I have purchased several of these type of multitools for carry when I am out in public but because I live in the nanny state jokingly called the U.K. I have to take the locks off anything that is considered a blade and make sure that the blade configuration does not exceed 3 inches in length, not just the cutting edge either. I have numerous leatherman's and delocked one off them, but will not do that to any of the others.
The bonus is they are cheap to buy and for the price work satisfactorily after a little bit of tinkering. Good vid. LIKED.
I have bought the Daicamping DL7. Unfortunately, it had several problems: the plier handles were very loose and disalligned, the scissors did not lock and several of the inner tools had significant play. These inner tools also felt pretty flimsy, given how thin they are. So I had to return it. I also have the Shall multitool which has an overall better build quality, been pretty happy with that one.
That's unfortunate!
My oh my …….. Amazing! I’m looking forward to learning more about the device! 😎👍🏻
Trade-offs & competitions in the world of multitools. Such in life..! Be great to see the disassembling vid further down the road. Cheers mate.
More good news....I took some extra washers from old Leathermans and put a washer between the outer blades and the scales and was able to tighten the screws up tight and still easily able to one hand open and close the blades....now there is absolutely no play in the blades and they make a nicer hard open click
Nice!
@@hvacbudget8600 beings as you have both the Leatherman Charge and the clone .....do the thumb studs work on both
Definitely going to get a couple of these for the GRANDKIDS!
Good plan.
DL7 currently £27 on Aliexpress, in their sale
Great price!
So I have had my SQT charge clone for a little over a week. I work in the trades, I am a telecommunications technician that deals with fiber, copper, and wireless.
First I want to say that this is still holding strong and and I am very happy with it. 2nd I have to give praise because this is probably out of all the knockoffs that I have bought from Rocktol, mossy oak, bibury, swiss tech, Flissa, and daicamping ( all the wave/surge clones 😂) this is the smoothies ( Don't think I spelled that right lol) opening and closing out of them all and it's not even close. I mean this is almost as good are my modded wave. My only issue is the wobble of the handles when it's closed.
If you even find a way to fix that please let me know.
Also, what all do you need to do to make the charge scales fit on the SQT/DL 7? I found some carbon fiber scales on AliExpress with tritium slots and want to know what I will need to do to make them fit
I'm glad it is working out so well for you! All you need to do is very minimally drill out the bottom holes where the tools are attached as in opposite from the plier head pivots. And that's it. It is an easy mod. The hardest part is getting the DL7 back together!
Just got mine today....had to slightly loosen the screws to operate it smoothly,also tried the replacement wire cutter blades from Rocktol and they fit perfectly
Very cool! I love mine!
I was gonna replace the saw blade with the Rocktol t-shank but idk....that saw is wicked
A D2 blade would be better for the Titanium looks.
True!
Ok received mines… it’s lightweight, has a comfortable grip, my scissors work like a charm… it’s a Highly Recommend. Will get the job done. Thx again @hvacbudget for all the reviews and tool updates. 🤙🏽
You're welcome!!
Do you know the weight? Is there any where to add a pocket clip?
Why didn't they show it? How to open blades with one hand?
Even though it's a good price like you stated if it gets misplaced or stolen it's not a big hit to the wallet for a number of people,I'll stick to the Daicamping DL2 and DL 30 I bought going on 4 weeks now.Those two multi tools are two of the best purchases I've made on any tools in a good while.These are gap stop tools never primary tools and they are extremely capable of what they're made for and some more.These are the I can't get every full sized tool with me at the moment for what ever is the reason comes up like it happens often in the trade business as you well know.This one is definitely a non thought for me no need for any other Daicamping DL series multi tool for now.
This model is DL7
There's A second one on Amazon that looks like a free series but has the same interior implements as this that comes with a pocket clip
What is it called?
I bought one. The build is nice. But I still think you get what you pay for. A Leatherman, once opened by the pliers, it locks open like regular pliers until you force them to close. The diacamping just folds, doesn't really take anything to do it. I guess for a 3rd of the price, it's worth it if you need it for work and not just a toyvc
leatherman is in more and more trouble- they really need to come up with something new
Unfortunately (or not, depending how one views the situation) these clones are really getting good!
