[Grathr]

I just got the Sanrenmu series 9 model 12 in the mail, wich is the Sanrenmu version of Bokers tech tool City2.

Here are some pics from the unboxing:

First impressions:
All the tools opens a closes nicely with a nice snap. No play in any of the tools.
The fit and finish as overall pretty good, and it feels like a very well built tool.
The G-10 scales are very grippy.

Ill report back later when I have tested this tool properly.

Some more pics from the manual:
There seems to be 3different series in 3 different sizes:
Series 6 (brown) small
Series 7 (green) medium
Series 9 (black) large

Very nice mate.   Where did you buy it from?

[Grathr]

I bought it on ebay for $24,95 inc shipping. The seller was in China but the package came from Germany, wich was a bit weird.

That would look great with some bone/wood scales

Isn't that a copy of the 'Boker' or something

I think that Sanremu makes the Boker tools for the European and American market, and their own version wich is almost identical for the Asian market. (Just my speculation)
I was probably not suppose to be able to buy it, but Ebay makes it possible.

That's interesting. I would be most curious to see a test on its glass breaker, due to another review on one of these just recently...

Considering that it is not much cheaper than the Böker, I find (from the pictures) that it looks a bit rough (screws stand completely out (They stand out in the Böker as well, but I think not as much) / scales are not rounded at the corners / The tools have a dull look ). Of course it would be interesting if they really make it in 3 sizes

The main question however is: HOW IS THE BLADE?

Didnt it fall off on Ethealicers Boker?

No, it was mangled and torn... victim of violence!

Ok

Interesting. Didn't know they do Böker too. I know they have a contract with CRKT, Buck, Spyderco but Böker is new to me.

I'd like to try out one of the smaller/shorter ones one day. Do all the tool loadouts come in all three sizes?

[Zed]

I find myself drawn to this like a moth to a flame   

[Etherealicer]

Böker also has expanded their line with new scales... basically, more of the same. I wish they would add different tools, instead of different scales.

The pics of the manual shows all the models.

I tested the small driver/phillips/serrated blade today. It looks like really bad consept, but Im surprised by how well it worked.
The angle of the driver gives you a lot more torque than using the canopener/small driver on a SAK, and it felt quite natural to use. It did close on me once though, because I pushed it in the wrong direction.


Screwing in those screws with a SAK would have required me to really torque down on it, but with the SRM it was not that hard.

[Gareth]

and you still have all ten fingers?  Good to hear.

Yes!  I only got a scratch on one finger

FYI the boker versions have 3mm pivots

I just think a serrated blade on a non-locking driver is asking for injuries.

I have to agree that its not the best idea.

I had a lot of trouble using mine. It certainly gives you more torque but in order to transfer that to the screw you (or am I the only one) push the driver hard into the screw, and due to the angle it is bound to collapse then.

I did not have that problem. I used it the way I would have done with small ratchet, letting the screw dig its way in insted of pushing it in. (If that made any sense??)

[firiki]

It makes sense. What doesn't make sense is the presence of a serrated edge and a screwdriver on the same implement

Do we need a new badge for the first one of us to lose an extremity?

NNR should definitly not get one
