A full-size multitool has its perks, but the NexTool S11 Pro offers a lightweight, dependable alternative that’s easy to carry without weighing you down.
I admit it: I’m addicted to multitools. My daily carry for the past year or so has been the Gerber Dual Force, which has the most powerful pliers and best screwdriver on a multitool I’ve used. But the Dual Force is big and heavy, and not suited for lightweight applications like hiking.
I have some hikes on the horizon where I’ll want a flexible multitool that can handle things like bottle opening, tightening up the odd screw, and cutting and fixing things. In my search for such a compact, lightweight multitool with a decent selection of tools, I came across the NexTool S11 Pro.NexTool S11 Pro
The S11 Pro is small yet mighty.
Putting aside the name, which makes it sound like a smartphone, the S11 Pro is marketed as a 12-in-1 EDC (everyday carry) multitool aimed at the hiker and camper.
Tiny but very effective bottle opener.
It measures a compact 1.97 x 0.63 x 4.12-inches and it weighs a miniscule 2.9 oz. This is a lot smaller and lighter than my Dual Force, which weighs a tiresome 12 ounces.
