Looks like such an amazingly well built tool. Something would have to go horribly wrong for the EDC version to not be one of he best multis ever made. I really hope we get as well though out a tool selection as this version has, because it's clear how much consideration went into the engineering in this thing. Such incredible attention to ever last detail, with very few compromises made.Don't suppose there's any word on what kind of loadout we can expect from the EDC version? I hope it's something at least approaching the completeness of the Swisstool/ Spirit, because that kind of versatility with this kind of build quality would be unbelievably awesome. BTW, think glasses driver, I know most people hate 'em but that's the only thing that keeps me from carrying a full size multi more often, I need that mini-driver all the time.

Hi,Nice review and pix. Is it possible to remove a broken tool, like on SOG? I can see an hex screw in the axle...The dental pick... must have other utility. I cannot imagine playing in my mouth with such a thing.

Wrench huh? Wondering where that idea came from It's going to be designed more like the bottle opener tool Grant just bought or the Guitar tool I just got. The style of wrench opening takes up less room than the style used in the Atwood tools or the Pocket Wrench for instance. Stepped vertical increments takes less room than the angled slope with teeth. We think anyways, we need something to compensate for the needle nose pliers. Shane is almost set on the pliers, he doesn't want the head to be like a standard multitool. He feels it would weaken the head design too much. Eventually he may do a traditional style head but for now it's not on the board. I don't think anyways, still working on stuff and so much is being changed and adjusted. I will keep you guys posted with whatever I can say about the new tool.
Saz makes a good point: I forgot it already has a separate bit holder for the driver that I'm pretty positive will be in the EDC (I hope lol), so in that case I suppose the wrench may as well be separate, maybe engineer a new bit holder that can accommodate the wrench as well and call it a day. Leaves more room on the tool itself for more implements.
