New Gecko Kits OPMTs
on: September 17, 2012, 08:23:27 PM
For UK and EU based OPTM fans, the following might be worth a look:

http://www.survivaldepot.co.uk/product/gecko_dog_tag

http://www.survivaldepot.co.uk/product/gecko_shark

http://www.survivaldepot.co.uk/product/gecko_parrot

The Shark looks like it would fall foul of UK knife and pointy things carry law but all the  tools are original designs and look to be well conceived. I recently ordered a Gecko Kits Dugo model, which is very nicely made, and I didn't take very long to convince myself that I really needed the dog tag tool.  The dog tag is now on order.

Given the price of the new tools and the quality of Gecko Kits' earlier tool, I think these OPTMs might be worth looking at, and, anyway, it's good to see more manufacturers and new models of OPTMs.

What's the tool set on them?

Dog Tag - flathead, pry, what can the starshape be used for?
Shark - flathead, pry, bottle opener, knife at nose?
Parrot - hex, pry, bottle opener, two flatheads, hex

Missing any?

Boyen, I don't believe you're missing any functions from your list.  I think the star shape cut out in the dog tag tool contains a wire stripper, a bottle opener and looks like it could be intended to be used as a wrench.  For very light tasks if that's the case, of course.  I'll know more when I see one, which should be later this week.

Report who for what?!
I don't see any link with the OP.

That's just another kickstarter project doing yet another copy of an Atwood type tool and some other unoriginal stuff.... surely that bandwagon must be overloaded by now ::)
