Constructive criticism: Don’t use a dark background like your stained table. You can hardly see the tools because everything looks black and dark.

Someone needs to make a modular multi tool, like have a couple base platforms, then design it so one could buy various components that could be swapped out on the base tool.

On the Armbar Drive Slim which I own, similar to your Slim Cut, there is a bit of retention on the driver (maybe this is unlike the Armbar Drive full size). But I am happy with it as it is a tool for in a pinch. When a screw is threaded, it does not nees downward pressing force because it pulls itself in. Now this comes down to what you use it for. Small domestic stuff is great, hard-core handy work... nobody should be grabbing one of these in the first place.

Looking at this, because of locking blade, to replace Victorinox Huntsman as field knife. Thanks for the information. I EDC an Armbar slim drive and am very happy with in.

I have an old Gerber multiplier from last century. I would likely carry it if I did not have a dozen Leathermen.

[planetdee]

After watching your full video, I would highly recommend you try the Armbar Drive Slim as it does have some sort of minor retention.

They could have put an eyelet on the can opener to be utilized as a threading awl.

At the price I'm going to try one. I still like Gerber even though they've had their ups and downs. I had a problem with one of my folders a few years ago, and they stepped up immediately.

If it came with a locking blade, locking 1/4" bit driver, locking scissors, and a locking t-shank saw, I would pick one up in a heartbeat. The design is smart, but it's lacking critical important features.

[tonyambrose]

Do they publish what steel the blade is made from and what the hardness is?

[carlostovar]

Can the pioneer x be included in the arm bar category?

[richardporter]

I own two Slim drives and the bit driver locks in place way better and stronger than on my Armbar.

[leonasm]

couldn't you turn on the light?😀🙃

In general I think multi tools are are a meh solution to any problem. I've owned several over the decades, I laugh when I see someone use a "mini" multi tool. Seems like they normally make a task harder.

[petevelazquez]

Great kit, I'm in the process of building a similar one. The sharpener for shavings is a great idea 💡

[simonh]

Agree with you on the Armbar Drive/Slim Drive. In fact if the locks were the other way around, i.e. the lock on the driver, and the blade non-locking, I'd probably have bought one already since I'm in the UK and our stupid legislation outlaws carrying locking blades without valid reason.
As to the Armbar Scout, not a bad idea but for me my Victorinox Farmer X (93mm alox with scissors & wood saw) offers everything this does and more, in better quality, and has a certain pedigree as it's really the knife which Swiss Soldiers (okay conscripts) were issued for the best part of half a century, plus the excellent scissors and saw.

What do you think of that exceed designs utility knife?

I personally think victornox makes the best multi tools because they have good quality control

[wtcb]

Leatherman dreams on a Gerber budget😂 Equals disappoint.😢
