Today will be the Gerber MT beeflord itself. The BO Freehand! LED 2xAA Maglite w/ tailswitch and Kershaw Filter knife!

How do you like that Freehand?  I've stumbled across a couple online (Fliks too) and while I've always been really tempted to grab one, the stubby drivers have always managed to keep me from pulling the trigger.
IMHO. The Freehand and Flik, which I have both, are good ideas gone wrong. The Freehand weighs over 13oz.  :o
They are neat and still useful,  but are more of MT collector pieces than something I'd choose to use. The one hand pliers require two steps to fully engage on the Flik and Freehand.
The drivers are only useful on surface screw heads, since the reach and ergonomics are among the worst of all MTs. The Freehand has a sort of "pry tool", while the Flik has a more useful wood saw.

I wouldn't recommend either as daily user tools, but are certainly something a Gerber collector will want to have. :tu:

Thanks for the reply.  You confirmed my suspicions.    :tu:

Spartan/Steve -  I hope you guys thaw out soon!

2x MP400 today - been EDC'ing both since Spartan very kindly sent me my BO's cuz. Thanks so much dude. I can't choose between the two so I'm doin' it the MTO way.

I have swapped out the wharncliffe DE for a BO clip point DE for preference. Best of both worlds, one bladeless, one bladed!
