Gordon Multitool (Harbor Freight) for Alone?

- IMPORTANT UPDATE: After testing the function of the Gordon for about a week now and really liking the tool in general, a small burr formed on the pliers, kind of in a weird spot. I didn’t remember doing anything that would have caused that. A few hours later, I noticed a second burr- almost like a pimple forming in the metal. Strange, indeed. Used the tool today for an hour helping here and there pull staples from wood (small ones) and sudden, catastrophic failure, the one side of the pliers sheared off. At no point did I abuse this tool- Yes I wanted to see if it was worth its salt, so I used it. I have pliers that are 80 years old made of thinner metal that I have pushed 3x as hard and are still perfect. The root of the problem is in either casting or braising- there is a distinct brass flakiness in the point of failure. I’ll guarantee this isn’t the only one that fails- this is a big time flaw. HF rep said that there is a lifetime warranty on the tool. (However- mods….) I will be doing a follow up video as soon as I can throw one out there.
Original description: I try one of Harbor Freight’s new multitools and modify it more to a bushcraft tool themed along the lines of what could work for the show Alone. UPDATE: the Stihl file mod worked great, though drilling the file steel was quite tough.
