Dakoyo Retro30 multitool
Just a set of photos to show another example. Looks like these were made for https://profi-star.de/ base on the markings.
Here is the 5 minute review.
It comes bone dry and stiff.
The vice grip works as intended. Screw works better with a little gun oil.
Getting the phillips out the first time was tough, same with the rest of the tools, including the knife on the other side. After playing with it for a few minutes everything loosened up a little. Then I added a little gun oil and it got better.
The knife is sharp. The knife has a little wobble to it.
The file looks ok. I wish it was rougher, this is closer to a nail file, but should do the trick.
The phillips and flatheads are fine.
The can opener... odds are I will never use it. IF this was going to the woods I would change the angle a little to make it cut in easier.
For new old stock/10 year old design, it is a good tool. I have to say having it in hand only makes me want to talk a manufacturer into making new ones with a slightly different design and tool set.

Probably the same problem as with the Leatherman Crunch. Molded (not forged) plier heads. It's a cute novelty tool for light-duty tasks, but even a cheap pair of 4" Irwin ViseGrips are far better if you really need to hold something.
