I like the look of that!
And the way you can hang it from a belt hoop is brilliant!

I kinda like it. Odd place for the keyring attach point, being that close to the pry tip n all.

Right that is a bad place key ring attachment
Better it is a 1/4" hex bit holder

I like the look of it but as many have already stated, its intended use as a pry bar or flat head screwdriver is limited (not to say challenging) as long it's attached to the key chain.

Quick release biner would help here but then again it defeats the whole idea of keeping your keyring light-and-simple.
EDC and OCD. A wicked mix.

I'd swear I saw a Chinese nock off of that one 2 days ago on Fleabay....CRKT still says coming soon. Cant even get to market before being ripped off any more :rant:

It's hard to knock it at $10.

But I'll try ;) The "keyring attachment" circle should be a dedicated 1/4" wrench. That would make using it in conjunction with 1/4" bits a lot easier.

I do like the size of it, though. Too many of these one-piece tools try to be key-sized at around 2.5". This one coming in at close to 4" puts it in a different class of ability, up there with the Piranha and Pocketwrench II.
