As promised i'm starting a pass-around for the recently created MT.O Prybar tool along with my own Prybar design. Both tools were 3D printed by shapeways in stainless steel.

Interested? Well if you are then please sign up and you'll hopefully get a chance to put these tools through their paces.
A few rules (original text stolen fron Zack, sorry)
1) Open to ALL members, however if you are new (under 20 posts) then please introduce yourself.
2) No torture testing, and definitely no hammers. However if either tool does break or fail then pictures and an explanation of what happened would be appreciated.
3) Shipping needs to have delivery confirmation (can be first class or priority).
4a) Hopefully these tools will be going all over the world, so people need to be comfortable about potentially having to post them abroad.
4b) To simlify things i plan to group people in each country together as this should reduce shipping costs. We'll start with the UK then see how it plays out. I've decided on an almost fair way of organising it.
5) I would, believe it or not, like these tools back at the end of all this so if your last on the list do please keep that in mind.
So after all that if you are still interested please COPY AND PASTE ALL PREVIOUS NAMES AND INFO along with your own name and country into your post.
I'll close this after 2 weeks...ish, and we'll go from there.

I've just posted the tools off so hopefully Sparky should receive them before christmas (no leaving the parcel under the tree).
I don't really know what a sensible length of test duration is, one week? maybe 2? I suppose it's rather out of my hands in any case.
Right more rules:
1. I want piccies of it in interesting places........erm...... with scenery and being used and stuff like that.
2. I sent the tools out in an old tobacco tin which i tarted up on the inside, what i want you all to do is tart it up on the outside with some stickers. They don't have to be relevant to the area, though that would be nice, just anything to show that it's been around and about (if you really can't find anything, grab an airmail sticker from the post office when you send it on.
Happy travels old beat-up tin.

Brilliant Tofty,thanks for doing this mate :salute:

I Missed this one :( :(.
Keen to see the results & thoughts guys :pok: :pok:
-
Sparky's had them for a couple of days now, he said he'd take some photos yesterday but since he's staying quiet i reckon he's broken them. Now that would be funny.
-
Nag nag nag….. ::)
I was waiting until I had a better picture but….
(http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n184/sparky_415/stuff/04122012014.jpg)
They are very :drool:
-
Whoaa !! I can't wait :drool:
-
Just to touch base,the tools are in my sweaty hands,and going through road testing.I post pix and observations later!
-
me next ? :D
leave some for me to play with :pok:
-
To begin with,the photos wil be posted later,as photobucket is causing hassles with my browser!
Any opinions offered here are covered by the Harry Callahan clause:Opinions are like a**eholes,everbody has one!Although Tofty has already read what I'm about to say here!
The MTo tool has already seen a few days carry at work.If you read any of my other postings on the forum,you'll know I seldom have to put tools to hard work.Most often I need philips drivers or scissors.
As you'll see in the pix,I have a small Widgy prybar on my work keys,but its more of a key ring than a working tool.In fact you might say its pocket jewelery.This far I've had no cause to pry anything with it.
The Mto prybar has been the same.I've had no cause to test its ability to pry.However,I did make a point of trying the bit driver function.I've been sceptical of the ability of an O ring to hold a bit in place whilst being in use.I tried it out on one of mu my regular little tasks,of removing DieCast Scale Replicas(ok flash toy cars)from thier boxes,and whilst it wasnt as good as a MT/SAK driver,or a dedicated screw driver,it was a viable option.I havnt had the chance to try the bottle opener,but I've no doubt its up for the job.Key rig crry is dead on.
In terms of appearance,theres not much to add to what everyones pix have shown,except to say its much better in the flesh!
I dont think theres any improvements I could really suggest,its pretty much on the money right out of the box.
The Tofty tool feels more substancal.I really like the bit driver being in the back if the tool,making the undoing of screws(phew that was fool of pratt falls) much easier,the movement much more positive.The trade-off is loosing an easy keyring attachment point.Other than that,its all good!
A very big well done to Tofty,both tools could have easily come from a mainstream company,thers nothing to give away thier 'garden shed' origins!

I like the idea of using a snap link or something like that in the bit driver to keep it on a key ring :think: I was thinking that if you used a split ring, it could be a bit of a pain to take it on & off for use :think:
*edit- Nice pics John :tu:

Cheers Tel!It was a good excuse to ty the camera on my ipad :whistle:

Thanks for the write-up kirk13.
Not really anything i can think to add other than i absolutely agree about using a gate clip rather than a split ring to secure the tools to a keychain, a quick release is vital.
Nice pics too.

but a HUGE thanks to Tofty for letting me play :cheers:

Great news, thanks for keeping things rolling Taxi Dad.

