NEXTOOL S0 - The Micro Scissors

For decades, the LEATHERMAN Micra has been the undisputed king among keychain tools. However, with the NEXTOOL S0 (Micro Sailor Scissors), a new competitor emerges, demonstrating that high-quality craftsmanship and modern metallurgy don't have to be expensive. This micro-multitool for the keychain combines everything necessary – including scissors, a file, tweezers, a screwdriver, and a bottle opener – in one compact format.

The small multifunctional scissors come with a leather pouch. The NEXTOOL S0 multitool has a 10-year warranty.

The NEXTOOL S0 has a compact size of 61 x 22 x 9 mm. When opened, the total length is 94 mm. It weighs only 34 grams. NEXTOOL adopts a "Modular Steel" approach. By utilizing 5Cr15MoV (54–56 HRC) for the scissors and screwdrivers, high toughness and easy sharpenability are ensured. The handles made from 420J1 have undergone a plasma polishing process, a treatment typically reserved for high-end electronics. This makes them more resistant to fingerprints and more durable.

Thanks to its compact size, it fits on any keychain, in any EDC bag, or pocket. 

The main tool and feature of the S0 by NEXTOOL is the patented NEX-SCISSORS 2.0. To ensure that the angled blades glide effortlessly through materials, they are roll-polished. This minimizes friction.

The serrated and curved blade provides excellent grip on smooth or flexible surfaces. This prevents slipping, allowing for clean, controlled cuts as well as concentration of cutting force for maximum efficiency. This results in smooth and effortless cutting of dense and heavy materials, achieving high efficiency.

We tested the NEXTOOL S0 on various materials to verify its cutting power and capability. This included testing on Cordura straps, paracord, rubber hoses, paper, cardboard, and cable ties.

The micro-tool is also equipped with tweezers, a flat screwdriver, a bottle opener, a Phillips screwdriver with an integrated file, and a screwdriver for eyeglass screws. 

The NEXTOOL S0 is extremely travel-friendly due to its lack of a blade and can be taken anywhere.

CONCLUSION

The NEXTOOL S0 (Mini Sailor Scissors) is the ideal tool for anyone looking for a lightweight, powerful multitool focused on scissor functions for use in the city, traveling, or light tasks. It offers top performance at an affordable price, making it a strong contender for the title of best new micro-multitool.
