What is scoring point

I don't know what that is but I want it.

TheAverageJoe · **Reply #2 on:** September 11, 2014, 11:11:26 AM

at a guess to score a line or open boxes. they look good but not sure if I want them

I'll have to check my local Hess station again to see if they have these in stock. They have the regular DoohicKey for $3.00 and they restocked on them, so I think it's a permanent display.

I'll report my findings when I stop by there later in the day.

The pictures don't give me much confidence in the product. I will stick to my Utili-Key

I'll stick to my teeth. They do all that and I got 19 of them!

I don't like how those look but may rip the idea and make something similar.

ducttapetech · **Reply #8 on:** September 11, 2014, 02:35:14 PM

I kinda like them. Nothing fancy. Just does a couple of jobs and that's about it.

Kinda cool looking. I like that they're shaped like keys and will blend in with a keychain.

JAfromMn · **Reply #10 on:** September 13, 2014, 08:25:17 PM

Nifty. I'm going to have to pick one if I see the skull kind.

I wish they had a 1/4 bit holder.

Thanks for posting them Kampfer

Kampfer · **Reply #11 on:** September 14, 2014, 09:36:17 AM

I am going get one of them, but I have inspect both of them in person to decide

Uh...oh...copyright lawsuit anyone?

It would be interesting to know who copied who, though

Both companies use even the same product name

Revilo951 · **Reply #16 on:** December 02, 2014, 10:55:40 AM

That's what I'm wondering. Curiouser and curiouser...

Someone with the tech knowledge can probably see where it surfaced on the net first.

I have the indegogo version. It is a lot sharper now than when it arrived (but not so sharp as to damage the integrity of my pockets

)

The bottle opener is a bit useless - the lower point is too large to fit under the points on a cap properly. The file is also drastically underwhelming.

We are so sorry for the delay, no resellers have received any keys however we did license the Quickey to Niteize who with their expertise in tooling have already produced their own.

Kampfer · **Reply #18 on:** December 02, 2014, 06:14:21 PM

so they sold the design to Nite Ize?

Revilo951 · **Reply #19 on:** December 02, 2014, 08:52:27 PM

Or at least licensed them to produce it.

Mystery solved!

LOL...

Well no surprise there. Niteize does that all the time, buy out or more often licenses designs and sells them under their name. They have a big marketing team and lots of distributors and are a blessing for any small maker who wantd to get his stuff out there.Lots of examples of it.

For instance one of our own members, Bob from Pockits had them sell holsters/sheaths for him. All of the sheaths they sell are his.

And the one I regret the most was the eClipse. Those were excellent aftermarket clips. Then the maker and nitrize parted ways and they no longer sold them. They started selling a new version of it this year but as I hear it's much inferior to the original.

That's interesting, that means the 2 versions might be different. I think the scoring point is difficult to get the right mix of sharpness and pocket-friendliness. I thought NI bought from them and just packaged it.
