DEWALT DWHT71843 MT16 Multi-Tool Review: Our Shop?
In our shop, a multi-tool earns its keep only if it can jump from quick fixes to real work without drama. The DEWALT DWHT71843 MT16 Multi Tool makes a strong case right out of the gate: compact in the pocket, confident in the hand, and ready when we’re crawling under a bench or trimming a stubborn zip tie.

It’s not trying to replace a full toolbox, but it does cover those “right now” moments when walking back to the drawer is the real cost. In this review, we’ll see if it truly belongs in our daily carry.
