Roxon M4 Pocket Tool with Bits Group accessory.

[Chako]

I was looking for a replacement on my Swiss+Tech nailclipper that I carry around on my keychain, but ultimately found this to be too large for the keyring. It is however well designed and nice with its leather cladding.

Roxon sure loves their bags. The little Bits Group extra does add a lot of functionality to the M4. The problem is how to carry it. The bag works to keep everything together, but is a pain to use. I think the M4 is a bit too large for a keychain. A sheath might have worked better, and I guess there is nothing stopping me from finding something suitable for use.

The nailclipper is actually quite nice. It deploys a lot better than the spring loaded Swiss+Tech nailclipper that I am currently using. The handle locks in alignment with the clipper. The Swiss+Tech one I am using has a sharp hinge that folds down to keep the clipper closed. This hinge digs into my palm something fierce everytime I use it. I need a better solution and the M4 corrects a lot of wrongs with my current EDC clipper, except for carrying it around.

The Roxon M4 is a nice well designed multi-tool that has a quality feel and build to it. I guess what I am really looking for is a compact nailclipper that fits on a keychain and doesn't hurt to use. I am still looking.