Tofty i got a 'car sticker' from my local tourist information center (i didn't know we had tourists in this area TBH :o god knows why anyone would want to come here !)
BUT it was way to big to go on the tin, so i trimmed it down. only to find it was meant to be stuck on a car 'window' (ie not sticky) so i had to use sellotape :facepalm: (I did my best)
-
I also dropped the sticker ball :-[
-
@dks:This gonna sound odd.My sticker(on the tin)is from my work place,a rather famous London shop.I'd be obliged if it didn't get photographed(don't ask...some smurf heads at worked name checked our work place on FB,and all smurf broke loose)

I don't get the big deal about this famous London shop :think: I asked a British friend which one it was and she told me. I won't mention the name or anything but just don't get it John, why can't we mention it?
-
we Brits are a funny bunch :D
-
TaxiDad said it well!
There's been all kinds of smurf about staff mentioning it on public domain websites.Given my reputation in helping people with disciplinary issues,and my general lack of tolerance for management bull smurf ,it's just easier to pretend I work for Volde...I mean the shop whose name cannot be mentioned :facepalm:

That's understandable.
-
I'm confused.......but anyway thankyou to all of you who have taken the time to decorate the tin in your own way, i had thought it might have been a bit of a silly request
Can't wait to see them all when it gets back as it should look like a mini adventurers suitcase.
Spanky as it was your tin to begin with you are forgiven the lack of stickeriphication.

Thanks, I did add a DIY plastic case but it might not have survived, I almost added a Christmas sticker…. But didn’t :-[
-
Spanky ( :rofl:) the DIY plastic case was very cool and in fine condition when it reached me, hope it makes it to Cyprus .
I think i know how it was done, but a well placed tutorial might interest people sir :salute:

It was just something I threw in as I didn't have any stickers and thought it would help the top to stay on :tu:
I will try to make another one and see if I can get a picture or two :cheers:
-
Yeah sorry about that SpaRky, i could have re-read that post a hundred times and not noticed the mistake.
Is this cover made in a similar way to your knife sheaths? They were pretty cool, i look forward to seeing this addition also.
-
Where are the pics? :pok:

Tofty,
Was just a little something I had been playing with, looked a bit like this…

I like it, i didn't know milk cartons could be reshaped like that.
Sparky can always be trusted to come up with the simplest and most practical solution.
Well it appears multitools are just for christmas, sorry about that.
-
Simple is my middle name :whistle:
Not a milk carton…. I will go and have a play in a min as its pissing down here ::)

In Cyprus :D :D

The bit hole on the end of the MTO provides good leverage for a screwdriver bit (nice long tool with a comfortable end for holding it), holding it secure in place.

I though, according to sparky, I had untill easter..... :whistle:
So I carried the MTO today..... I chose it as I like smaller, lighter tools
I had it in my pocket in the evening when I had to change a gas cylinder….
I tried to cut the seal but it was not much use for that.
(http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee484/jladks/toys/1-IMGP4075.jpg)
Then I used the tip to tighten the hose clamp as it was a bit loose.
(http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee484/jladks/toys/2-IMGP4076.jpg)
And tightened it a bit further with the spanner part.
(http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee484/jladks/toys/3-IMGP4078.jpg)
I later took care of two staples I nailed in a piece of wood a while back whilst playing with a staple gun.
The staples:
(http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee484/jladks/toys/01-DSCF0934.jpg)
Using the Tofty:
(http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee484/jladks/toys/02-DSCF0937.jpg)
It slid under easily and pried the staple off easily. No damage done to the tool, no scratches. The finish looks quite robust.
(http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee484/jladks/toys/03-DSCF0939.jpg)
The Tofty seems a bit magnetic, by the way. The MTO is not.
(http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee484/jladks/toys/04-DSCF0941.jpg)
Then I used the MTO to do the same to the other staple.
(http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee484/jladks/toys/05-DSCF0942.jpg)
Nice leverage for screwing with the MTO:
(http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee484/jladks/toys/06-DSCF0947.jpg)
The Tofty can be used in 3 ways for screwing, but the MTO having a dedicated bit holder works better.
Here is the Tofty in action:

(http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee484/jladks/toys/08-DSCF0949.jpg)

Now that's more like it. :salute: Great shots dks. :2tu:
-
fantastic work Demetris :tu:
(you put me to shame :facepalm:)
-
and I have only used 3 cameras so far :o
I am worried about damaging these tools all the time, so I try not to do anything really stupid with them.
So far I like the MTO more. With a twin head screwbit fixed with a rubber band to it it will make a decent and light multitool.
I assume if you had to open several 10L paint cans a day or pry SS nails the size/strength of the Tofty marked one would be appreciated.
-
Nice jon there!You haven't done the most important test yet...opening a beer!

