I am pretty impressed. It seems to be a light weight tool and relatively small. Dean are you looking to get one and have you seen it in person?
Not bad for [glow=red,2,300]$50[/glow] in my opinion. What do others think?

What do others think? You can check mine out, it should be in next week, I think I can drop a few tools out of my coat in favor of this one. I will still keep the multi-screwdriver and the shove knife though. |

OK, just a quick update, this tool is larger than I expected. It fits in my coat pocket, but just barely. Also, the window breaker spike thing that hangs off the one end is a great idea, but kinda sharp and pointy, I am gonna try to find a small piece of tubing I can cover it with.
It is also pretty heavy, but it looks and feels a lot more solid than those silly folding spanners that do nothing but break when you use them.
When compared to the 8" cable cutters that I was carrying, these are much more useful albeit heavier and more bulky.

dean, one suggestion for the tubing would be windshield washer tubing. its small enough to cover it and itsreally cheap so it it falls off somewhere or gets messed upits no big deal. you can get it at any auto part store...

That looks like a good tool. That could take a few tools outta some peoples pockets.

It was free and there is enough left for me to make them time and time again. Now I can pull it off and not have to try to keep track of it. |
