This is a tool that seems ever-popular, and for good reason IMO. It took me ages to get one, and then in a short space of time I got 2 as part of trades with other forum members here. I didn't realise until the second one arrived though, that there were two different versions, namely the Stainless Steel that crops up most often, and a Chrome Vanadium version, which I've hardly ever seen reference to. Neither of these tools see much use since I got hold of an Atwood about a year ago, although I'm putting together a Pocket Organiser for my work bag at the moment, and I think one of these is going in there, as it's a shame to keep them in a drawer. These pics aren't the best as I can't do much with lighting at the moment, but hopefully you can see the different finishes:     So, let's spread a little love for the "poor man's Atwood"  |

From John / GG/ UnSub. It was a surprise in a trade we did a while back.
Cool isn't it?

Never knew that. If I had a choice I'd take CrV over 420 anytime but this is the first time I've ever seen it.

Weight is virtually identical:
Stainles: 49.6g
CrV: 48.9g
... so too small to notice.

I just ran to check my Pocket Wrench (bought from Lee Valley) and it's stainless steel as well.  |

Lord knows where the other one can be found - that's the only supplier I've tracked down so far.

I'm looking to buy one for a long time now,and I sent email to Lee Valley;
They are willing to sent one to Serbia,but the postage is about $40-for a thing that costs $ 10.95 that's too much

I had one but traded it away after getting an Atwood. Nice tools, but never got used since the Atwood arrived.
