Multitool Horizon MT07 by KLARUS LIGHTING

A multitool, also known as a multi-functional tool, is a compact tool that combines various functions such as pliers, knives, screwdrivers, and saws in a single construction. It can replace a small toolbox when mobility, quick access to basic functions, and space-saving are important. It is versatile, for example, when camping, traveling, working in the field, and in everyday life – from minor repairs to emergency situations. The professional multifunctional tool Horizon MT07 by KLARUS is a robust 20-in-1 multitool with strong performance at a competitive price. Let’s take a closer look at it. 

Technical Details and Materials

The multitool Horizon MT07 has dimensions of 106 x 39 x 22 mm when closed. 

When opened, the length is 160 mm. The weight of our model is 282 grams.

Depending on the component, the edges of the Horizon MT07 multitool are either precisely CNC-ground and burr-free or intentionally rounded. This ensures both safety and maximum functionality. The grip sections feature a topographical laser engraving.

The pliers head is made of 30Cr13 stainless steel and has a hardness of HRC 52±2. It is equipped with replaceable K40 tungsten wire cutters. 30Cr13 stainless steel (also known as 3Cr13 or comparable to the European material X30Cr13/1.4028 or AISI 420) is a martensitic chromium steel with a medium carbon content. It is characterized by a good balance of hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance.

The blades and scissors of the Horizon MT07 are made of 50Cr15MoV steel (blade hardness approx. 56 HRC). 5Cr15MoV steel is a solid, lower mid-range stainless steel that is easy to maintain and sharpen. The corrosion resistance is very good (approx. 15% chromium content), and it hardly rusts. The steel is excellent and can be sharpened quickly and easily. Edge retention is weak to moderate (55–56 HRC). The blade loses sharpness more quickly than more expensive premium steels. Toughness is good. The blade does not break easily and tolerates harder use.

Main Tools and Functions

Most multitools are based on a similar construction, although there are differences in the number and type of functions. The central element is the pliers (grippers), around which the other tools are arranged in the handles. 

The pliers feature a spring-loaded needle-nose pliers, regular pliers, and replaceable hard/soft wire cutters. The integrated spring mechanism ensures a smooth, automatic return, allowing for particularly effortless work.

Main Blade and Scissors 

Compared to some competitors, the scissors on the Horizon MT07 are significantly larger.

The 750 mm long shaffus blade can be opened with one hand through the oval thumb hole and locked in place using the liner lock system.

With the Horizon MT07, it is pleasant that both tools can be operated with one hand and are secured by independent liner locks. The liner lock mechanism keeps the tools firmly in position during use and prevents unintentional folding and injuries. North of the Alps, this will cause gasping.

Additional Tools 

Here is an overview of all tools of the Horizon MT07.

Package opener/hook blade, bottle opener, and awl. 

Cross screwdriver (Phillips), can and bottle opener, pry tool, wire stripper.

File with ruler (cm/inch) on the back.

The integrated wood saw of the Horizon MT07 measures 75 mm. The saw blade features a compact yet robust design with staggered, aggressive teeth.

Both handle pieces are equipped internally with a ruler that can be measured in both centimeters and inches.

A glass breaker rounds out the equipment of the Horizon MT07, making it a safety hammer as well.

Double Lock System = double safety

The double locking system ensures that all tools are safely secured and ready for use. The main blade and scissors are secured with a liner-lock mechanism, while the internal tools, such as the can opener and screwdriver, feature a reliable back lock.

All tools lock securely when opened and can be unlocked with the push of a button, providing absolute stability and safety in any situation.

Anti Shift Locking Mechanism

A locking system integrated into the inner base of the handles effectively limits lateral movements.

This prevents wobbling and loss of force when using tools such as saws or blades, ensuring greater safety, stability, and control.

Carrying Options

With the carrying clip, the Horizon MT07 can be securely carried in pockets or MOLLE loops.

The clip can be removed and reattached to the Horizon MT07 at any time as needed. To remove it, press the lockback button and push the clip to the side. Installation is done in the reverse order.

Alternatively, the multitool can be stored in the included transport pouch. According to KLARUS LIGHTING, the pouch holds space for two 18650 batteries.

The belt loop on the back allows the multitool to be attached to a belt.
