I'm not a good review writer so I doubt I'll be doing that. Sorry

Must get a puck wrench.

[Yadda]

This thing is really crazy. It's a screwdriver with a rotating barrel of bits.

You pull out the handle and rotate it to select what bit you want to use. When you pull it out, the current bit goes in, and the new one you select gets pushed out when you push it back together. It is magnetic, all plastic, and comes with 6 bits. And you can change out the bits for any ones you want! Whamodyne!

I have a set of these.  They actually work well.

I just received the pen! It is bigger than I expected and feels very high quality. It even comes in a nice box. Thank you Jim Gingrich, enki_ck, Tim (felinevet did the shipping), and every great member on here!

[Nhoj]

Here's a good size comparison

[enki_ck]

Glad it got there safely and fast.

[Grant Lamontagne]

That is pretty sweet!

I may have to get one of those. What kind of cartridge does it take?

I'm not sure. I've never had a space pen but it looks like it might take a space pen refill? If you want one you should also look at the pen with a flat head driver instead of the gun sight tool.

[Grant Lamontagne]

Yeah, that does seem like a better option.

Al,
If you really want to be aggravated, try using the version with the corkscrew.

(Image removed from quote.)

A corkscrew version!! 

These all just goes to show how bonkers some of the tools of old really were 
Nice catch Bob  Do you know anything about them such as where/when made?

Oop, sorry I missed your question there Al. I posted some info about this tool in the Old Combination Tools thread: http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,46382.15.html

Ami Open-All
Kitchen/bartender's tool, with four different toothed sections for opening different size container lids. Also a hammer/ice cracking head, a cap lifter, and a screwdriver/pry tip. Later version included a corkscrew, early versions did not. Patented by Joseph N. Amigone of Buffalo, New York, in 1951.

Excellent! Many thanks Bob

I just emailed Jim Gingrich and he said it is a fisher space pen refill.

[J-sews]

Excellent! Many thanks Bob 

Do you have a magnet nearby to check yours with Al? I'm working on a theory that these were made from brass, then chrome plated.

Sorry mate, you need to rethink that one  very slightly magnetic, particuarly on the arms, and feels too light to be brass. Possibly a die cast pot metal (white metal/zinc based - which can sometimes contain traces of iron in the alloy) then triple plated (copper, nickel, chrome)?

There does appear to be a little discolouration and pitting on mine, but not what you'd expect from an iron based alloy - not "furry" enough. Certainly doesn't feel like steel either.

Ahh, that makes more sense. I've got a scratched-up one around here somewhere, and there's a reddish-yellow metal under the chrome. I'd assumed the base tool was brass, but a layer of copper plating over die cast zinc would explain that color also.
