Another excellent idea, well executed sir You need to stop showing us all these goodies or start taking orders for them
Awesome as always! Think I know what kind of bottle opener you used as a model, looks very professional. I don't use either a can opener nor bottle opener myself, ever, but I can see how they are useful to have even if you just use it rarely

Very clever Looking at the amount of work fashioning that steel I can't imagine we'll be able to order them until automated production occurs; it must have taken an age to get right, well done
would be even better if the wheel was replaceable, nice mod!
WOw I'm sure he was very happy with it! So many tools where 90% of it is the handle, that's what multitools and things like this helps with
I just got to know...how many bit carriers are you using to contain all of this awesome? Or is the Super Evil Bit Carrier next?
Very impressive
Excellent as always PS: check your PM
Great work as usual
When will you start taking orders for the Evil 128 piece bit kit
He's probably working on a roll out mat for all his bits.
(Over at http://www.facebook.com/leathermanusa btw.)Post 1: Any plans to make a multi tool made for cleaning and adjusting weapons? I was firing at a range in Afghanistan and I needed to adjust my front sight on my M4. Usually, we use bullets or nails to make the adjustment. A fellow shooter pulled out a Gerber tool (seen here: http://gerber-efect.com/) and we were all amazed! ...I am very faithful to Leatherman and I believe very strongly that if you guys make a tool like that, it will be sought after from a lot of military, law enforcement, and professional shooters! Just thought I'd ask!Post 2: I just wanted to add that I know the MUT is going to have tools to clean and adjust... To be a little more specific, any plans on adding a front sight adjustment tool?Post 3: Thank you for your support! We all appreciate hearing that! I apologize for not being clear. What I'm talking about is the ability to adjust the front sights of M16s, AR-15s, and M4s. When zeroing (calibrating), sometimes we have to turn th...e front sight clockwise or counter c/w. Usually this is done with an extra round because the tip is narrow enough to fit in one of the grooves. If your screwdriver bits fit like that then thats great but the actual tool i was speaking of consists of about 4 prongs that sit perfectly in the front sight and turns easily. I will create another post on your wall with a picture of the tool.Post 4: this is an example of a front sight adjustment tool(Image removed from quote.)Post 5: and in this photo, the red arrow points to where the adjustment is made(Image removed from quote.)Post 6: I hope that cleared up any confusion. The only reason I bring it up is when we needed it, it was attached to a Gerber tool. Personally, I'd like to see it featured on a Leatherman. I own a Charge, Crunch, and a Skeletool. The MUT is next on my list and if in the future there is a tool with a front sight adjustment tool on it, I will definitely buy that too!
Believe me, I do have a fondness for Leatherman tools despite their shortcomings. While I do not own any of those weapons, I can tell you without a doubt, of any current multitools out there, if I wanted a weapon specific tool I would choose a Multitasker above any Gerber or Leatherman. I have the full second generation of the Multitasker line-up. From a perfectionist that pays attention to detail, I can tell you that the craftsmanship and build quality of these tools put Gerber and Leatherman to shame, seriously. But then again, that is just my opinion. I have been overdue posting my insights/opinions on them but will do so soon. The MUT will no doubt suit a specific niche. I have yet to handle one. I am not overly excited about them and will wait a while. I will probably get one at some point, but unless I came across a killer deal on one, traded work for one or I am bought one, etc... I won't be getting one anytime soon. Too rich for my blood. Don't get me wrong, I see tons of modding potential with the MUT. But at this point in time, for me it is more hype than anything. With my highly modified Surge, I don't see much I could do with a MUT task-wise that I couldn't do as well, if not better with my Surge. By the way, the sides of the ST300 plier head on my Surge work well as makeshift hammers. I am actually making sacrificial hammer faces for them. As for the longer MUT drivers? Not to worry. Evil's new bits do everything those can do... and some things they can't. I'll be posting them soon.....
Oh, it was just something mentioned over at Leatherman USA on how great you are with making bits, and thought I'd throw it at you over here before I forgot.MUT has two important things that I am unable to fix my Surge, as I lack the tools & workplace for one, and the skill to change it.Pliers: The ST300 like head without sacrificing other functionsHandle lock: Although this might not be a big deal, it's got my curiosityThe removable blade scraper automatically tells me that's prime Awl/Scissors area. But not seeing how bulky it is or isn't I can't say - never held one.BTW, if anybody is into star gazing, the moon and Jupiter are supposed to be the two brightest objects in the sky this Saturday!
