New Dakoyu X Split - Shocking Features!

So with all the brand new multi-tools coming out lately, this is another one that has come out that just came in the mail fairly recently. This is the DeCoyu Split X, or it is known as the Fission 12-in-1 tool from Warner. This is a pretty unique tool. It's got really cool features. Things that I have not seen put all together. Maybe we've seen it in parts, but not all together. Let's jump into it. So first of all, it is a utility knife and it takes, there we go, a little bit to flick it out, but it's got a really smooth action to shut and then it opens smooth enough, but there is a magnet that sort of holds it in. So you have to hold it the right way to flick it out. Now, this does take SK... Five utility blades. It will come with a couple extra. That will be the main tool on this multi-tool. Let's talk about this utility knife, the length of it. Then we'll talk about the function of the utility knife. It comes in around five inches long, around 13 centimeters. For comparison, the Milwaukee Fastback is around four and a half inches long. Because of the modularity of this tool, it will be about a half an inch longer. Now, when we get the knife out, blade change is very easy. You just push this lever out. Go ahead, slide this in, push that lever back. It is very important that you get this knife all the way back in. Or when you go to flick it back out, it will get stuck and it will not come out. So it is the same blade as the Milwaukee Fastback uses, the SK05. Both of them work either or. All right, let's give this utility knife a shot. Let's go ahead, cut through this box. Slices right through there. Slices right through there. Slices right through there. No issue. Let's do this side. Slice through. Slice through. Yeah. Works great. Comes in black or orange. I prefer the orange, but this is a longer extended utility knife. Now you can see that has a longer frame and part of that has to do with these tools on the side. Now I think this is pretty clever. How you work this is you pull this metal back. See right there, you pull that metal back. Then this tool is able to actually come off You have a set of scissors that detaches from the tool. That's pretty neat. Now, this pocket clip can be put on either of these tools. You can see these screw holes right there. You can attach the pocket clip on the saw or these scissors. Let's go ahead, grab some paracord, see how well this does. A lot of these do pretty good. Oh, yeah, these are good. These are great scissors, so thankfully they have a great set of scissors on them. Let's try some seat belt. Actually goes right through that. No issue with that at all. I do think I do have some zip ties. These are a little smaller, but we'll try those. Cuts right through the zip ties. These are really good scissors. So probably one of the most compact set of scissors I have seen. that are really, really good. Look how thin that is. You could take the pocket clip off if you want to, obviously, make it even thinner. But yeah, those are really nice set of longer scissors that are very compact. Now, of course, Nextel has several scissors. They are really compact also. But this is another one that will be pretty easy to EDC. Now, When we get this back in the frame, it has these two little tines or whatever that fit underneath at the bottom. So you've got to line it up with this bracket. You line it up with this bracket, hold this mechanism back, and then it fits. It snaps into place underneath that frame. Okay, let's do that on the other side. We'll push that back. Pull this out. It does seem to snap into place enough that it is extremely easy to dislodge it in your pocket. I haven't had any issues with that. Here's the saw. I will get a piece of wood. Let's see how this works. All right, so I've got this piece of wood. Let's go ahead, see how this does. We'll go ahead and start it out. Yeah, so very quickly, it's made a pretty good dent in that piece of wood. Again, if I would just keep cutting, I think it would cut pretty quickly through that. Pretty neat. So it is nice that you have this very minimalist saw. The same thing, you push this middle piece back, align it in the bracket, snap it back in. Now, one of the cool things is also it does look like these come with brass washers. So that's pretty nice. I really like how this tool is machined. And then one thing I did forget is there are ruler markings. So on the saw, there are centimeters. Then on the scissors, there is the normal, for us in the U.S., inches measurement. So that's pretty neat. I'll just get this back out and show the inches. You can see the inches right there. Yeah, pretty cool. All right, let's go ahead. Get this back in. Now you can see that, all right, we've got that snapped in. On the end, there is a bit driver. Now it does come with some bits. I'll go ahead, put this in here. These are four millimeter. So you can get a four millimeter to a quarter inch adapter if you so wish. Four millimeter bits are very easy to come by. Then you can go ahead and put this bit here. Now, this tool did come with this four millimeter bit set. It has some measurements on it also, centimeters, ruler markings, has an adapter for some tools. Now, I don't know why it has that because this tool doesn't need it, but this fits. All these tools fit in there, or all these bits rather. Now, what I think actually works a lot better is the kit from O-Knife. Now, O-Knife has several tools, and this really works well in the back here. It fits in enough so it catches on there. Then you can use the double-sided bits with the Phillips or the flat. Now, I wish it went a little further, but I still think it fits in there well enough to be pretty competent. Then this, yeah, fits really nicely in there. Then you have the double-sided bits, which I think make a lot more sense, this kit from O-Knife. This, I think, might be 50. $10 to $15, somewhere around there. It's a pretty cheap set. I have three of these actually, because several of them came with offerings by O-Knife with their new flashlights and so forth. But yeah, this is a very nice piece of kit. All right, so let's go into specifics. How much does this cost? Well, for the bit kit, the knife, the tool, it does come in at $49 from Dekuyu. Then from Warna, the Fusion. Or Fission, rather, this is $73 on eBay. There are some extra colors you can get. I think maybe a pink version and so forth. But it looks like pretty much the same thing. It will be about $20 extra on eBay. Now, this comes in at 6.3 ounces or 177 grams. This is a little bit of a heavier tool. This will be heavier than a Leatherman Bond. I think it's getting almost about as heavy as a rebar. It doesn't feel too bad in the pocket, but it definitely isn't super light. One of the things I love about this is obviously that it is modular. Then also the fit and finish, I feel like is done better on this tool than on many of the other clone multi-tools or some of the other tools where it's just a half of a multi-tool. I do feel like there has been a lot more thought process put into it and it actually seems to work. Everything does seem to work. Now, my one complaint, probably my biggest complaint, is that the magnet is too So it actually holds too well that when I try to flick out the knife, I really have to try pretty hard to flick it out. Now, without that magnet, I think it would easily flick out sort of like the Milwaukee Fastback. And that's why I like that because you can just fidget with it. It does come with this wire stripper, the quarter inch bit driver, then the bottle opener at the end. It is very easy to use. I really like that with the pocket clip. So this works pretty good too. You just might have to exert a little bit more force to open it than you're used to, but it works pretty good. So those are some of the things that I like. Some of maybe the negatives, the magnet holding the blade in, that will be a plus for some of you. Then also the weight of this tool, I think is a little bit, probably the biggest negative. The price at $49 also might, force a couple of people away, but as prices are rising, I do think some people have gotten used to those prices. I do like that it does have the strong magnet for the bit. That is very nice. It does seem to inspire confidence for the bit part of it that It won't just fall out. I've carried this in my pocket some, and I've never had an issue with a bit falling out. So I do like that the brass washers and the fit and finish, just the overall design of the tool seem to be made a little bit better. Now, going forward, what I'd like to see for this tool is something like a plier head, then maybe a bit driver and a knife on the outside instead of just a utility knife. I think it'd be neat to see different versions of a tool built on a design sort of like this. I would like to see what they could do, maybe have a set of scissors where one handle is this handle and the other like folds down. I don't know. It'd be interesting to see, but I think there's all kinds of fascinating things you can do with this system to really extend the platform and make it work better. One of the things we may need is a little bit of a shortened version. Over time, that Could be something that we need, but right now this is a very cool tool. Let me know what you think. How does it need changed? Is it perfect for you? What other tools would you like to see on it? Make sure to leave a lot of comments below.
