I just got my new 2009 Spyderco Product catalog a few days ago and I noticed the SpydeRench and the byrdRench (T01 and BY15 in the catalog respectively). I tried looking up some user info from anyone on YouTube and all I could find was a silent demonstration video titled "Spyderco byrdRench Multitool & Knife." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zjf7PA5embc

The 'gadget' looks kinda gimmicky but with all the 'stuff' on it, I must admit that I'm a bit intrigued. It's a little heavy (8 oz. for the Byrd edition / 7.8 oz. for the Spyderco ed.). Anyway, I figured I'd hit up the forums and see if anyone has purchased the multitool yet, and if so, what is your honest take on the thing. Is it too cumbersome? Too bulky? How does it feel? etc.

Thanks.
 
Played with the Spydewrench at the local knife store that I frequent. The dude that runs the store said several have played with it but no takers. I thought it was bulky and hoaky. The fit and finish was not what I expected either - kinda sloppy. It didn't feel tight to me.

In my mind - if you need a crescent wrench you need a crescent wrench - not a folder with a wrench built in. I'm the kind who will buy something like that just for the coolness factor and it didn't even get my interest peaked.
