    Tru Utility are terrible pocket knives and tools. They are normally so blunt they can't cut anything. Also break easy and terrible manufacturing quality I thought they were made by Tesla.

      Heat treats are not great on them either, I tried to sharpen one if their G-10 Flipper knives, that a local outdoor shop sells tonnes of, and the 8cr would not even take an edge. And no I didn’t buy one myself I found it in a bush with a very bent out clip.

    looks to me like the driver is in a direct line with the back corner which when spinning a tool this fat for driving can simplify a pivot technique so try that and tell us if that is perhaps a good design after all or if I'm wrong because I've never seen someone try what I think they tried here give them space and try it

    Great idea, terrible execution. I bought one for myself for hiking. the set of tools is exactly what I need, but... half of the useful length of the knife is "eaten up" by the peg (I cut it off), there are huge gaps in all the tools. Spacer rings have the worst quality I ever saw before, made by a press with a tolerance of +/- 0.1 in thickness. The fixing axis screw has an M3.5 thread, which cuts it out through the anti-rotation slot (I had to change it to another one myself). as a conclusion - I would buy one like this even for $100, but in normal quality, otherwise... it’s not even worth those that are sold for $20 on Aliexpress.... 😔

    IMHO, the Surge clones (12.5 oz) and Wave clones (9.5 oz) are not substitutes for this product. I appreciate that True Utility is offering products in the sub 7 oz range, though the poor execution will likely eliminate it as a contender. Weight is a key consideration for me, so I’m on the lookout for full-sized plier-based tools in this size and weight class.

  • @TestSpaceMonkey
    @TestSpaceMonkey 5 місяців тому +2

    Yeah, these seem like a miss. I do find it's worth checking what they're up to because what Tru Utility lacks in tool steels they make up in trying stuff out. Maybe half their stuff I've tried didn't work out but the other half remains in rotation. Often there's nothing else quite like it:
    - TU47 over-the-key tool helps conceal key bitting and has helped out more than enough times to justify the vanishing size.
    - TU264 firestash+ peanut lighter adds a built-in carabiner in the top for quick access and return.
    Also: blade-wise, almost anything is better than using your remaining teeth and wishful thinking.

    I'd buy the bit driver/knife one if I could take it apart and mod my Gerber armbar with the lock system to finally have a decent pocket bit driver. Milwaukee fastback with the screwdriver is only one to do it almost perfect, but the tool is so big in your pocket.

    Going to return my knife/driver, it's unfortunate how difficult opening the bit driver is on mine with just my thumb. I even have issues opening the knife due to how my hand kinda rolls over the top of the knife when I try to open it. Didn't work for me but I hope others have better luck

    2:40 That bit driver is a pretty poor design. There's no practical reason to make the opening angled like that.
    If they had made it straight like a normal bit driver, the driver itself could be used as a 1/4" nut driver.

    I once bought some true utility tools. Besides the tools were of lesser quality than I expected, there was already some rust on them right from the package! Nothing severe, but come on! Seriously? Rusty stain from the package? The price was nice though and several years have passed since then. I may give true utility another chance one day, but I will always be suspicious abouth their quality.
