Can any of you guys that have one comment on the “hammer” that the pliers form when the tool is closed? Would you feel comfortable giving a few whacks with it, or does it seem like bad force to be at plying to the pliers and a likely way to smurf up the tool
OK. I just received mine as a gift so I was surprised when it came in. It’s better than I expected but not fantastic. (Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)Th knives are nicely shaped and came moderately sharp. I touched both up and they cut well. Just wish they had better steel. (Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)This is the side with the Philips and pry. Very thick tools and appear to be strong. (Image removed from quote.)This is the Philips driver. I tried it on a few screws and it works MUCH better than I expected. Still needs a bit driver though. (Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)The pry bar seems especially well made. (Image removed from quote.)This is the awl. I tried it on some wood. If you have a small pilot hole it cuts well but I wonder how well the tip will hold up. (Image removed from quote.)This is the medium driver/ruler. Looks a little thin but time will tell. It may work since there is a dedicated pry bar. (Image removed from quote.)I really like the pliers. They seem to be very well made and strong. (Image removed from quote.)These are the magnetic catches. They seem to work well but I wonder how much metal they will attract. (Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)The scissors work well and are better than the Wave scissors. (Image removed from quote.)I haven’t tried the saw but it looks like it will work fine. (Image removed from quote.)The overall fit and finish is very good. The tools on one side did inadvertently open when I CLOSED the pliers one handed with a sharp snap. The outer tools stayed in place though. This tool is well done but I still think it’s overpriced. The tools themselves seem no better that ST 300 quality. However, if this tool is upgraded with better knife steel, a bit driver and a t shank adapter it would be fantastic. As is, is decent but about $50-75 too expensive. I was wrong about one thing for sure. It’s a great platform but needs a few changes to make it elite. By the way, the sheath is definitely meh....Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
The Philips seems to bite just as well as the bit. In fact, maybe a little better in the larger screws. Having said that, if you bend it you can’t easily replace it like a bit. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
I wonder what the engraving I circled in blue on the ruler/screwdriver means. Maybe a tool adapter?(Image removed from quote.)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Looking good Monrogue
Congrats, Monrogue! Dear god, that phillips is thick. Can we really call it 2D anymore? The splay does look reasonable as well. Thank you for the info and pics!
Can anyone comment or take pictures of the elastomer bits? Curious to see how the plastic parts are executed.
Yes, both that and the prybar are very solid indeed. And flicking the pliers open and squeezing the handles in place has such a nice click to it. This thing is rather fun
Are those the black bits around the handle pivots? (Image removed from quote.)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I also want to mention the handle splay, which I’m pretty sure you’ve brought up as an issue with other MT’s, and is a concern I share having small-average sized hands. It is not an issue for me with the P2, which is also a plus (Image removed from quote.)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Thank you. Very cool with the pry tool and extra thick phillips. Oh man. I gotta wait until after work tomorrow to get my hands on the P2. And then sometimes UPS doesn't deliver until 8pm.
I honestly don’t know In the shot videos they mentioned it and how they tested it for a million cycles, but they never showed what part s they were or what they did. Since it’s a new bit of “tech” like the magnets, I’m curious to see how it all works. Thanks for the pic!
Yeah, the pictures I've seen with the jaws closed, does look like an improvement over their recent trends in that regard. Thanks for the confirmation, and the open jaw pic, Kyle
I appreciate each who have shared their impressions and pictures of the new toys. One item I have not read, yet, is the pocket clip and how the P2 and P4 will ride in a front pocket. Thank you AWLI can’t say on that yet, but will be in jeans at work on Friday and will have it clipped to my right front pocket.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
