These Raker tools have taken MTO by storm. I'm using mine every day for loads of stuff.

+1

For my routine night checks or morning feed and turnout at the barn, it has replaced all other MT's. Extremely handy flat piece of steel.

I haven't got mine yet, but I got an idea. What if you put a Philips 1/4" bit in a spy capsule and carry it with the Raker Ring. That way, when you need a Phillips, you just take out the bit and put it in the 1/4" hole in the tool. Would that work? Does somebody have an extra pill fob they want to get rid of? I'll trade one of these: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.20243 .

Well,good news!
My 2 Raker Damascus Ringtools Have arrived!! Now I can see why behind the zealotry of all of you who own such a tool.

You may now include me in your ranks.
One is attached to my other "mini tools", and the other is attched the carabiner on my Skeletools CX!!

I got mine today. Very nice little tool. Smaller than I was expecting, but still very nice. I just have one question. Are 1/4" bits supposed to be held in place in the 1/4" hole? Because the bits I have just slide through.

Raker · **Reply #67 on:** December 17, 2009, 02:28:22 AM

ari6126,
I have some long 1/4" bits that I can use my thumb to hold them in. The short ones would need an Atwood style rubber band wrapped around the tool. I could have put a notch in it to facilitate the O-ring but felt that I didn't want to encrouch on some one else's style. I have no problem with any one modifying their tools to utilize them for their personal needs. I don't know of any one that can make a tool to suit every one. I have tried to make a simple tool that may be used for several functions well and a few maybe not so well. The 1/4" hex hole is one of the not so well functions. A small grinding wheel to make a notch on each side of the 1/4" hex and you have what you need to hold the bit. I hope I have answered your question and if you have more, please let me know.

Thanks Raker. Your tool works great on cord. I may try working on the 1/4" drive.

The 1/4" cutout is good for adjusting SOG tools that are held together by 1/4" bolts.

A good reason too get a 2nd Raker

I got mine on the 15th. It really is a well designed tool.

My thoughts also.

How about seven of them?

I thought they used 5/16" bolts

I also like that you can just get one. You don't have to wait for some to be made, enter a lottery and still pay over $50.

Ray, will there be another run of these?

Raker · **Reply #79 on:** December 24, 2009, 01:11:26 PM

Right now I have some listed on EDCSource. These are the last ones I stamped. This is the last time that they will have this stamp on them. The next time it will be a different stamp, maybe a "MT,Org" stamp. Also depends on the demand for them. If the interest is there, sure.
