It saved my very life.

I was able to pull the cork from a bottle of wine while at altitude in Yellowstone and in need of relief for the inner man. The corkscrew worked without flaw. It paid for itself several times over that day.

All the best,

How is the saw on these? Have you used it to cut anything? The saw on the one I handled didn't seem all that sharp.

I have had one for quite a while and admit i dont use it for much, I have used the corkscrew and the screwdrivers occasionally though.

None of the tools lock they are all held in place by tension of the frame. I think from a cool factor point of view and for the price its worth getting, but if you plan to use it as a tool you might be better off with a SAK or a multi tool.

The hammer is like the doctor's tool used to test your reflexes by tapping on you at certain places.

Have you never played doctor? You need this. If you are lucky there will come a time and a place.

The Harp is like Clark Kent in his business suit. Ready to kick *** at a moments notice. Mild mannered...

Terrific pic jaislandboy. Thank you.
