Well everyone, I have received my tool from Jürgen and I am going to put it into testing and see what I can this tool can do, or rather what jams it can get me out of. I will be writing a review for our site in case anyone is wondering. I do notice some things off the bat, first I didn't realize how small this tool was. I opened up the package and I shocked by it's size, it's along the same size as say an Atwood Gasbaby but much lighter and thinner. I see a potential problem with the design but only time will tell if it's just me or not. The edge or blade of the tool is on the same end of the tool as the pry end/driver. You would think it could be on the opposite end so you would not have to remove the tool from the sheath to use the pry end or wrench. Removing it from the kydex causes some risk issues and you really have to be aware of what your doing. With the Jared Price Toucan http://www.multitool.org/one-piece-tools/one-piece-tools/jared-price-toucan.html you have the dangerous end so to speak in the kydex so you don't get cut. Grant had some initial hesitation about the design cause he thought it would be real bad if the tool became dislodged from the kydex when prying. The wrench works beautifully, it's different that what Peter uses but works just the same. So far the one thing I keep thinking is, man I wish this thing could be super sized and make it as big as a Piranha or WingNut. Anyways on with the photos.....

It's much smaller than I thought.

It is small, but still: What a great little tool! I just love the design!

this is just what i've been looking for, for my keyring. I keep losing the little pound shaped things you get free from charities. Is there one for UK pound trolleys?

love the idea of it and how small it is,

amazing design Jürgen, congrats!!

Sizes of coins

50 Cent (Euro)

Diameter: 24,25 mm
Thickmess 2,38 mm

1 Euro
Diameter 23,25 mm
Thickness: 2,33 mm

both coins fit the standard locks, some even take the 2 Euro coin

US Quarter:
Diameter   24.26 mm  (0.955 in)
Thickness   1.75 mm  (0.069 in)

Diameter is quite similar to 50 Cent, maybe they will fit, depends on lock tolerances...

UK Pound is:
Diameter    22.5 mm
Thickness    3.15 mm

Thats quite a change in thickness but I wouldnt be surprised if all of those coins fit in the same machines to save in production costs.

I was going to pick one up just to try, but 65EUR is a lot of money! I would probably also need the 10EUR sheath so I dont cut myself when using my keys...

If they are still available around christmas time I might treat myself.
