The problem I have with this tool is the redundancy of having a bit driver, and then having multiple flatheads.And then having 2 knife blades, and the scraper thingy.
I wondered about the idea of having two flat and a bit driver as well. However I think they are actually being pretty smart about this. Look at it this way; you could have two flats and a dedicated Phillips and no-one would say anything about it, or you could have just a bit driver BUT also have to carry around a load of bits as well as the MT (or even make the MT bigger so as to have some bits on-board). The way they have gone about this means that you still have two flats, a Phillips and the option of using/carrying just about any bit on the planet that suits you.personally I'm OK with the way they went on this.
If they dropped some of the redundant flatheads there is plenty of room for scissors and a file. Just sayin... I REALLY want to make some hex bit holders to put on my SAK mods, but Im not sure what manufacturing method for small runs I can use to make some. Bob you're the machinist, do I need to do plunge EDM to cut a hex shaped hole in some stainless rod to make a bit holder?

[...]Love the bit driver, although it does also mean that I'd need to carry something else (bit sets) to get the most benefit from the tool[...]
Well, that was a conversation killer wasn't it .....
