This review is from: Columbia River Knife And Tool’s Eat N Tool 9100Kc Black Oxide Multi Tool (Tools & Home Improvement)
Tell me if this sounds familiar: You’re out in the woods with a can of pork and beans and a cold one. The can has one of those easy-open lids so you don’t need a can opener, but you sure need a spoon to eat them and a bottle opener to get a sip of that cold one. Also, you have a small array of metric bolts and standard-drive screws that you need to tighten. Until now, there was no single tool that could accomplish all these tasks. This, my friends, is a spork with torque.

This review is from: Columbia River Knife And Tool’s Eat N Tool 9100Kc Black Oxide Multi Tool (Tools & Home Improvement)
I bought one of these mainly because it looked cool and instead actually found it to be pretty valuable. First of all, the EatN Tool feels like a solid piece of metal. I had half expected this to be a flimsy and cheaply made. It definitely doesn’t feel like a sub-$10 piece of hardware.
The wrench part of the EatN Tool confuses me. In all honesty, I don’t know when this would come in handy. I’d rather it come with Phillips Screwdriver or something else. The screwdriver and bottle opener are the best tools on this. The spork itself is pretty cool and works well for a quick eating utensil. The carabiner is pretty small and will clip onto a bag.
Overall for $6.50, it’s a pretty neat camping accessory. I subtracted a star because of the relative uselessness of the wrenches and that I received a defective EatNTool.

As other have stated it’s pretty useless as spoon for thin soup and the fork tines are short and very blunt. It can be challenging to use sometimes but it’s better than nothing. I bought this to use while backpacking but found that my Snowpeak titanium spork is far better in almost every way. The spoon part is much deeper, the fork tines are longer and it’s much lighter. A longer handle is also nice. How am I supposed to get at the bottom of a jar of peanut butter with this thing? I also rarely need a wrench or bottle opener while hiking. Maybe i’m not their target audience. Overall though, it’s a decent piece and it’s pretty cheap. I’ll stick with the Snowpeak spork for backpacking and keep this around to replace plastic forks at parties and barbecues.
