My other multi tool

Well here is the smaller tool like I promised, I want to redo it and add more features as I think the forward finger hole is just wasted space. Regardless I will make a couple different variations once I start selling them. As with the other tool these are 5/32" D2 (cut from same sheet) and will be treated to HRc50. I don't have access to it where I am but the finished ones will have chamfered holes and come with breakaway neck lanyards and their own mini keyring.


The overall shot








Partial profile showing thickness and edge deburring





My hand for size comparison





How I hold it, I think some redesign is in order

When you start making them how much would they go for?

I become capability. I become the horror. What we know we can become only in our heart of darkness. It's my gift. It's my curse.

Are these tools efficient? I know nothing about them but they look useful (and must be otherwise you wouldn't plan to sell them). I know what its main function is.. Are thee secondary functions?

This small one only has a prybar/nailpuller, bottle opener and oxy shutoff wrench but I am making other versions with different tools in the same overall shape. Both the tools I have shown so far will go for $50 when I start selling.

Nice design Olaf and my congrats on that. Though, at $50 might as well get a Leatherman multitool. A nice full function one is like $30 and will have everything including pliers, saws, knife, etc. Didn't meant to burst your bubble but perhaps a contract with some machine shop would be nice so you can make these quicker at lower cost.

Guess they're more for people to have something unique than really be useful. That store above has a small pry bar for like $175. Just like Olaf's, stuff looks cool but at the asking price, highly impractical. That's of course my point of view and everyone is entitles to have their own opinion.