They have actually come out with a lot of new models over the last few years like the Free series, Bond, Curl, Arc, ect. The problem they are going to run into is they are going to price themselves out of business. The new Arc is $230.00 and some people are having problems with the hard wire cutters. It seems that $20.00 multitools outperform them in some cases. A 230.00 made in the USA tool should outperform a $20.00 one in all aspects. I remember years ago I purchased the Wingman for about $30.00 and now it is $70.00. These Leatherman inspired tools are actually very good quality. I own several of them and while they are not on par quality wise with the Leatherman's, they are probably a better value for the money!
@@cranstonsnord4334Agree 👍🏽 …as long as it gets the job done. Economics are tough at the moment…good enough…is good enough when your Budget is small.
I picture that someone may buy a clone because it’s a low barrier in price, and start to get interested in multi tools and later on buy a leatherman or swiss tool to enjoy a more premium product ( in the scheme of things these are still cheaper than cars, motorcycles,rolexes, etc) so it’s a small luxury that may be within reach of a working person.
will it be possible to install t-shank adaptor from dl30 into this titanium sqt?
I'm not sure because the DL30 is essentially the Surge, but this is essentially a Wave. I believe they may be different pivot sizes and have different handle thickness tolerances.
Does anybody know why aliexpress will no,longer ship daicamping to the UK? I ordered two DL30 a few months ago no issue. I liked them so much I thought I’d order these but no longer ships. Really strange
That is odd!
Is it possible to put one of their pocket clips on this piece? What is the exact weight? Thanks!
It is 270g or 9.6oz. You could add a pocket clip if you're willing to drill a hole for the piece on the clip that prevents it from sliding around the handle. Check out my recent mod video where I described doing something similar to the M1 Roxon.
@@hvacbudget8600 Thank you
Clones are getting better and better... but I cant buy my 4th clone cause the Charge was to expensive for me... its getting out of hand and nearly as expensive as an Charge. 😂
It gets addicting!
Hey H, so I have been using this MT for about a month now and I just wanted to ask you a question about the quality.
So the tool opens and closes extremely smoothly, all the tools open and close smooth, I love the tool set and the look. Just ordered a carbon fiber scales from AliExpress and some tritium tubes to help dress her up.
My only complaint about this tool is that it has some really bad flex when using any of the inside tools for like a pry bar, screwdriver, or any kind of twisting of the frame. It feels like it's going to break and I wanted to see if you have found any fix for that at all? And at first didn't really bother me but the more more I use it the worse and worst seems to be getting at this point. Now I'm a network technician so I am using this thing daily, and if I could fix the flex then it would be a perfect tool. I understand it's a "cheap" ( i have a DL30 with no issues at all and it's less than this was)
So I understand how the quality can defer. BUT, The flex on this might be the worst out of almost any multi-tool I've ever had and I hope you have some type of insight to this
Wow, that's not good. I've been carrying mine almost daily but I use it mostly for package opening and such. I'll look into my 3 tools and see if I notice the same issue.
Hopefully bibury will have one one Amazon with a pocket clip please!!!! Lol
There kinda is. There's one that looks like a free series that has a pocket clip on Amazon
I edc carried a skeletool for like 4-5 years. I loved the simplicity of it but hated how heavy it was and the bad pocket clip design. I lended it to the person who gifted it to me and was kinda heartbrooken when it was lost (yeah i know lol).
I started to carry these chinese clones bc of price and i wont be so heart broken when its lost.
Now im just in search of something simple like the skeletool but a bit better designed. I dont need a saw or an awl. I just want a good knife, pilers, a good flat head(or pry bar), a Philips head, a bottle opener, and maybe some other small stuff. Still in search of something like that if you have any recommendations 😅
Not to many minimal good options out there unfortunately. The Gerber crucial is more minimal but it feels chunky. The Sog flash mt might be almost to minimal.
amazing! Can't wait to anodize this titanium scales to some funny colors!
