Why this one

A pocket tool for light repairs, in the red finish used in the hands-on review.

What was found

The red Dime is small enough for a pocket. Its blade and scissors are useful, but its file and tweezers are limited.

What owners report

One owner reports bent pliers during simple jobs. Another describes stiff opening and broken tweezers. Keep it for light tasks and do not force it.
