Simple Umnumzaan Take-Down Tool

[maxbelg]

After reading Haze's post about the amazing titanium prototype of a Umnumzaan take-down tool, I started thinking about a simple home-made version. I didn't want to clutter his thread, but thought this might be interesting to some of you. I broke one pin off an Umnumzaan take-down tool from Chris Reeve when I dissassembled my Umnumzaan for the first time, but kept the tool as it worked quite well with three pins. Of course you also need an allen wrench and so I made this little tool this morning. Obviously I just sawed a bit off, drilled 2 holes, hammered a cut-off allen wrench through the one hole and : voila! What do you guys think? It works very well and doesn't take too much space on my key-ring. I'd still buy one of Haze's amazing titanium ones if/when he sells them though!

Thanks Haze! It will serve me well until you sell your titanium model.................:thumbup: Another advantage is that one won't strip the hex screw by applying too much torque. (been there done that:grumpy
