Are Atwoods patented?
Yes, the original Prybaby does indeed have a patent.  |

I believe Dave Bowen has one on the way- or is trying to get one. Def I got this in the mail today! So far, impressions are good. I really like the size of it, it feels a lot bigger than most other pocket tools. To me a lot of what is already out there is more "key chain" size and not so big that you need a pocket to carry them in. This thing is almost 4 inches long and fits your pocket quite nicely. My favorite thing so far is the super wide pry surface/scraper, I can see this being used a lot. The two gripes I have so far: The driver bit can be a PITA to remove/replace but I might get used to it and the wrenches are the same size on both ends (one open and one boxed). Any questions?        |

I have one of the first-run S30V SAE versions on it's way to my house, just to see what it's like. If I don't like it, well, someone else can give it a good home.  |

Same......but different.  Seriously though, you can tell there is Atwood inspiration in this tool but there is enough difference to tell it's from someone other than Peter. MK7 admits that they have inspiration from tool makers such as Peter and they don't deny it, I think it's great that someone has taken the next step above Gerber and have made a high quality production pocket tool that anyone could buy without fear of them being out of production, selling out too quickly or having them jacked up in price by folks on EBay. |

I like that it's a nice big tool. Big enough to really do some work.
I wonder how it would fit in the back (or front if nylon) pocket of a Surge or Charge sheath? It seems like it would make a good partner to a pliers base multi.

Condisering that would mean a duplication of drivers, an Atwood FunnyBone may be a better option. |

Looks like they have a four week backorder. So much for being easy to get.  |

Originally I had little to no interest about this tool, but with everyone going back and forth on them they are starting to pique my curiosity. Of course I'm not going to wait in line for one. If/when they become readily available I'll consider getting one, or if anyone here wants rid of theirs I'll look at it. I don't like paying for something I may see in 4-6 weeks.
