Got mine a couple of weeks ago

Oh so tempting. And shipping to me would be £6.

I don't "need" one but at this price ...

I'll leave it in the basket till morning, maybe I'll change my mind.

Even at £30, it's one of those grossly irritating oversized 111mm locking blade doofers, so I think I'll refrain .... although that's no guarantee that I'll still be refraining 12 hours from now

What's your thoughts on it Mark?

Disengaging the lock on 111mm Vics is easy. just take out the spring and locking tab, change the back scale to a OHO scale one if you mind the hole from the lock and done.

It's still probably too long for UK legal carry. I agree though the size of it makes me think it would be a drawer queen.

And the link to some old disco'd tools I got recently isn't helping.

It is a big handful. Not pocket carry for me but good on trips in the bag. Will bring it next week.

Ok now I am awake a few comparison shots. Swiss champ, juice xe6 and core. Only other thing to add would be the bigger Phillips is a bit on the stubby side.
Sorry about the duplicates pics up top. It's my youngest 5th birthday, so may have had a few sherbets. Round 2 of the party today.

If I didn't already have it - I'd be all over this!!
Great heads up

I think I'll have another look at one at the meet-up, I'm just not convinced I have any need for one whatsoever, other than as a 'cool thing'.

Cheers Mark

I'm pretty sure I've not seen one before, and I'd be very interested to see it in person next week

Ah yes. Still if you ask a normal person, they will tell you that there is really no need for more than 5 multi tools ........

Go on Amazon.co.uk and order one. Even with the shipping it will work out a lot less. I regularly order from amazon.com and .de. It is hassle free as they handle all the import duties.
