Not a great design, May 16, 2009
By kustmpaintr from Connecticut (read all my reviews) (read all my reviews)

Advantages: Style/Design
Disadvantages: Difficult to use, Durability, Performance

"A bit of a let down. Not the quality that you would expect from the name Browning. Good idea, poor execution. Feels flimsy and not very strong. If you just need a light tool for certain light tasks then this will work, but if you are going to rely on this type of tool for an extreme outing you might want to look into others."

Disappointed, February 28, 2009
By Slusooner from Oklahoma (read all my reviews) (read all my reviews)

"I saw this at Bass Pro and thought it was cool. I have not seen this particular mix of tools on any other fishing multitool. In particular I liked the jig eye cleaner and backlash pick, as I imagined I would use those frequently. Plus it was by Browning which I figured would be a bonus, quality wise. Unfortunately on my very first outing using this tool, less than two weeks after I bought the thing, the pliers broke when I was trying to use it to cut a plastic tie on the packaging of my son's new fishing rod. Most pliers would cut this with no problem. I guess the "cutters" on this tool are strictly for fishing line. Nonetheless, based on previous reviewers' comments as well as my own experience, this tool is definitely not worth the money. I wish I would have read those reviews first before buying it."

High Hopes, July 8, 2008
By bmon from Iowa (read all my reviews) (read all my reviews)

"This item was a bit of a disapointment, I thought it would have been better due to the Browning name. I was wrong, for the price I should have bought a Leatherman. The tools on these pliers are low quality, the blade barely cuts mono let alone even attempt to cut braid. The pliers are too blunt for me, I like a pointer needlenose. Overall, wish I could send them back."

Problem's, June 3, 2008
By mtriton from south carolina (read all my reviews) (read all my reviews)

"When i got this tool, it already had the bolt head grounded off from someone over tighten the cutter blade's. I can't even replace the cutter blade's because of it. Now since i've had it about 3 week's the plier's don't want to open and if they do, they won't close good. All around bad product with browning's name on it. I have alway's had good stuff from browning but this is the worst i've ever had. Not built or tested enought."