Nice pictures Dks
Soon be Easter

Thank you all :D
For some reason I have no bottles of beer in the house...... :facepalm:
Time to buy some then!
-
Fantastic photos guys, thats probably more use than a prybar has ever actually had before.
Side question; how far did the card, showing what size o-rings go where, get to? I haven't seen it with the tin in any recent pictures.
-
Not as far as me :rofl:
I can also verify that the MTO branded one is not radioactive, based on my tests today :tu:

No raised alpha, beta, gamma radiation levels or any neutron emmision.
I did not test for positrons though... >:(

Uses for the MTO
Changing beeper batteries:
(http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee484/jladks/toys/IMGP4103.jpg)
Screwing:
(http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee484/jladks/toys/IMGP4106.jpg)
Removing labels:
(http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee484/jladks/toys/IMGP4105.jpg)
Screwing in hooks:
(http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee484/jladks/toys/IMGP4108.jpg)
The major improvement I could see would be to make the variable spanner section a bit bigger so as to accomodate a short double headed screwdriver bit.
A minor improvement could be to add a sharp edge inside one of the "M" corners so as to be able to cut string.

i'm glad i had them before you ! at this rate you'll wear them out :rofl:

I hope you're talking about the robo-hamster. :whistle:

those hamsters are great fun!

It's certainly going to be a wrench for you to let it go :D

Last pictures before they are packed to be shipped off.
I found the Tofty one a bit bulky and heavy and carried the MTO one daily.
Maybe if they were made from a different material, a lighter one, or if I needed a heavy duty prybar things would be different. They were both non-radioactive and their outer finish was very nice and tough.
My suggestion was to make the variable spanner part bigger so as to store a small twin headed bit there. Also a small cutting area would be good.
The weight difference is small but noticeable.

They will be posted tomorrow, marked discreetly as Pu-238, so as to fly under the customs Radar and reach their destination safely ;)
:salute: Bye Bye little tools :cry: :cry: :cry:

The tools were posted to Croatia today :salute:
Knowing how the post office works they should be there in 3 to 30000 days.
-
no real point in anyone else testing them, you did such a good job mate :tu:

:salute: 7-10 would be my guess. :D Current record is 5 months though. ;)

I received the package today. :salute:
The MTO one is on my keychain for the next couple of days and will then be replaced with the TOFTY one. ;)

Good. I was getting worried that it was taking too long to go to you.
-
Absolutely loving the pictures everyone, some great reviews and feedback.
I did originally look at having storage for a bit but decided against it due to space limitations, i think i'll have another look at it just to see if it's at all possible.
Thanks again everyone for taking part.
-
And Thank you for giving us the chance to try out and play with some unique tools :salute:
:cheers:

I've been carrying the Tofty one for the last couple of days. Not very keychain friendly. Much bigger and heavier than than MTO one and no real way of attaching it to the keychain except on the o-ring. I'll post some more pics and thoughts come weekend. :salute:
-
Now it's my turn to
brake play with these cool little tools. They came in Friday but I'm just now remembering to post that they came in. It's been more than two weeks Nikola since you said you'd post your thoughts :pok: :rofl:
-
How's this all coming along?
Has our final recipient had the pleasure yet?

I've been EDCing the MT.O Prybar last 3 days and used it a lot during weekend, but mostly for bottle opening :drink:
And today it worked like a charm to remove some dried epoxy drops from a steel surface. :tu:

I finally got the pics out of my phone ! :D

Even more to come...

Thanks for the pics. :salute:
What are your impressions of them? Did you carry them loose or on a keychain?
-
I liked them a lot ! :tu: The metal felt a little soft and sometimes I had to think twice before pushing them too far, but both did a great job. :salute:
I carried them loose, one in my pocket (usually the MT.O) and the other one in my backpack.
Overall I liked more the MT.O Prybar cause it was more pocket friendly.
Here are the last pics I took...
The tools meeting their ancestors:
