No raised alpha, beta, gamma radiation levels or any neutron emmision.
I did not test for positrons though...

Fantastic photos guys, thats probably more use than a prybar has ever actually had before.

Side question; how far did the card, showing what size o-rings go where, get to? I haven't seen it with the tin in any recent pictures.

I think this might be my bad

Uses for the MTO

Changing beeper batteries:

Screwing:

Removing labels:

Screwing in hooks:

The major improvement I could see would be to make the variable spanner section a bit bigger so as to accomodate a short double headed screwdriver bit.

A minor improvement could be to add a sharp edge inside one of the "M" corners so as to be able to cut string.

Didn't you hear? We changed it to a Europe only passaround last month!

stealth007s · **Reply #100 on:** February 21, 2013, 02:54:11 AM

I don't think so, hand it over

I hope you're talking about the robo-hamster.

those hamsters are great fun!

It's certainly going to be a wrench for you to let it go

dks · **Reply #105 on:** February 25, 2013, 06:43:58 PM

Last pictures before they are packed to be shipped off.

I found the Tofty one a bit bulky and heavy and carried the MTO one daily.
Maybe if they were made from a different material, a lighter one, or if I needed a heavy duty prybar things would be different. They were both non-radioactive and their outer finish was very nice and tough.

My suggestion was to make the variable spanner part bigger so as to store a small twin headed bit there. Also a small cutting area would be good.

The weight difference is small but noticeable.

They will be posted tomorrow, marked discreetly as Pu-238, so as to fly under the customs Radar and reach their destination safely

Bye Bye little tools

dks · **Reply #106 on:** February 26, 2013, 02:02:56 PM

The tools were posted to Croatia today

Knowing how the post office works they should be there in 3 to 30000 days.

Taxi Dad · **Reply #107 on:** February 26, 2013, 03:32:50 PM

no real point in anyone else testing them, you did such a good job mate

No, I just took some nice pictures to make it look like I was using them

7-10 would be my guess.

Current record is 5 months though.

enki_ck · **Reply #110 on:** March 05, 2013, 07:22:09 PM

I received the package today.

The MTO one is on my keychain for the next couple of days and will then be replaced with the TOFTY one.

dks · **Reply #111 on:** March 06, 2013, 07:55:03 AM

Good. I was getting worried that it was taking too long to go to you.

Tofty · **Reply #112 on:** March 09, 2013, 12:00:53 AM

Absolutely loving the pictures everyone, some great reviews and feedback.

I did originally look at having storage for a bit but decided against it due to space limitations, i think i'll have another look at it just to see if it's at all possible.

Thanks again everyone for taking part.

Sparky415 · **Reply #113 on:** March 09, 2013, 12:22:13 AM

And Thank you for giving us the chance to try out and play with some unique tools

enki_ck · **Reply #114 on:** March 15, 2013, 12:41:55 PM

I've been carrying the Tofty one for the last couple of days. Not very keychain friendly. Much bigger and heavier than than MTO one and no real way of attaching it to the keychain except on the o-ring. I'll post some more pics and thoughts come weekend.

stealth007s · **Reply #115 on:** April 08, 2013, 06:21:59 AM

Now it's my turn to ~~brake~~ play with these cool little tools. They came in Friday but I'm just now remembering to post that they came in. It's been more than two weeks Nikola since you said you'd post your thoughts

How's this all coming along?

No, I still have them. I'm going to contact Ombudsman for his mailing info.
