Super compact, safe, and reliable!
I have one of these on each of my keychains now; personal, business, and forklift. It’s so great to have it always available and not have to carry around (and forget) a bulky traditional box cutter. Folding box cutters are still very bulky and the blades fall out all the time. But this one is super compact and holds the blade very securely. I’ve never had it fall out on me. I haven’t used the rest of the tools on it, but having the standard sized cutting blade on a tool that is safe and easy to hold while using makes it well worth it already.

Very Basic Design, pretty simple
Grip: 2/5The Yeeyou is a very hard and thin piece of metal at its most basic design. While this does help it keep a low profile and minimize some of the weight it also mean that there are quite a few potential hot spots. The top of the spine at the rear digs into your palm pretty significantly. At the bottom of the back end you have a very pointy Philips driver that also does a great job of jabbing your finger or hand depending on how exactly you are holding it. I also really wish that they would have included gimping on the spine so that your thumb has a more secure gripping point. To end on a positive note, the bottom of the handle does have gimping so at least that helps a little bit.Carrying ability: 4/5I feel incredibly repetitive here but like most EDC utility knives the Yeeyou can easily slip into a pocket and almost be forgotten. If that is not your style then you can always hook it onto a key ring using the ridiculously large hex wrench at the rear of the body although be prepared for it to jangle quite a bit. I say ridiculously large because it certainly won't support a standard hex bit and they don't specify what size it is. Plus there is only one so I hope that will be the perfect fit. This knife also comes with a faux leather carrying case which is a nice touch but for me just is unnecessary.One-handed opening and closing: 4/5I was actually surprised at how easy it was to operate the Yeeyou one handed. When looking at it it seems like somewhat of a nightmare, but after some practice it becomes much easier. In order to open the blade I lift the lever at the front with my index finger and then use my thumb to slide the blade into place with the gap in the middle of the body. Sometimes it does prove a bit difficult to get enough room and traction for your thumb, but this is most difficult with new blades that still have oil coating them as they are obviously slick. The spring that holds the lever can also be a bit stiff sometimes but this is a less frequent problem. In order to close the blade, I pull the lever back using my thumb and index finger and point the body upwards. This allows the blade to gently fall back into the body. I will also note that this knife is truly ambidextrous so that is going to be a nice added bonus for some people.Blade changing ease: 5/5It is pretty easy to change the blade, I tend to lift the lever using my thumb and index finger like when closing the blade but then pulling the blade out with the other hand. Then you just reverse the process. You can start the process with one hand but at a certain point you will need to utilize your other hand to complete the change.Blade Security: 1/5The frame does not create a whole lot of tension on the blade, which helps when you open and close it, but this allows the blade to rattle quite a bit both when extended and closed.Lock Security: 2.5/5The lock is held in place with a spring that slides the bar into one of the slots on the blade. I have not have any problems so far but I can see just the right amount of pressure hitting the blade at a certain angle and the lock failing. As I said, his has not been a problem but I can see the lever sliding back up the blade slot and it collapsing back in on itself.Affordability: 4.5/5At approximately $12 the Yeeyou is pretty affordable. You can find pretty similar items around that price point so it is appropriate in my opinion. The bonus on this end is that for that price you get the knife, a carrying case, and a case of extra blades.Highlights:Overall, what you get is pretty much it. They tired to pack a bunch of extra tools into the frame like a driver, window breaker, bottle opener, and hex wrench, but none of them perform outstanding and are just kind of there. As I mentioned earlier it is nice that it comes with a few extra blades and the carrying case, even if you carry it another way. There really isn't much else to say.Overall: 3.3/5

Great for EDC
Quality is A+. Good strong build quality. Doesn’t feel cheap or flimsy. Small and light enough to carry anything and good for small tasks.

Simple but effective multitool
I really like the design of this multi tool. I like the idea of having disposable razor blades instead of a permanent knife. If it gets dull, you simply change out blades rather than sharpen the knife. I haven't really gotten to test all the tools, but I can say that the bottle opener and screwdriver tools on it work well. It's not super ergonomic, but it's still pretty good considering how small it is.The reason I give it a 4 instead of 5 is because the spring mechanism that holds the blade in place is a little difficult to operate due to the play in the mechanism. Extending and retracting the blade can't really be done with one hand, and it is more difficult than a standard folding knife. I can't fault it too much for its price point, however.Overall, I would recommend this as an every day carry as it is very small, functional, and seemingly very sturdy. The price is good too.

Easy to be carried
Sometimes I only need a small but powerful knife in hand. No need as big as the Swiss Army Knife since the only action I need is cut. That is the reason I buy this one. It has trick to open it. Use your left index finger and thumb to push the button on the knife and use your right hand to pull the blade. There are five other replace blades available which is nice.

It will work but you can find better for the same price or cheaper.
It will work if you want something cheap that will work but it doesn’t have a magnet inside so everything rattles very badly and it doesn’t feel super solid. I bought the black one and part of the finish was messed up straight out the box and the isn’t very comfortable because the glass breaking goes in the palm of your hand when holding it.

Can't get it to open
Got as far as step 1, right hand moves the stop to the side. Mine won't move far enough to release the blade. Defective manufacture perhaps as all reviews I've read are positive. Can't work with this, returning it. Like the Gerber EAB better for pocket use; the Outdoor Edge Slide model has too many pointy bits for pocket.

Meets all my needs.
I bought this looking for a slim easy to carry pocket multi tool. It serves that purpose for me very well. the bottle opener works great. the screwdriver works very nice. I love being able to replace the blades for super cheap. I would have no problem giving this a 5 star if it had a flat head screwdriver in place of the glass breaker. In my opinion having both phillips and flat head together on this tool would make it the perfect EDC option.
