• Ergonomics: The small size leads to "hot spots" (pressure points) in the hand during heavy use; it is not suitable for tightening large nuts or bolts.
• Torque Limitation: The spring-loaded mechanism cannot withstand heavy lateral force. Applying too much force to the pliers will cause the internal button lock to fail.
• False Sense of Security: Many consumers mistake the "Switch" for a defensive tool. The blade (if present) is usually less than 1.5 inches and lacks a locking mechanism, making it useless for self-defense and illegal in certain jurisdictions (e.g., UK, Germany) where locking blades are prohibited.

1. "I want to make my controller work." -> You do not need encryption keys. You just need the SAK app and the correct firmware file for your controller.
2. "I want to manage game files." -> You need prod.keys dumped from your own Switch.
3. "I want to change button functions." -> You need to use the Remapping features within the SAK app interface.

• Need to remove hot-swap switches quickly: use a switch puller.
• Want to lube or mod internals: use a switch opener.
• Compare switches before buying: use a switch tester.
• Portable, emergency swaps: multifunction keychain tools are fine but limited.
