Right out of the box it is actually not as bulky as I expected. In fact it is a comfortable fit for me. Metal casing feels sturdy and overall the unit is reasonably solid. Nothing loose or wobbly, pliers and other items a little stiff but that's to be expected of a new product and they should loosen over time with reg. wear. Product is easy to remove from carry case and the case has a separate little pocket for the bits. Product carries well on belt, not heavy but you know it's there. Certainly worth the price for a affordable multi-tool.
