Husky anyone
on: April 11, 2009, 11:10:40 PM
Found this on eBay a few days ago.  I looks like some Home Depot brand of MT...the package mentions bringing it back to Home Depot for the 3-year warranty.  I don't think I'd ever make this my EDC, but as I was needing an adjustable wrench it seemed a waste to just get a wrench. :)


Sorry for the crappy picture.  My phone was charging, so I had to use my dinky camera.

Useful looking design. I agree with you about single use tool -that's much interesting than a simple wrench :)

Hey turbov, is that some sort of spare bit carrier on board that tool?
In order to be certain of having the right tool for every job.........one must first acquire a lot of tools

Much more, and not even much more expensive actually.

Yep.  3 bits, each with two sides/sizes: flat head, Phillips, and hex.

How much did it set you back?

The actual tool was $2.00, but shipping was an additional $9.99, so $11.99 total.

By the way, I do not recommend getting this tool, the 11-in-1 Husky.  Less than a day after opening it up, as I was playing with it, the bolt that acts as an axel for the wrench dial/knob/control fell out.  I was able to put it back in with my Blast's screwdriver, but I don't think tools are supposed to fall apart that quickly.

A better made version of that would be useful.

Chinese made tool have sometimes very good if not interesting design but the materials and built quality is just poo-poo. Now if the Chinese multitool builders make quality materials and good quality controlled multitools the Swiss and American multitool makers are in trouble.
