Screwpop 4 in 1 Tool

[Grant Lamontagne]

Some time ago, Gadget Guy started a thread about these.  You can see the thread here:

http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,16359.0.html

Last week, the owner of the Screwpop tool called me and asked if I'd review it.  Being a multitool junki.... uh I mean being the owner of a responsible multitool website interested in providing as many facts to as many people as possible.  I haven't had a chance to put it through it's paces yet, but I do have some initial thoughts (and also some pictures!) to share!



The four functions of the Screwpop, as listed on the instruction sheet (and yes, it comes with instructions!) are:

Bottle Opener
1/4" nut driver
Phillips screwdriver
Flathead screwdriver

As you can see, it's made in China, but as it's a very simple tool there shouldn't be any worries about quality control, as it's pretty hard to mess up one piece!



The bottle opener works exceptionally well, as it's pretty well a standard bottle opener, rather than a fold away component that needs to save space for other tools. 

The screwdriver bits are well formed and use a ball bearing to stay in the driver, and seems pretty secure.

I'll give more details and thoughts on it when I have them.

anychance of a multitool.org edition of these ?

look pretty neat only problem i can see with it being a bottle open is having to take it off your keys to use it as one

nice idea though

[Vladimir]

I have couple of these incoming

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

I'm really keen to get one of those myself

It looks like it could be used while still on a keychain- the opening is certainly big enough.  I'll try it out later.

For those who dont know him, he's a very nice guy doing a bunch of knife, zippo, gear and lately gun related stuff.

and after duanes review it will do well 

[CUTZ SIX]

He kinda scares me 

[DaveK]

There's a lot of reviews of this tool on Youtube now.

I've been asked to do one too. It is a rather neat thing, I'm going to be kind to it

Wohooo....  

Are you gonna do it 'face in the cam' Duane style.?  

[DaveK]

Probably not.........

[ryan1835]

has anyone found out if it opens bottles with keys attached?

[DaveK]

Yup! It actually works very well indeed. It's a neat little thing.

I actually have two now, thanks to Zack. Expect a low-value give-away in the near future

[Benner]

John was kind enough to send me one of these and I got it yesterday.  For some reason it really speaks to me and I really like it.  It just, well, works.  The bits as Def said are well formed and it has a good solid feel to it.  It makes a great addition to my work EDC which has to be completely bladeless and safe if dropped.

[Benner]

How do peeps find the bottle opener.  I can't seem to open bottles with more than 1 attempt.

[Vladimir]

Mine is working ok

[Benner]

Mine is working ok

What, one movement and cap off?

I think it may have been the fact I was drinking Becks.  I think I remember writing before how I found those different to open.  Got a few different beers tonight so I'll report back.

Yes, I'm very well trained

have you got a shard?

i found it hard in one shot with those

[Benner]

I do have a Shard.  Not the best opener no.

I think it was the bottles as I am opening these first time now. 

[JohnD]

Anyone know where these can be had in the UK?
