Screwpop 4 in 1 Tool
« on: February 09, 2010, 07:05:45 pm »
Some time ago, Gadget Guy started a thread about these.  You can see the thread here:

http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,16359.0.html

Last week, the owner of the Screwpop tool called me and asked if I'd review it.  Being a multitool junki.... uh I mean being the owner of a responsible multitool website interested in providing as many facts to as many people as possible.  I haven't had a chance to put it through it's paces yet, but I do have some initial thoughts (and also some pictures!) to share!



The four functions of the Screwpop, as listed on the instruction sheet (and yes, it comes with instructions!) are:

    Bottle Opener
    1/4" nut driver
    Phillips screwdriver
    Flathead screwdriver



As you can see, it's made in China, but as it's a very simple tool there shouldn't be any worries about quality control, as it's pretty hard to mess up one piece!



The bottle opener works exceptionally well, as it's pretty well a standard bottle opener, rather than a fold away component that needs to save space for other tools. 

The screwdriver bits are well formed and use a ball bearing to stay in the driver, and seems pretty secure.

I'll give more details and thoughts on it when I have them.

It looks like it could be used while still on a keychain- the opening is certainly big enough.  I'll try it out later.

Cutlerylover has a review (well he shows it and said to do review later) on youtube.
Sorry no link :(

For those who dont know him, he's a very nice guy doing a bunch of knife, zippo, gear and lately gun related stuff.
