They walk a very fine line seperating beauty from function.Worthy of their own seperate gallery in a museum of industrial design.

They are no doubt beautiful.  Though there functionality is limited, they are small and unobtrusive so I say they are good for there size.  I am sure most here (even that cheap a#$ OLF) wish they could have one hanging from some 550.

These are very nice, and, since they do have mltiple functions, they are definitely multitools!
Looking at the "multi-wrench" cut-outs reminded me of a tool I am thinking of adding to to my next Lee Valley order:

Why's that Micky...for example...on one of them there is a multi wrench, bottle opener and pry bar/screwdriver.

More tools than on a skeletool  :D

Well I think everyone know's how I feel about the Skeletool, so we'll leave it there :D

Yes they are multi featured, but they are limited being a fixed tool, and frankly are just too pretty to be proper tools :D

They are nice objects.  I'm not sure I'd dare use them though.  That's not actually a negative comment, I have many SAKs that just sit around looking pretty.

When can I fondle them :D

They look nice  :drool:.

They are multi's IMO.  We classify the Frog tool as one so I see no reason why these aren't either.

If anyone has one of those they'd care to sell/swap let me know.  I did a search but couldn't find a UK seller.

(this is the point you hand me a list of all the UK sellers I failed to find :) )

Nope i don't think there is a UK seller :-\ At least my awesome powers of google foo can't find one! Think you'll either have to find a US seller who will ship to Blighty or find a friendly American to help you out :)

Thanks for the links.  The only problem there is that shipping would most likely be more than the tool.  I'm probably best just keeping an eye on eBay.

Neil, if you are willing to wait, I am sure I will be placing a Lee Valley order sooner or later. I do one about every 2-3 months. I'll PM you when I am ready to do the next one to see if you are still interested.
