KeymasterI just picked up one of these little chaps; http://www.heinnie.com/product.asp?strParents=&CAT_ID=0&P_ID=5776&strPageHistory=search&numSearchStartRecord=1 and thought I’d share it with you. Sorry for the noisy pics, I was having a bad camera day.

Boker Plus Vox Access Tool by yellowhammer_01, on FlickrBottom view. Very flat on this side. Note the nail lifter is supposed to be used this way up.

Boker Plus Vox Access Tool by yellowhammer_01, on FlickrI quite like it a a pocket tool to fiddle with but it has two main drawbacks to my mind – the pry edge is too thick and the ‘biner gate is difficult to use. I’m going to EDC it for a bit just to see how it gets on but I don’t think it will replace my Pico Widgy. But it’s Ti, I’ll bang the torch on it, make it go pretty colours and play with it for a bit. In a word: underwhelmed. ;D
