That is a very generous offer I am sure many of the other MTO members would jump on  :)

I feel for a first foray into one piece tools, it is better I go for a more budget tool, to see if I will end up carrying one long term before going for the more expensive models.

As it is, the pocket wrench has the two tools on it I am after, and seems to have good reviews, so if I can get my hand on one, wouild probably do me perfectly for the price. I have sent them an email asking how much postage to the UK is.

contacted the website for pocketwrench, since it doesnt allow you to order from overseas although they do sell overseas.

They got their website fixed after I sent them an email, pretty good response time as well, and I have placed an order for 3, for me, my brother, and father.

Seems like the perfect one piece tool if all you want is a prybar and wrench. Very reasonably priced as well, and from the reviews I have read, good build quality. Looking forward to getting it and putting it to use.

Just one warning:  The Pocketwrench has teeth that bite into the nut to turn it rather than interference fit on the faces (like an Atwood).  That means if you use it on a chromed finish nut, you WILL end up with a marred nut.

Other than that, I think they're great!

Arrived today.

Very impressed on first impression, thicker than I expected, and solidly built; I won't be scared putting it to use. Given its rounded ends and comfortable heft, very pleasant to hold.

As far as the atwoods go, I would really try to grab one if you can. It may take a while before you get a chance to purchase, but they are generally very nice.

One other thought:

I have a spare Element 115 (Atwood tool).  If that is of interest, maybe you have something worth trading for it...


I'd take your hand off for that Element, though I am in Australia.. I understand if that's too much hassle
