Roxon

Not a review of the tool itself yet, but ordered the modular part and all the tools individually, but also realized I order one wrong. Email response time was super fast and they changed it and fixed it for me immediately without having to refund and redo the whole thing. Customer service is good at least. We shall see how the tool holds up.

Roxon Flex Companion 3D printed scale with pen, tweezers and pin slots.

Hello. Yesterday I just read a thread about modifying the original scale, and today I came across a video where a person made a modified scale for Roxon. I asked his permission and posted the file on thingiverse and printables. Enjoy!

Looking for leatherman crunch.

Anyone in the Utah valley own a leatherman crunch? I am trying to find one and would be willing to trade a leatherman arc (obsidian) for it. I have put minimal use on it.

Caressolove Mulit tool

Does anyone have any experience with the Caressolove Multi tool? It is a non plier multi tool. It looks to have an interesting tool set. It has a detachable full size scissor. Is it good or junk? It’s $20

Trying to find the connection of the Doc Allen to the Andros F6A.

Bought several of these a long time ago on CountyComm. In a video of the product dubbed the Versatool Driver Set Pro on their Youtube channel states that it's used by the bomb squads, and it sits on the tool-kit of the F6A. Used to change the grips. I'm trying to find it in photos, tried Google, and the Remotec website, I don't see it in the tool kit of their products page. Having one of these in my EDC it's been reliable and I like it's carabineresque design so I can tether it and not lose it.

Interesting articles about the Gordon at HF (Leatherman Clone).

These two articles certainly underscore the price and similarity of the Gordon to the Leatherman Wave --but also underscore lack of availability and long term warranty, lack of clarity on quality of materials to build. Both articles seem to say if you're looking for an every day carry it may not be best----

Gordon

I had to send my Wave in for warranty repair and cannot find my Wingman, so I decided to pick this up for temporary use. Not bad for the price, but I do not care for how terrible the opening action is on the pliers, all of the blades are super stiff, and they used a weird smelling oil on it at the factory that is going to have to be cleaned off before I can actually use it. It feels off, I don't expect it to hold up to even moderate use.

Love this lil thing - NexTool Mini Flagship

Bought this the other day and have found it to be a useful edc, scissors are mighty impressive, haven't had the knife for long enough to state regarding how long itll hold its edge but right now the edge is great. The flat head and screwdriver have proven useful on multiple occasions.

The pliers are a point of worry for me as they're just very thin, i worry theyll snap if bent slightly under pressure. Anybody who's got one of these can you say if they're sturdy or not?

P.S im an event technician so i use these for tightening screws and cutting tape, zip-ties and what nots, the pliers i use for tightening bolts on tv stands.

A tool for what I need?

Gday,

I have been looking for a multi tool for my needs. I am yet to find one that has everything I am looking for, but reckon you blokes might be able to help.

I need:

  • good pliers
  • good wire cutters
  • knife
  • driver set and extensions (screws, hex etc)
  • awl
  • jigsaw blade holder

The other common things like bottle openers are superfluous to me.

Is there a multi tool out there that has what I need, and less of what I dont?

Is there a way to modify an off the shelf multi tool to have what i need?

Thanks in advance legends!

Doohickey+ or Geekey for keychain?

Please do not say "both".

I am trying to minimise my EDC.

For the Geekey, I am thinking to file off the outer sides of the smoking bowl, to create a pry bar, as I do not smoke.

Doohickey+ lacks a nail file on the side, and I somewhat like the innovative screwdriver on Geekey, because it is not just a Phillips like the Doohickey+.

Any long term users of these newer tools that can give advice is appreciated.
