Are cheap Amazon multi-tools like the 'camping axe' hybrids any good?

Reviewer consensus

Mainstream tech press and verified-purchase reviewers point out they look impressive in photos and rack up high star averages, but specialist multitool subreddits routinely warn about soft steel, loose tolerances, and a hammer-axe-pliers form factor that's heavier and less useful than a dedicated hatchet plus folding saw. They can work as gift novelties or glovebox tools, but enthusiasts don't trust them for serious backcountry use.
