Are these manufactured in Titania by unionized Titanians? This website tells me so little.

Your excellent interaction in this discussion convinced me to place an order :) Thanks for setting a good example.

I'm curious why you're asking why? If it isn't for you, then close the page and move along. Not intending to be confrontational, I'm genuinely curious.
Personally, I've owned a Leatherman since they first were created. I was 13 when I got it (still have it somewhere) and I've carried one model or another literally daily since then. I'm an ME/EE and usually use it several times a day, every day. People are always borrowing it as well. I can't imagine not carrying one. Actually, I almost always have a Leatherman, flashlight, and Sharpie at all times. Sharpie is optional, light and tool are not.
This is one of the few non-Leatherman tools I've seen that seems to be perfect for when you need a super low profile tool. Perhaps when wearing a suit? I do admit the comb seems a bit over the top, but if he had to balance the deign with another blade, why not? Also, I love that the creator is participating in the discussion. Thanks!
Very well designed. I went to his website and poked around, I'd highly suggest doing that if you're remotely interested. Gave a much better overview.
I find it very interesting that you don't see a use for this. Or something similar. It's odd how different people's lives can be. But that's what makes the world go around.

LmcmannI think my secondary response summed up my opinion of multi-tools rather succinctly.
As far as "why".. I think it's mostly because I remember when Massdrop had good deals on cool products..

It would be nice if these multi-tools included nail clippers. A flick knife, decent nail clippers, tweezers, bottle opener, screw driver. Titanium is nice, resists salt water.

JWKimI wasn't able to get a decent nail clipper in there just due to geometry, but it has a nail file that can help in a pinch. It does have all the other things. Scissors was another one of those things that won't work well at that scale. It would take up several plates and would ideally have a long moment arm to help with the forces and keep the cut as long as possible. The three blades each have specific target uses, and the main blade can do a lot of what scissors would be used for. There are always engineering tradeoffs of space, comfort, weight and cost. It would be nice to have a magnifying glass, but it's also not that practical in the space we have. I am able to leverage the center slot for a lot of things such the whistle, hex bit, ferro stick, mini hex bit in the whistle, mini pen, glow stick, etc. I'm hoping to make a flashlight to fit in there. It would be the world's smallest, so it's another engineering challenge!

Hello, I finally got around to making a review of the ToolFob, its lengthy but I wanted to be as thorough as possible.
One thing I didn't get to say in the video (because it didn't exist yet) is the whistle is utterly amazing. Its so loud I think my ears are still ringing.

RNJohnThe trick is to plug the whistle into the hex hole with the open end up. Blow a strong stream of air over the open end, using the ToolFob as a chin rest to better center your airstream. The airstream gets divided into two paths; one that goes straight across the opening and one that goes in the body of the whistle. Eddys are created by the air going into the whistle since it has to turn around to get out. That sets up pressure waves that hit a resonance that we hear as sound waves. More air and better focused air will make for a louder sound. I included an instruction sheet with the whistles now.

Hi Bruce.
Just want to reply to your comments to my suggestions. Thank you for even aknowleging my comments. I am not on a designer level, so am very flattered.
Regarding the whistle. I assume present whistle is that way: 123db loud.
Just want to let you know that the two reviews I had watched on YouTube did not give the whistle any justice. One did not get any sound, and second one was faint. To me it is a big selling point. Also, the description on drop, I believe only says whistle. It should spec 123db right there in big bold letters. I would also include a letter to reviewers, the ones you know about, on how to use the whistle. Many times, EDC stuff is obvious in use, so the guys probably do not read directions.
I don't care too much about a flashlight. Usually I don't need one and eventually the batteries corrode, and corrode material inside. Ahh. If one is available, fine, there may be a situation when I need one. In my whole life I needed a flashlight one time, well, in an unpredictable way, where EDC flashlight would be great to have. But I am sure there are some people who need one, period.
As far as rulers, they are nice. Especially if you can combine them with other tools. But they are not important for me enough to use a separate slot in my EDC tool for them.
Regarding scissors, I measured my SA classic SD and the blades are only 5/8". I use them exclusively to cut my nails. Did not have any other purpose for them. I tried cutting my nail, and saw that I only utilize about 3/8" of the blade, because of sweet power spot. Then I have to open them up wide and continue. So, from this observation, I think 1/2" scissors would be plenty useful.
I agree about the Raptor blade. I love it too, almost as much as the serated blade. But for me, a key chain has to be minimalist due to weight and size. So I would only want one blade. I did not even think about removable E-xacto blade untill I read your own thinking on that. I have lost one of my Swiss Army knives to TSA one time. Forgot to leave it at home. With an option of removable E-xacto, I would just give TSA agent the blade, and that's that, and would still have the rest of the tools, and could purchase another blade on arrival. So I like that idea a whole lot. Plus, removable E-xacto blade never dulls, because it gets replaced with fresh one easily. So that's an unbeatable proposition.
Just one more idea, I am thinking how you propose things to public ( in my case "me" ), and I have my own thinking on what is important to me. Now, most people who care about EDC are DIRers, I think. What if I could take your tool apart, and add or substract options to/from it. And if an option showed up in the future, that I want, but was not available before, I don't need to buy a whole new tool. This is not far off from replaceable blades, so you probably have that, or something close to it, available already.
Thank you for building beautiful EDC stuff.
I will keep my eye out for different options and designes coming from you in the future.

I think this tool would be much more functional if were slightly larger. It needs a bigger brother. Maybe not as big as a full size multi tool but after watching the vid I feel it's just too tiny to be of any real function. And it bothers me that it's missing the tools considered the most useful like scissors, phillips head, a strong flat head (as pointed out the wire stripper compromises the strength of the one torquing tool in the entire design). Yes the hex driver gives u that add on but shouldn't there also be integral phillips & flat for convenience? Will keep an eye out for a larger more functional design tho bc I think he's onto something with how unique it is, just not quite there yet as far as usefulness goes.

truthandtattoosI never say never. A next version has the screwdrivers integral. It does take a lot of money up front to make a batch of these. When I was first prototyping, I did a 2” version and that felt too small. Things were really tight on space and clearances for all the stuff behind the scenes. I then did a 2 1/4” version and it felt too big to me. Didn’t fit in the hand as well and was much heavier, like 1 1/2x heavier. That somewhat negated the unique aspect of using the lightweight but expensive titanium and would use a lot more of it. There’s plenty of others doing larger tools that are much heavier. I wanted this to feel extreme and felt the niche would be to do one just impossibly light as well as reasonable size tools. I settled on 2 1/8” for the length, which still feels good in the hand or in a pocket. Looking into a TSA safe version that has a removable craft blade like an X-Acto. I also am looking at an extremely small one with fewer tools for a keychain or necklace. It all takes tens of thousands of dollars to have them made though.
