I like this style of adjustable wrench.
But... I think I want it in steel. Most of the nuts I'd apply it to are steel, and while Ti is the sexy metal and utterly blingtastic, it's not harder than steel. And for the not-steel nuts, it's too low mass to make an effective bludgon. :P
I also disagree with the need and "depth" of the clip, and that this is a "full sized" grip.
Now... If they made it in steel. And maybe added a 1/4" socket stud on the base so I could use it with sockets and use extensions to make a full sized grip...
its too small for "high torque", its also too expensive for rough use. Considering small Ti-prybars I would say it should be able withstand what you give it as long as you are not going to use additional lever.I like this style of adjustable wrench.

Titanium isn't the right material for a high torque list, IMO. Should be steel. But then, why not just carry a small (4") adjustable wrench :dunno:
Because then they wouldn't make any money. :PFunny part is that sometimes stuff sells better when it is a bit more expensive. Often you sell cheap or you sell expensive and there is nothing in-between. The EDC crowd is more than willing to pay a bit extra, after all our gear is also our jewelry.

There might be little to no difference to other offerings except for luxury/style/design. And there are plenty of people willing to pay for that.

Been trying to find an alloy version so it is not as heavy to carry yet still strong. Everything now seems to be cast metal and is far too heavy to carry. Remember, not everyone weighs the same, and some us prefer lighter loads.
As for the design, meh. Still rather have something that I submitted to Leatherman ages ago...

Am I reading this right, they want 120 dollars for this thing? ...or am I stoned or drunk ...or maybe both?What do you expect... if you look at pry-bars, they easily want $50 for a small slab of Ti, this is actually quite nicely machined, so in comparison to Ti-Prybars this is a steal...

I have crafted a very well and professionally written draft for their customer services department, do you think this draft would be of satisfactory to them and convince them to reconsider their price valuation of their current product portfolio?
Just to be clear, I did not say it is a 50$ wrench, I said other, even simpler products made of Ti are at that price, so the $120 price is the logical consequence(I pre-ordered fortunately back then it was $99).Am I reading this right, they want 120 dollars for this thing? ...or am I stoned or drunk ...or maybe both?What do you expect... if you look at pry-bars, they easily want $50 for a small slab of Ti, this is actually quite nicely machined, so in comparison to Ti-Prybars this is a steal...

Anyway, don't like the price, don't buy it. I mean this holds true for almost everything, no? Why would anyone ever buy an iPhone? A OnePlus phone does the same at a fraction of the price.

Three words...Knipex Plier Wrench :whistle:Great tool! I have the 150mm / 6” version and it’s awesome, though a bit too large and heavy for the pants pocket I think. They have a 125mm version though that can still get on a 23mm nut. Vastly more capable than the Ti wrench IMO and under half the price.
Just so you guys can start saving...Like the Ti pocket wrench I think this is pretty cool, but expensive for what it is.
The Everyday Screwdriver (https://bigidesign.com/collections/popular-products/products/ti-eds) is up for pre-order :D and no, of course I have not ordered it... well maybe I have...
Cute little thing and $10 cheaper
Like this a lot... and unlike other EDC screwdrivers, this is not a fidget spinner.
Like the Ti pocket wrench I think this is pretty cool, but expensive for what it is.Yes..big fan of the CT, this would be great in combination with the CT for the larger screws PH2/TX25/TX40 often found in servers (not heavy duty but the other end to the spectrum, while the CT has the PCs covered).
The main drawback I see is that it only carries 3 bits, which to my mind isn't enough to cover the common fixing jobs that arise. Obviously you can carry extra bits but then that detracts from the whole pocketable, handy nature of the thing.
A Cybertool S is a bit bigger and no doubt quite a lot heavier but I think still pocketable (21.5mm thick, 96g) and that gives you eight drivers - and blades, awl etc as well. Also cheaper. On the other hand, the Cybertool bits are proprietary so the Everyday Screwdriver ultimately gives you a lot more flexibility if you don't mind carrying extra bits separately.
I carry this in my small portable toolkit:Thats not bad at all. :like:

Irega 4" adjustable spanner, good for nuts up to 15mm. It weights about 50g / a bit less than 2 ounces, is made from chrome vanadium steel and does its job well. I paid about US$20 for it.
