Contender #11 also showed up this week and initially seemed very interesting as so far it is the only one that came with any kind of packaging.
Once you get past the fancy packaging you will notice that the tool is cast out of some very cheap pot metal. I doubt I would want to use this for any prying or tightening/loosening stubborn screws as we all well know cast metal does not respond well to flexing.
We also recently had a discussion in the
Nite Ize DoohicKeys thread regarding exposed blade edges, and this one suffers from exactly the same problem as the Nite Ize version, although maybe to a slightly lesser extent as the cast metal is not likely to take/hold much of an edge, making it potentially slightly safer, but also potentially less useful.
In that same thread I was not too thrilled with the Nite Ize version, but as you can see from Contender #11, it could be worse- much worse. For example, one of the functions listed is a file.
These ridges are what they call a file:
If they didn't specifically point them out I might have thought the edge was just poorly finished. Instead it is a "function" of the tool.
Contender #11 cost me a whopping $1.50. That was at least a dollar too much.
