Telstar Multi-Wrench
on: May 19, 2016, 04:09:53 PM
Recently I acquired my first pocketwrench II which found its home in my EDC bag and DIY Grid It system (more on that later).  While waiting for the wife in the nail salon, I stumbled over to the knock-off Dollar Store, the Dollar King.  Came across this little gem for $1.49 plus tax - Telstar Multi Purpose Wrench.  I don't think it's going to unseat the PW2, but it could very well end up standing next to it.  Just carrying it in a back pocket for now, but may find it's way into a bike saddle bag.

Stated as 2.0mm thick on the website.  Measured about 4 3/4" long x 1 5/8" wide.

Interesting. Even if it sucks, for $1.50 who cares? Is that little spur on the lower right a cap-lifter?

There are two hooks on the tool that notch in to a couple of different sized lock rings. I think one of the correct terms for them is "C-ring wrench".

Same here in Finland, around 80's and 90's those were everywhere. I recall having at least 3 at some point, not quite sure if I still have one in my toolbox...
