good but... I miss the smooth awesome wave.
Another great video man. Keep er up.
Thanks!!
HI did you hear about the New Leatherman Garage Batch#4 coming this coming Week???
Oh ok, Any idea what it is going to be? all i heard is Quote""" Europe 75" Thats it
@@TheTalkingPostCard So the teaser picture is of the corkscrew. Some think it's a redone Leatherman Flair. Others think it's a Leatherman K style knife You can find a picture on multi tool forum.org or Leatherman reddit
I like this tool, creative, innovative and super smooth for a big tool, 12 Interchangeable blades, and bit attachments, very well machined, at 50.00, great options..
@@hvacbudget8600 I was hoping that something cooler like the Mr. Crunch was going to be coming. OR change the name the Europe 72 and put a Grateful Dead Logo on it! LOL of course that doesn't make any since. Still, the Mr. Crunch, is still the best thing to ever come out of Leatherman, in my opinion.
@@larrya197140 Definitely. I just saw it has a file and comb that fit into the knife blade spot. Really cool!
What is the difference between the 802 and 802s?
Supposedly some metal was upgraded and the inside tools have been switched around a little. Wire stripper now on the can opener and the chisel is on the the bottle cap lifter.
Cher ami, quelles différences entre S802 et S802S ? Bit kit ?
The original S802 I believe had a 1/4" bit kit with the adapter, this one has a 4mm bit kit with the adapter.
Actually I think I am wrong. The original tool I got I returned and I don't think it had a bit holder or could fit an adapter. This kit has 4mm bits on the new tool. I have reviewed so many tools I thought for sure the original tool could fit 1/4" bits through an adapter, but I've read differently. Does your original Roxon fit the 1/4" adapter at all?
@@hvacbudget8600 La version S802 n'a pas de bit kit mais l'adaptateur 1/4" des S801/S801S par exemple s'adapte sur son tournevis cruciforme.
@@hvacbudget8600 En plus, deux outils ont été modifiés :
- tournevis cruciforme inchangé,
- poinçon inchangé,
- ouvre-boîte modifié par l'ajout d'une encoche de dénudage,
- tournevis plat large modifié en décapsuleur.
@@diezelle57 thanks!
Roxon stepping it up a bit.
They are!
I think Leatherman should start to work better AND cheaper... Great idea the rounded edges!!
Cheaper is not possible if you want to keep it made in USA.
The screwdriver bits look more like 5mm a much less common siz. Cheers
It does look a bit of an odd size but I found it is 4mm.
@@hvacbudget8600 thanks for checking, I've been caught out before.
@@petermoore9504 A lot of these overseas tools do have 5mm bits like cattleman's cutlery etc. Thankfully this doesn't.
I just want one thats scissors and replaceable knife. The s501 is knife and scissors, but not replaceable. And the s502 is just replaceable knife. Why not both 😭
Hey Nostrite, I know you posted this question 11 months ago, but not too sure if you have found out yourself since, but I was looking on AliExpress and there is now an s501u that has scissors AND replaceable blade
The amazon link you gave is out of stock
Unfortunately they seem to go out of stock quickly.
@@hvacbudget8600 yeah. now i am out of idea where to get one. Lets just say comparing nextool flagship pro with this roxon phantom (just ignore the modular part of awhile) - which has a bigger scissor and how's the built quality?
@@nitric75 AliExpress may have these. As far as build quality and tool sets, the Roxon and Nextool seem pretty close.
So what exactly is updated on it?
It seems the newer version is different in it comes with a chisel bottle opener instead of a bigger wire stripping tool. And the Phillips driver used to work as an adapter for 1/4 but now works as an adapter for 4mm. Otherwise most things look the same. Someone mentioned some of the metal was upgraded but I can't confirm that.
@@hvacbudget8600 thnx for responding, much appreciated. I think, I'll pick one up, the big scissors are very practical
@@8BitPasta They definitely are nice!
Wait, you weren't impressed???? The old version had just as good scissors and you could replace the blade with a ton of options. Not to mention 1 button quick access to the various tools and the same button to unlock the tools. What exactly did they improve?
So they changed the Philips screwdriver making it tougher and also doubling as a 4mm adapter. The chisel tool and wire stripper was changed to a chisel bottle opener. Mainly I have used the tool more, coming to realize it is better than I originally thought.
dYes, the screwdriver is crap ..that’s why I like my leather man which is full size and I use the adaptor for full size driver bits
So unnecessarily bulky....😕
Big Scissors OR big pliers, not both in one !
It is a bit bulky.
China? No thanks