Awesome idea man, lemme know if it worked.
Mr. Kincaid, will you be sending this to Mr. Leatherman so he can check it over ?
Probably not. Rolex watches have thousands of homage look alikes but in the multi tool world homages, clones, look alikes definitely are not appreciated as much.
I can’t decide if I want to pick up the SOG Power Access for $36 on Ali Express or the SQT 2048 on Amazon for $39. What do you all think?
I think the SQT is a more capable all around tool but the SOG is lighter and will have much smoother opening pliers.
Thank you, I appreciate the insight!
I wonder when Leatherman and Gerber are going to file copyright infringement lawsuits against these companies. Plus what is the warranty on then. Alliexpress has not been totally honest about their warranty. If it is sold on Amazon then I would be interested in purchasing one.
I think most of these clones are made after the original patent expired. I usually try to buy from the creator but i do like the clones that come out when the original was discontinued or not sold anymore.
Maybe the clone company talked with their l Iawyers?
@beatlepaul77 After the patent ends, idk if they have to talk to their lawyers at that point....
Can you check and see if the pliar's removable wire cutters fit on an Arc? This pair certainly looks like a clone...
The wire cutters are still different and will not fit interchangeably. The Leatherman wire cutters are wider.
Would be top dog chinese tool if scissors and pliers was made from 7Cr17. Oftenly use them on my charge al and i am not sure about low carbon tool's.
I drank every time you said the word "then".
interesting
I’m unsure why a safety seatbelt cutter would ever have a blade on the opposite side. Hardly safe.
That hook is honestly one of my favorite things on the charge and one of the only reason I sometimes grab it over other options. I use it to cut zip ties/string etc. I wish every MT had a hook on a blade like that!
@@MrNb131 I agree it’s a really useful thing, I used to have a cheap knife with one on that was a ruler. Brilliant thing, plastic bags, ties, anything were easier/safer/less scary for innocent bystanders ;) to open with the hook. Right-hand, one-hand opening thumb stud, made it easy to go to first, if only the screws holding it together were as good as the design :(
How do you avoid cutting what’s the zip tie’s fastened to? Is it just technique and being bloody careful?
The scissor spring slips.
The clinics were difficult to open with one hand, no matter what I did, I lubricated them, loosened the screws, bent the liner locks inward, nothing helped. Then I put metal washers under the blade and plastic washers above the blade became normal. The spring of the scissors also pops out if you cut something hard and thick at an angle.
I'm afraid the big question is, will Leatherman go bankrupt or sell to another company, probably in China.
Y victorinox también
which is better, the SQT or the Daicamping?
These seem the exact same to me.
We all know that it is not titanium, right? for $39.
In my own opinion, it would be better if the plier head is not a replacable wire cutter style
Si pero no . Si por qué la hace más frágil y no. Por qué si se rompe se puede cambiar.
@@aoreliachavez5812but the replaceable plier head is weak and easy to broke compare to non replacable.
it sucks compared to the dl30
The dl30 is the surge clone ....that's like comparing the surge to the charge...let's be real here
@@ironheadcj5 except the dl30 is an actual surge.. And the dl7 is missing lots of stuff to be a propper clone. Also surge wins because you can create an entire tooktit by turning tools into t shank adapter tools.. All saws. I added a glass cutter etc. Cannot do that with the charge. Also the serrated blade has a flat tip that can be turned into a chisel. The file goes in the tshank holder leaving space for another blade used for finer tasks. So you have a so it all blade and one you keep sharp. The file is diamond so you can sharpen all the tools Ith the tool. The charge is for people that collect edc and never use it. The surge is used by every soldier I Know and tradesman.
@@ironheadcj5 also scissors on dl30 are giant and can cut through jeans.. Unlike the charge who only has one for manicures
@@myname-mz3lo wrong again....the sqt 2048 is exact other then the 1/4" driver so .
And it actually has more than the charge ....where are you getting your info from?
@@ironheadcj5 owning both and modding them heavily. The dl30 is way more moddable. And the real people that actually use tools like moddable things. Unline the edc collectors.
