What is so special about this wrench vs some of the other ones that have other tools built into it? I just don’t have any clue on this subject, I mean heck I saw one with a punisher skull that looked cool and it had the diff size wrenches, a pry bar, and a few other things, :dunno:

Thanks David :hatsoff:

I have several other tools that are similar but the quality of these is above and beyond :cheers: they have a better look to me than most other tools and it has a pry bar end along with a very useful wrench that covers many different sized nuts :tu: the ruler is a bit small but could be handy for different things as well :tu: they are also made very beefy and I have never felt like it was going to break on me in use either :salute:

As Poncho said, the quality of the USA made ones is second to none.  They are solid stainless steel or CV, and seem to have been properly heat treated.

I’ve put all of the considerable force I can muster on mine with no ill effect, and I don’t think you could damage one (other than typical tool wear) in normal use unless you beat on it with a hammer or used a cheater.

The ruler marks are deeply etched into the steel, ensuring they will most likely remain legible for the life of the tool.

The pry end seems to hit the sweet spot for thickness and taper, enabling it to get into some fairly tight spots without being fragile.

The wrench is a thing of beauty.  Many other OPMTs use a series of cutouts to handle a very limited number of nut/bolt sizes.  The PWII will handle absolutely anything that fits into its wrench: standard hex, metric, square, whatever.

With no really sharp edges or corners, it is fairly comfortable to use for a OPMT.  It also fits perfectly in my wallet, so I always I have it handy.

I’m not sentimental about it.  If I could find a OPMT that was better than the PWII, I would buy several and start carrying one immediately.  But I’ve been carrying a PWII for probably 15 or 20 years, and I can’t recall anything else being close to dethroning it yet.

Well thanks guys, I can see how for someone who’s around a lot of nuts and needs a mini pry bar all the time that this would work, I’m not really in need, I’d probably go for something with some more tools vs the two, maybe something like that geekey, something maybe to hold a hex, and good for opening taped boxes, but it also has both hex and metric nut sizes, that and the file and ruler,, so who knows maybe someday, it’s something I really need,

It has 4-5 functions by my count:
- Wrench
- Ruler
- Hex bit driver
- Prybar/flat screwdriver

potable? I must have been totally out of it last night, that was suppose to be possible!  :facepalm: Dang, I looked on eBay but the Mrs and I deleted our account with them, I even looked on Etsy, what about either a Gerber shard, or a niteize DoohicKey?

The Shard is a neat little tool. I don't carry mine enough. The Gerber Mullet is awlso worth considering; it's a tiny bit bigger and has a few more functions. The DoohicKey... :dunno: You might be able to find one at Home Depot, though.

You mean the screwdriver?  :think:

It is a Leatherman Ratchet Driver with a Zapwizard micro screwdriver handle. It slips over the Ratchet driver and this one holds the LM flat bits. Just search Zapwizard and he has a site :cheers: he is a member here at MTO (you can probably get to his site from his signature line link here as well) but he hasn't been active in a while :salute: the price isn't exactly cheap but when I ordered mine they were cheaper :whistle: :ahhh

He 3D prints several different things besides the screwdriver handles, he also prints different sheaths and other accessories for LM :tu:
