I'm looking for the MiniDriver to be available at a shop nearby. I recently got the StylusPen. Just love it! No more smudges on my phone and the pen really comes in handy.

Fixrs are available now, I ordered one on eBay and it will likely be here today. I will try to take a few pics to share.

Care to share why you didn't buy one?
It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.

It was $15...not too much, but I don't see myself using it.

Well I'm wowed by the original design but there seems to some ambiguity about whether the wrench sizes are metric or imperial.   Kampfer's pic shows imperial markings (but a metric information sheet  :think:).  This UK site shows metric markings.

http://www.alloutdoor.co.uk/knives-multi-tools/true-utility/true-utility-fixr-20-in-1-multitool-.htm

For me 6mm is a moderately useful wrench size but its not 1/4" and that would be a show stopper.   Of course I could open up 6mm to 1/4" but I think I'll wait to see what develops.

IMO an OPT without 1/4" hex is a fail :ahhh

Man, the FIXR seems REALLY cool.  I've been looking for a better carabiner (that's how I carry my car/house keys) and that's so new and fresh I might have to order one.  VERY cool.

I can vouch for the pen and from the looks of the other items, think I would enjoy those as well. I love keyring utilities :D

I'm looking at the Scout knife.  My old Colonial has seen much better days and is falling apart (it had already been well used when it was given to me, and I used it heavily for years).  I've always loved the basic scout knife style, and adding the throwaway box-cutter blade is great as I don't have to worry about the things that almost always destroy blades on my knives.  Much more useful than the pen blades on SAKs! 

Where would I get one in the US?

Cody: In short, don't. I think it was Kirk or another member that got it pulled from sale at Heinnies. It has bad manufacturing shortfalls that makes it dangerous to use.

Finally found the thread I was thinking about:  http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,43337.msg696704.html

FWIW, SMKW may have it, but buyer beware. :/
