This Spyderench looks really cool! I want one. One question though...How exactly does it stay in its closed position without falling open? Does it have some sort of a locking mechanism? Ok, maybe two questions.
Thanks,
Danimal
 
The diamond file/extended bit, which also holds the smaller bits in place, protrudes from the adjustable wrench, so the phillips head functions as a spring loaded detent. Great piece of engineering!

While we're talking about that specific piece, a thought:

Any thought given to diamond coating the tip of the phillips driver so it could be used to etch glass and metal?

Hi Sal - I realized that - I've been trying to think of a way around it, maybe a groove leading to the detent that would contact on the edges of the phillips head, rather than the tip, then the detent could be deeper and wider, allowing the point to settle in upon reaching position. By contacting deeper, and along the phillips "vanes", a more solid closure could also be obtained.

Just thinkin'...

That extended bit always winds up in a "stylus" grip in my hand when I'm playing, so using it to "write" something seems like a natural evolution.

Brian - What you are suggesting is more difficult to mfr than imagined. You may have to purchase a diamond "stylus" for glass. sorry.
