Out of the three in that series (Blast, Fuse and Kick) the Blast is my favorite! The Kick is nice, but a lot of space for not too many tools, the Fuse is ok, but the middle one in a series is never as good as the start and finish (watch The Two Towers again if you don't believe me!) and the Blast is both light and well equipped!

The Blast is a great tool

For some reason or another it's one LM I don't care to beat on

It's held up really well though

Great tool selection and great quality for the price

Good grab Sean

The Blast is a great tool.

By the way, what sheath did you get, nylon or cardboardian leather?

Thanks guys. Yes I was lucky enough and was awarded "cardboardian leather" $:-\$

It's new so will see how it works out but I really like it so far. It's light and it has a really nice array of tools.
It's tight and locks up solid. I really like the "Chunky" look and size of it as well.

I'll just have to go hunting for an Original Leather Sheath or perhaps something made of Nylon to house it.
It deserves better!

I like the Blast , it has alot of tools packed in it . The only thing I don't like is the mini bit holder , It doesn't fit the screws on my glasses like the little Vic one does .

Can you buy packs of those tiny flat&phillips screwdriver?

Yup I just got a Blast as well and I really like it. It has all the components that I think of as being "Multitool standards" it what is still a reasonably compact unit.

I'm sure thet are available serparately. I think eleatherman sells them like that.

Thanks, I found them in a kit with other LM bits (good price) but not solo. I shall carry on hunting

Unfortunately LM doesn't offer the small bits on their own. This bit set is the cheapest way to get them.

Fair enough

How much to post a couple of sets to the UK?

Rob · « **Reply #12 on:** January 31, 2009, 05:16:52 PM »

Normally it would be high since we ship everything Priority Mail International but for just these bits I should be able to drop them in an envelope and mail them regular parcel post. I'll need to weigh them when I get to the store on Monday but I'd guess it should be around $5 or so for shipping.

Fantastic

Could I trouble you to PM me once you're sure of a price and we'll sort out payment.

Thanks

Neil

The head on those are too obtuse and thick, must be 40°. Doesn't fit my glasses either so almost useless. I wonder if I were to sharpen them would they work.
