Got me an MPT

[Benner]

Any more thoughts now you have had this a few days?

Hopefully mine will be here soon!

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

Well I've used it for a couple of days at work (were still refiting) and overall I'm quite happy with it, the pliers have been great to use, and feel impossibly light compared to my regular work Spirit , the screwdriver are however waaay to short , I've been spoilt by the reach of my Vic tool's

The utility blade I've not really made my mind up about , I've used it for scraping ancient sellotape off some shelving I've been working on, but it's a really limited blade design, with not much of a range of uses

It is comfortable though, certainly it must be amoungst the best of it's generation in that regard

The screwdrivers do look short.  You could always invest in the bit driver for it.  I think it would still fit the MPT.

Do the tools firmly snap open?

I'm not really too bothered about getting a bit kit for it, as i only bought it for occational edc, where a locker would be a no - no, I'm much to wedded to my Vic stuff to let any interlopers get any serious edc time

No the tool's don't firmly snap out, and there's not a lot of spring pressure to hold them in place, you'll probably find it'll be very similar overall to your PST

I thought you would say that.    The tools on my multiplier sort of flop open and then flop closed.  There seems to be very little snap to the hold.

I am hoping to edc mine most of the time.  Because of my job, a locker is a big no no so the MPT looks perfect for EDC. Twinned with a SAK of course!

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

Well while the snap isn't anywhere as good as a SAK it's not terrible, maybe I'm a bit more lenient toward it, because of the number of slippies I've had?

If it's as good as the PST I'll be happy.    I just hope it has more than my Multiplier which is a bit pathetic really.

Given that there of the same era...I doubt it, but at least the tool's can't close on your fingers

The file is among the thickest I've seen on a multi so I'm not sure how well the saw would work, but it is nice having it there.

Also, it looks like your model is lacking the "speedbumps" seen here. Is the opening/closing cycle smooth like a typical butterfly tool?

Which one is the newer production?

My BO and stainless ones look exactly like Spoonrobot's. Simonds file blade, speedbumps on the handles, also nail nick cutouts. My opinion is also that Mike's is an earlier model.

Mike, no doubt this earlier model is far inferior. It will probably fail on you at the worst possible moment. Best bet would be to send it on to me for safe keeping lad. 

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

Good idea, you'd best PM me your address

Bob is one generous guy that's for sure!

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

Bob is generous to a fault, i'd be stupid not to take him up on his kind offer

Always thinking of others instead of myself, its a burden I live with every day

It must be a great strain on you

[Benner]

Well it is here!   I will take a few pictures and share a few thoughts later.

Congrate's Ben mate , so what do ya think of it

[cryptrick]

Come on where are them pics    Here's Benner with another super duper BO tool. You'll have more BO tools than most of us put together soon

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

Keep hasseling him for picture's, he's always hounding me for them

[Roadie]

Come on Ben whats taking you so long!?

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

He's probably having a kip, bloody youngens...no stamina

[Roadie]

Yep, we were real men back then, _{grumble grumble} 

[Benner]

LOL   Actually I was working my butt off at work.   Pics will happen soon I promise!

Initial thoughts?  Hmmm   Like it has been said before the quality is not amazing.  The snap is non existant, even worse than my multiplier.   But I do like it's size and tool selection. Have had little time to play with it yet though so I am not jumping to anything.

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

I don't think it's one of those tools, say like the swisstool's that instantly grabs you, I think it takes a while to appreciate it

I don't think anyone should expect superb quality from such an early design. I think the MPT looks a good one to have in any multitool collection and its a BO

[Benner]

Don't get me wrong, I do like it, but I don't love it like I have done with some others... yet!

Whats with you being an Admin now anyway, has Def gone mad   And he's dropped you down to 1 star... what you done to deserve that

I paid him lots and lots of money, and showered him with diamonds, rubies and flattering compliments. 

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

Worked for me too

Lol   I knew it must have cost you a bit   I was going to say I'll be an admin one day, but I just don't have enough diamonds to offer him.. never mind
