Survival Multitool Hatchet

Wow. What a perfect camping tool. I love this item... I really wasn’t sure about the capability of this multi tool before buying it; the concerns about quality and especially the locking function were paramount. When I got this tool I was immediately impressed by the design and just the feel of the entire piece. The axe is really an axe! It’s sharp and stout; I have never owned a multi tool with a working axe built on the top and backed with a hammer head. The tools inside are uniquely placed for maximum use of the room within the handle. The tools are blackened and I have yet to test the level of lasting coverage that this can take before scratching and loss of color. But the alloy seems very good with Rockwell numbers. I just can’t get over the sharp axe that has a rubber cover that has already been cut a bit! The entire axe and hammer head has a nice sheath to cover things up. The overall length was longer than expected without being too large for easy storage. I have now purchased several RoverTac tools and they have all been really great looking and designed for excellent functionality. I will update after some hard use, which is the ultimate desire for such a well designed tool. I will say that this will also be a very good option for defensive use... I am a big fan of tomahawks due to the ability for self defense even within the hard world of current soldiers. They are more than just tools for opening things and chopping items. They are capable of precise throwing and personal defense. This multi tool would probably not be a great thrower and I am not advocating that anyone throw this item because it would probably just damage or scratch up the cool red handle!!! But I can recommend this highly out of the box and after some basic work done in order to make this recommendation. If things change. I will make sure to let you know.

The media could not be loaded. Right away out of the box I noticed the tools moved a LITTLE more easily than I PERSONALLY preferred, BUT.... nothing that tightening a couple screws didn't fix. OUTSIDE of that, this multi tool is built SOLID. I recorded a few videos of me using the axe, the saw, the hammer, & the can opener but apparently you can only submit one video so I went with the axe cutting video. The saw cut through wood with ease! The hammer works really well. The can opener works as good as any other I've ever used. I like the fact that as I'm swinging this whether, I'm using the hammer or the axe, the other tools seem pretty snug & stay put in their positions instead of working their way lose & getting in the way. The whistle works well & can get pretty rough on the ears. I did the old "shave the hair on the arm" bit to see how sharp the knife blade was & BOY IS IT SHARP! SO IS THE AXE BLADE! BE CAREFUL WHILE HANDLING THIS! As a whole, I like how it feels in the hand. Not too thick, not too bulky. The locking mechanism works really good so when you need to use them they don't come lose & allows you to put some elbow grease into it if you need to use a little extra muscle. If you like camping or other outdoor activities & want a GOOD, RELIABLE, STRONG, STURDY tool to stick in your bug out bag but DON'T want to SPEND an ARM & a LEG...THIS IS DEFINITELY THE TOOL to get! I know I'm keeping this in my outdoors bag from now on!

In general, I am pleased with it. It's a cool gadget to play or pass as a gift. Made of basic materials and feels a bit flimsy. The fire starter - does not produce sparks. I try hard with the axe blade, could not get any sparks but got the axe blade dull. Which means, it is made of inferior steel and is not heat treated. Which is ok, for the price. The axe has a case as on the pick, it's a plus. All tools can be locked in open position, which is great. There is some slop, when opened, which is a minus. The black coating will not last, and the steel will apparently rust. And I am just seeing the whole thing falling apart from strong axe blow or other hard use. Still, may save life in case of single time emergency, when you are stuck somewhere with your car in cold weather, and need to start a fire. Still, it's a good tool to put into your emergency kit and keep in your car. Just in case, and don't use it too much. Just oil it well, put some sharpener with it, and don't forget a separate fire starter.

Waiting for summer too use it

The media could not be loaded. This will be great for camping, lots of tools that are slightly larger than a Gerber/Leatherman or other multitool. The various tools have a tendency to wiggle out during shipping and traveling in a cargo area with room to move so I put a rubber band around them to keep them from popping out and damaging other things around it. Everything feels sharp and decent quality for the price, will update if anything turns out not as expected

JUST BUY IT. This axe is not only a tool but it can be used for defense. The edge is sharp and it will cut and has no problem with cutting wood. What's nice is that the other tools in this multi tool lock in place. The case is ok, nothing special though. Depending on your pants pocket it can fit into your pocket. Hands down great tool by rover tech.

But the idea of using a hatchet out in the woods is a bit dicey. If you hurt yourself there's nobody there. So be very cautious when you use the hatchet if you are alone in the woods.

I don't know what possessd me.
