RAVPower Multi-Purpose Pocket Tool Kit Review (Model RP-TL001)

Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this product for free so that I could provide product feedback to the company and post a product review. I was not required to write a positive review and I do not rate products higher than they should have been. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's requirements.

I recently received a RAVPower Multi-Purpose Pocket Tool Kit for a product review. In addition to the main tool itself, the package included a pouch and 9 screwdriver bits in a little holder.




The tool itself is wide.  To compare, I grabbed a pocket knife and multi-tool that I had and together they were about as wide as the RAVPower pocket tool.  The pocket tool also combined features of both - it had some of the tool of my multi-tool, and had a larger blade like my pocket knife.






I haven't used the pocket tool heavily, but for tasks around the house ( cutting open boxes and tightening screws ) it works just fine.








The only real problem I had with this pocket tool is the pouch itself.  The design of the pouch makes it stick out a good bit.  Additionally, inside the pouch there is a little part for the screwdriver bits but the piece of material that holds it in also causes the pocket tool to catch the material when you try to put it in.  In additional to this, the tool fits deep into the pouch.  So basically putting the pocket tool in and out of the pouch isn't as easy as I would expect, but you can still do it with one hand.

I plan to keep using this pocket tool and will update this post as needed.  Here are the main points I noticed about this pocket tool:

Knife: As a knife, the blade is sharp and has a saw part to help with cutting.

Multi-Tool: As a multi-tool, it has the common items you might need ( for example pliers/wire cutters, and can/bottle openers ).  The multiple screw driver bits also make this a handy single tool for many different quick jobs.

Pouch: The pouch could use some design changes, but overall it works.

Bottom line: As a pocket tool with a knife, this could be a useful tool to have around the house or in the car.
