This Triple-Handle Multitool Fits Pliers and Scissors in One Pocket

Somewhere in your house, a pair of scissors is hiding directly beside the screwdriver you needed yesterday. They have formed a union. The NexTool Flagship F20 proposes a compact response: put scissors, pliers, a knife, and a bit driver in one folding body, then give it a third handle because apparently two hands needed more administrative options.

This triple-handle multitool is built around an unusual arrangement. Pliers unfold from one end, while a proper pair of scissors opens from the other. Fold everything away and the elaborate little metal creature becomes a pocket-sized bundle. Open it up for display and it looks like office supplies have evolved legs.

The clever part is the shared structure. The scissors get a long operating handle without requiring you to carry a separate pair, and the pliers still have their own familiar two-handle setup. You use the appropriate tool with the others folded away; the fully spread-out arrangement shows the mechanics, rather than suggesting you should grip an entire cutlery drawer at once.

Scissors get more than the leftover corner

On some compact tools, scissors feel like a consolation prize. They are present, technically, in the same way an airline pretzel packet is technically dinner. The F20 gives cutting a more prominent role, with a dedicated slim handle that swings out from the main body.

NexTool calls the cutting system Nex Scissors 2.0. Its blades are listed as 2.3 mm thick, with a curved, serrated cutting edge intended to hold material during a cut. The manufacturer shows them working with cord and describes fabric and packaging among their everyday uses.

That makes the design interesting for people whose small daily jobs involve opening, trimming, and snipping. Think of the string on a parcel or the packaging standing between you and the thing you ordered to make life easier. Packaging has a remarkable talent for becoming the most difficult part of ownership.

Of course, substantial handles do not turn a compact pair of scissors into workshop shears. Material thickness and the particular job still matter. The appeal here is having a more deliberate cutting tool within reach, without permanently relocating the kitchen scissors to your jacket pocket and starting a domestic investigation.

Pliers at the other end, errands everywhere

The opposite end carries a 5.4 mm thick plier head. The tool diagram identifies needle-nose jaws, regular gripping jaws, and wire cutters, plus an electrical crimper elsewhere in the assembly. It is a familiar collection for small gripping and repair tasks, arranged around a less familiar folding body.

A compact multitool makes the most sense when the job is small enough that finding the toolbox feels disproportionately dramatic. You spot a loose component, need to grip something your fingers cannot comfortably hold, or discover that a quick adjustment has become your afternoon’s surprise side quest.

Here is how the F20 divides that everyday workload:

• Cutting flexible materials: the separate scissor handle gives the scissors their own operating grip.
• Gripping small parts: the plier head combines narrow tips and a broader gripping section.
• Turning screws: a folding flat-bit driver provides screwdriver access without a row of individual driver arms.
• General blade work: a separate folding knife handles jobs better suited to an edge than to scissors.
• Carrying between jobs: a pocket clip keeps the folded tool accessible.

The useful question is whether those are the jobs you actually do. Owning an enormous menu of implements is less impressive when the only thing you regularly reach for is the screwdriver. Nobody awards extra points because your pocket could theoretically service a submarine.

The pocket math

The F20 closes to 81.6 mm long, roughly 3.2 inches. NexTool lists its weight as 147 grams with a tolerance of 5 grams, or about 5.2 ounces. Its width is 33.5 mm and overall thickness is 20 mm. Those numbers describe something compact, although your pocket still has to accommodate a solid little stack of metal.

That is worth considering alongside everything else you carry. A tool that sounds small in a product description has to negotiate with your keys, wallet, phone, and whatever mysterious receipt has survived three laundry cycles. The clip offers another way to position it instead of letting it sink into the bottom of that ecosystem.

The stonewashed finish also gives it a pleasantly practical appearance. It looks ready to live beside keys and loose change, rather than demanding its own velvet cushion. The cutouts, dark implements, and small green handle tip make it visually distinctive without turning it into a blinking gadget.

A knife, a driver, and a sensible reality check

The main knife has a 60.4 mm blade, and the specification sheet lists a blade lock. The driver folds out separately, with PH1 and 3/16-inch slotted functions shown in the tool diagram. NexTool describes an expandable flat-bit system, so buyers planning a larger bit collection should check the required fit before assuming their existing bits will slide straight in.

That last point matters more than a heroic tool count. A driver is useful when it matches the fastener in front of you. If most of your projects call for a particular bit shape, make sure the tool can accommodate it. A screwdriver that almost fits is merely a very confident way to become annoyed.

There is also a ruler built into the narrow handle and a translucent glowing tip. Those are convenient additions, although the glow is a locating detail, not a substitute for a flashlight. NexTool advertises twelve tools; its illustrated tally includes features such as the clip and glowing block. The practical buying decision is about the actual implements, not winning arithmetic against another multitool.

This particular layout concentrates on cutting, gripping, and driving. It is not the model to choose because you want a folding saw or dedicated bottle opener. Knowing what is absent is useful: otherwise your first camping snack could turn into an awkward conversation with a sealed container.

Who would actually carry it?

The strongest match is someone who reaches for scissors as often as pliers and wants both in a compact package. It could suit a bag of everyday repair essentials or the person who is routinely asked, with alarming optimism, whether they have a tool for that.

There is still a place for full-sized tools. If a project involves repeated cuts, lots of screws, or sustained work in an awkward space, dedicated equipment earns its drawer. The F20’s appeal is the short job you encounter between other things, when walking across the house to find three separate tools feels like an expedition requiring snacks.

Its unusual folding arrangement is also the reason to look closely before buying. Some people will appreciate having scissors integrated this way; others already have a favorite pair they will defend in court. Neither group is wrong. The useful tool is the one you are comfortable carrying and reaching for.
